In August 2019, I realized I could no longer support the inhumane practices of the factory farm industry. I could no longer justify my consumption of animal products... ESPECIALLY not when I had other options.

Thus, my vegan journey began. 

Upon deciding to avoid consuming animal products, I became more mindful of what I was putting in my body. I began noticing positive physical AND mental changes, along with feeling lighter overall. I realized THIS is how I'm supposed to feel, and immediately became passionate about my health. 

I started paying more attention to the products I was rubbing ON my skin, in addition to the things I was consuming. 

I noticed that all of the store-bought skincare products in my bathroom were loaded up with mystery ingredients that I couldn't even pronounce. 

I started looking up ingredients and studying the endocrine disrupting chemicals present in MOST skincare products. Your skin is your largest organ, and everything that get absorbed through your pores seeps into your bloodstream. 

I realized my body was ALREADY absorbing toxins daily, from how polluted the NJ/NYC air and water is. 

Then I realized I was overloading my body with toxins even more by rubbing products on my skin that contained mystery chemicals and ingredients. I was damaging my already sensitive & eczema prone skin EVEN MORE.

Most skincare products also contain animal derived ingredients such as collagen, glycerin, beeswax, and lanolin... which is gross and unnecessary. There is absolutely no reason to be using animal products to maintain healthy skin, when plants have ALL the nutrients that your skin needs to thrive. 

"If you want something done correctly, you have to do it yourself."

Once I noticed that none of the skincare products in stores were living up to the standard of skincare that I had in my brain...I decided to take matters into my own hands. 

I had to figure out a way to bring these eco-conscious products out of my brain...and into reality. 

So, I started creating. Studying. Experimenting. Formulating. My skin became significantly healthier and I realized that my products were too good  to keep all to myself!

I began sharing them with my coworkers at the time, and they fell in love. SEEING their skin transform, right in front of my eyes, made me feel ALIVE. Their honest, raw feedback gave me the confidence boost that I needed to share my creations with the rest of the world. 

Thus, Ayanna's Infusions was born.

I pour my heart and soul into these products, and I can't WAIT for you to feel it.
