Behind Native Essentials
Daniela Pelonara
Meet Daniela - an Italian-born, Bangkok-based skincare formulator who turned her passion for clean beauty into purpose. After earning her Japanese degree and building a successful corporate fashion career, she decided to follow her true calling: creating effective, research-backed skincare.
In 2011, after 18 years in fashion, she traded boardroom presentations for botanical formulations. Native Essentials emerged as her "sensory travel diary" - inspired by beauty rituals discovered while exploring Asia and beyond. (Because who doesn't love turning wanderlust into something meaningful?)
As both formulator and blogger, Daniela brings authenticity to everything she creates. Each product and article combines solid science with traditional botanical wisdom - because skincare should be both effective and sustainable. No pseudoscience, just real results backed by research.
Today, while balancing entrepreneurship with raising two kids, she runs Native Essentials as a genuine labor of love. Her mission? Creating honest, effective skincare while making evidence-based beauty wisdom accessible to everyone.
