Origin Story:
Championing Natural Beauty

Metta Murdaya is from Indonesia and has grown up in Jakarta, San Francisco, and NYC. As a global citizen, she has experienced burnout from living a high-achievement lifestyle in her youth, which propelled her to start a skincare line based on her heritage of self-care and holistic healing. She believed that finding ways to stay balanced and happy is a better life approach to maintaining physical and mental health than waiting until total overwhelm, and found a simple way to do that in her backyard - in the Indonesian tradition of Jamu. And with close friends Yoshiko Roth-Hidalgo and Jill Sung, JUARA was born.

Yoshiko Roth-Hidalgo

A nutrition specialist and a lifelong product junkie, Yoshiko's passion for creating healthy, effective skincare stemmed from her father, a chemist. She believes enjoyability is as important as effectiveness in all formulations.

Jill Sung

A Harvard educated doctor practicing clean eating, Jill's western science background has been the Yang to Metta's expertise in Indonesian ingredients.
