Founder Story

From a mother's search for answers.

What began as a personal solution for Ariana's postpartum hair loss became CRISAN Beauty — a family-founded collection inspired by generations of Ayurvedic hair care traditions from her husband's Sri Lankan family recipes and trusted by thousands of women throughout the world.

Our Story

We are The Selva Family, the founders of CRISAN Beauty.

CRISAN began with a mother's journey. After experiencing postpartum hair loss and thinning hair, Ariana Selvaratnam — a mother of seven — turned to a treasured Ayurvedic hair oil recipe that had been passed down through her husband's family for generations.

Her husband, Jett, was born on the beautiful island of Sri Lanka, where the tradition of nourishing hair with botanical oils has been practiced for centuries. Inspired by these time-honored formulations, Ariana carefully refined and expanded the original recipe, blending dozens of nutrient-rich oils into what would eventually become CRISAN's signature Hair Strengthening Oil.

What began as a personal solution soon became a passion to help other women experiencing similar struggles.

The Beauty of Synergy

What makes this formula so special is not simply the oils themselves, but the harmony they create together. Each ingredient was selected for its unique properties, working in synergy to nourish the scalp, strengthen the hair, and support healthier-looking growth.

For Ariana, the transformation was life-changing.

Trusted by Women Across the United States

Today, more than 120,000 women across the United States have incorporated CRISAN Hair Strengthening Oil into their self-care routines. From postpartum recovery to thinning hair and scalp wellness, thousands of women have discovered the beauty of this ancient Ayurvedic tradition brought to life for the modern world.

From Our Family to Yours

Every bottle is crafted with the same care, heritage, and purpose that inspired CRISAN from the very beginning.
