Megan Larsen on the power of natural skincare.
A passionate advocate of the power of plants, Megan Larsen is a pioneer in the spa world when it comes to natural skincare. She speaks from the heart when discussing natural beauty and has truly embraced wellness with her brand, Sodashi. A believer in the efficacy of essential oils, the products she has created demonstrate how natural ingredients can positively influence mind, body and soul. Authentic and compelling, her story is one of commitment to her principles and devotion to health and well-being. Born in New Zealand, Larsen now lives in Australia and incorporates wellness into her life following the 80:20 rule. Ayurveda and Transcendental Meditation help define her daily life, with a healthy diet, exercise and Tibetan Rites ensuring she maintains balance, peace and happiness in equal measure.
With a background in beauty therapy and natural healthcare (as well as time working in the hotel industry) Larsen went onto study aromatherapy and found her true calling. While travelling through the lavender fields of Provence she was inspired to develop her own skincare products and launched Sodashi in 1999. Meaning ‘wholeness, purity and radiance’ in Sanskrit, Sodashi is uncompromised in its formulations and the quality of ingredients. Larsen explains, “The spa world was not focused on natural ingredients when we launched. I wanted to change the perception about natural products, and demonstrate that they could deliver and be truly effective.”
