Goa Adivasi Parampara

Goa Adivasi Parampara is a project aimed at reviving the Kunbi saree. The saree typically was woven in handloom cotton in a variety of checks with a signature border of two-layered rudraksha motifs. The body of the saree was dyed in hues of either red or blue. This saree was worn by local Catholic women, a farming community indigenous to Goa. The Kunbi saree went out of production when the looms in Goa closed  and the community moved to more affordable polyester sarees. This project aspires to take the saree beyond the boundaries of the community and the state by adding Kunbi to the long list of India’s rich regional weaves.

We are dedicated to crafting high quality, healthy and affordable skin care products that will nourish your skin and be kind to the environment. Our ingredients are locally sourced wherever possible. All of our recipes are formulated, created, tested repeatedly on family and friends and manufactured at our unit in Goa. No part of the production process is outsourced, we oversee the entire process to ensure quality and consistency, and we do it all ourselves so the product comes from our family to yours!

Quinta Essentia Organic

The name ‘Quinta Essentia’ derives from the 5th element of existence – Ether or Quintessence – the space that holds the other elements and refers to something in its purest form. It is a space that promotes mindfulness. We believe that the outer body and the inner consciousness together make a person who they truly are. The traditions, recipes and concoctions of Ayurveda, around which all our formulations are based, are known for holistically nurturing both the body and the soul.

With close to 20 years of experience, Arti, who trained at Baidyanath Research Institute and Dhyan Foundation brings not only expertise, but also a passion for gentle, sustainable and effective skin wellness to each and every product developed at Quinta Essentia. 

Vnya of the Wild 

All our products come as directly from the source as possible, from across the country and are personally collected and curated. We believe that food should be as fresh and seasonal as possible and best procured from the areas they grow in and consumed at a time when they are naturally abundant. Sustainable farming, living, and consuming is the way forward, made possible with small conscious and doable decisions. Starting your journey with organic and non-toxic foods as well as biodegradable or plastic-free products can help you move us towards a healthier life and environment. We are also extremely committed to finding the best ways to utilise our excess produce and packaging and maintaining a low to zero waste policy in all our processes.
