In today’s world, we’re very used to seeing synthetic ingredients and fast-fix fads when it comes to our beauty and skincare routine. But as awareness about the dangers of these man-made solutions rises, more and more people are turning to nature for healing. At the heart of the movement in Sri Lanka lies Oma Ceylon, a native brand founded by Binu Wickramasinghe, rooted in the island’s rich heritage of spice farming and holistic wellness.
With turmeric as its hero ingredient, Oma Ceylon has built a collection of pure, organic products designed to harness the power of nature, from turmeric latte mixes and soaps, to black pepper, vanilla pods, and Ceylon cinnamon.
Today, Oma is slowly transforming into a gateway to ancient (and increasingly essential) wisdom of Sri Lankan ingredients.
Turmeric For The Skin
Turmeric has been an ancient remedy for many ailments; this inherent knowledge has been passed on through generations. But with modern research backing what South Asian households have known for centuries, the natural ingredient is experiencing an all-time demand in skincare and beauty. Rich in curcumin, turmeric carries anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties that help combat acne, calm irritation, and brighten skin tone.
Oma Ceylon’s turmeric powder is as pure as it gets, organically grown and minimally processed, making it the perfect base for DIY face masks that do more than just pamper. For oily skin, mix it with curd and besan (gram flour). If you suffer from dry skin, add milk cream or avocado. Acne-prone? A simple combination of Oma Ceylon turmeric and honey creates a golden remedy that soothes while it heals. And while turmeric’s vibrant colour may temporarily stain the skin, a quick milk rinse usually washes away all traces of it.
This age-old spice is now verified and backed by science. It treats everything from eczema and psoriasis to hyperpigmentation and sun damage. What’s more–it’s all achievable without the artificial additives that saturate many modern skincare products.
Turmeric With A Pinch Of Black Pepper
Skincare goes beyond what we put on our bodies, but includes what we put in them. Oma Ceylon’s turmeric latte mix makes wellness delicious. Rich in curcumin, this energising blend provides a boost of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant power in every sip. But that’s a trick to unlocking turmeric’s full potential: black pepper.
Why, you may wonder! Piperine is a compound in black pepper that increases the body’s ability to absorb curcumin by up to 2000%. Oma Ceylon smartly brings both to your pantry, freshly ground black pepper in both seed and powder form, organically sourced and never diluted with fillers, which can sometimes be the case with non-certified blends.
Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory benefits extend beyond skin, helping with joint pain, digestion, and immunity. That makes this latte not just comforting, but also a daily ritual for total-body balance.
Vanilla–A New Treasure
In the spice world, few ingredients evoke as much luxury as fresh vanilla pods. And guess what? Finding those organically grown in Sri Lanka is rare. Yet Oma Ceylon does exactly that. Their hand-harvested vanilla pods are fragrant, plump, and free from synthetic processing. Whether used in cooking or infused into oils for skincare, these pods are a testament to the brand’s deep ties with local farmers and sustainable practices.
Much like turmeric, vanilla carries antioxidant properties and a delicate scent that’s known to both calm skin as well as your senses. Oma Ceylon uses this much-loved ingredient to connect wellness with indulgence, without compromising on quality.
The Truth Behind The Source
Did you know ‘natural’ doesn’t always mean safe? That’s why, where and how your spices are grown matters a lot! This is true especially when it comes to a spice like black pepper which is often the subject to tampering with in mass-market blends.
Oma Ceylon’s commitment to organic farming ensures that their black pepper is free from adulterants. It’s truly harvested with integrity. This transparency means you’re getting the full potency of the spice, and none of the risks. It’s especially important when you’re consuming it regularly and mixing it into skincare rituals, where the purity of the ingredient matters just as much as the results.
Oma Ceylon’s Mission
The brand is dedicated to reconnecting with the earth, and the ancient knowledge that tells us that healing comes from what’s grown, not what’s synthesized. From your morning turmeric latte to your evening skincare ritual, this brand invites you to rediscover wellness.
