Our Promise: Natural Skincare That Respects Your Skin & Our Planet
Welcome to Scenturie! I’m Tania Cibulskis, the founder of Scenturie, and my journey began with a deep-seated desire to create skincare that is both beneficial for our well-being and responsible to our planet.
With a deep love for nature and the outdoors, over 25 years of experience as a health professional, and degrees in science and health science, I have a profound connection to natural wellness. This background, combined with being born and raised in the pristine environment of New Zealand, made me question the complex, chemical-laden products on the market. I knew there had to be a better way—a way that harnessed the potent, healing power of nature.
“I envisioned Scenturie as a sanctuary for those seeking skincare that aligns with their values. In a world increasingly conscious of its environmental footprint, we stand as a beacon of responsible beauty, rooted in the rich biodiversity and cultural heritage of New Zealand.”
