not just another baby care line
VIVAIODAYS is Made for Good People
Our Story
The Beginning
Our Commitment
VIVAIODAYS started, in essence, when our family did. When our first child was born, we made a family commitment to funding education in communities less privileged than ours.

The School Visits
Over the years, as this commitment became a bigger focus for us, we travelled widely, seeking out local education initiatives to support on a long-term basis.
Our Inspiration
The Discovery
The journey led us eventually to Borneo, where in a Bajau village on the sea, we saw local mothers using homemade turmeric pastes to protect their kids’ skin from the sun. And it worked. This was a turning point for us. For hundreds of years, people all over the world have been handing down proven natural remedies from generation to generation, and this ancient knowledge deserves our respect.
Our Mission
Our mission was born: we were going to rediscover trusted traditional remedies from all corners of the globe, and distill them into their most sustainable forms.
We see it as a win-win exchange
We use the world's accumulated wisdom for our needs, and give back 2% of our revenues to support the next generation’s education across the global community we’re part of.
Our People
Among us are two founders with a combined 30 years in the beauty industry, the anthropological-autodidact Indiana Jones of medicinal herbs, the greenest chemist we’ve ever known and a talented creative director who distills all our ideas into visual form on the bottle/tube you hold in your hand. The journey is as exciting as it is challenging.The internet can’t teach us this stuff: it demands a hunger for collective wisdom and the enthusiastic study of historical ways of life from all corners of our globe. Employing modern science to refine wildly diverse, sometimes primitive techniques into safe, beneficial family care products in line with European clean standards isn’t simple. But it’s possible. It’s what we do.
