How it all started!
QUORA was born out of the need for integrity in the skin and hair care industry and the products we use every day. In a world driven by consumerism, a change of consciousness is needed to make decisions motivated by our health and the well-being of the planet. We wanted to change traditional concepts, go back to our roots and look for all the answers in the simplicity of nature...
Hello, my name is Diana, I was born and raised in Colombia. I moved to the US when I was 20 and lived in New York City ever since. Growing up in Colombia Mom and Grandma taught me how to resort to nature as medicine. From treating fever, colds, rashes, allergies the list goes on. I was no stranger to natural remedies. Ever since I was little I wanted to understand everything about hair. Its cycles, its different types of texture, how it grows. I bought my first book about hair when I was 10 and never stopped learning. Living in the United States changed my perspective of the world and expanded my knowledge and curiosity. Experiencing consumerism in a country where overproduction is the rule opened my eyes to different alternatives. I learned about sustainability at design school where I focused on learning how a product can be as aesthetically pleasing as it is efficient and revolutionary.
Quora was born out of my personal frustration with finding skin and hair care products that were honest, clean and actually worked! free of harmful chemicals for our health and the environment. The huge footprint left by plastic led me to rethink my way of consuming and consider solutions around it. Creating a shampoo bar was challenging, but even more challenging was creating a high quality bar that embodied all of the core values I grew up with. There are a lot of shampoo bar options out there but finding one that actually works is a different story. I am a faithful believer that our actions are as powerful as they are necessary to generate change, each individual action, no matter how small, has the potential to revolutionize, just be patient and consistent.
