Carla Riva is more than just a name—it’s a legacy of natural healing and deep-rooted wisdom. Inspired by my mother, Carla, and my grandmother’s maiden name, Riva (Rosa Riva), our brand carries forward generations of herbal knowledge and respect for nature.
Originating in the lush fields of Italy, my mother and grandmother instinctively understood the therapeutic properties of wildflowers and herbs, using them to heal and nurture. This tradition continues today in Australia, where my mother still practices these time-honoured remedies.
At Carla Riva, we embrace their strength, knowledge, and reverence for the environment, crafting products that honour nature’s healing power.
Natural. Time-Honoured. Sustainable.
At Carla Riva, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. After witnessing the overwhelming waste in the beauty industry—especially from single-use plastic jars and water-heavy formulations—we knew there had to be a better way.
Our mission is to create high-performance, eco-friendly skincare that minimises waste, conserves resources, and promotes a circular,sustainable beauty system. Every decision we make reflects our respect for the environment and our commitment to your skin’s long-term health.
Join us in redefining beauty with sustainability at its core—because skincare should care, for you and the planet.
We choose recycled, recyclable, reusable materials wherever possible, with a particular focus on reducing our reliance on single-use plastic. Our aluminium packaging is durable, refillable and highly recyclable, allowing valuable materials to stay in circulation rather than becoming waste.
We are proud to focus on waterless skincare, formulating products without unnecessary water to reduce environmental impact and deliver more concentrated, skin-loving ingredients.
Our formulas feature sustainable, non-depleting botanicals that are gentle on the skin and responsibly sourced, supporting both skin health and the planet.
We believe that effective, luxury skincare can also be sustainable. Through conscious choices, we aim to inspire both consumers and brands to embrace a more eco-aware approach to beauty.
