Our Founder
Prashanti Lyree is one of those rare and beautiful individuals who manages to combine logic and pragmatism with inspired intuition and heart-led creativity. She is a researcher, scientist, explorer, trained professional and spirited individual with a wholehearted mission to bring you nature’s most precious and powerful gifts.
We hear a lot about how creators choose their suppliers with great care. For Prashanti, this has been a lifelong journey, collecting a family of growers and distillers as she travelled the planet in search of people who made working with essential oils their life’s mission.
Her connection with her suppliers runs deep, blossoming into treasured friendships built on a shared passion to harness the incredible healing power of nature and at the same time conserve, protect and nurture the source.
Her advocacy for nature and passion for plants led her to join the Airmid Institute, where, as an Airmid Ambassador, she is diligently working to persuade other creators and manufacturers to move away from endangered and threatened species so that these plants can regenerate, flourish and support humanity for generations to come.
Prashanti holds a Diploma of Clinical Aromatherapy & Aromatic Medicine, a Diploma of Cosmetic Chemistry & Personal Care Science, a Diploma of Massage & has trained extensively with the her beloved Swamis in Classical Yoga and has travelled globally to complete Advanced Clinical Aromatherapy programs. With a deep connection to nature and an instinctive, intuitive approach to blending, Prashanti transforms the ingredients she works with into powerfully regenerative, nutrient-rich and exquisite formulations.
A highly regarded formulator, Prashanti has created signature products for luxury spas and product brands, both in Australia and internationally. With Cura Co.Lab, she is expanding her reach to bring eco-conscious, ethical and nutrient-dense products to individuals who welcome a good dose of love and integrity in their bottles.
“Cura Co.Lab is a natural expression of who I am, what I believe and what I want to bring forth. Fascinated by the unique chemistry behind every plant and frustrated by the waste that the beauty industry creates, my dream is to help connect people to what’s behind every bottle.”
