Our Story

LILVAA began with one bottle, made at a kitchen table in Ontario, for a friend who had tried everything.

I'm Lila Vaziri. Years of clinic-strength actives had left my skin thinner and angrier than when I started, and the thing that finally calmed it wasn't complicated. It was rosehip oil — cold-pressed, unblended, nothing added to make it smell like something it isn't.

So I learned to make it properly. I sourced fruit from growers who could tell me the harvest date. I pressed small batches and gave them away, and people kept asking for more. That's the whole origin: not a laboratory, not a launch plan, just a bottle that worked and word getting round.

What we won't do

We don't blend our rosehip with cheaper carrier oils to stretch a batch. We don't add fragrance to cover the scent of real botanical oil. And we don't sell you a five-step routine when one honest step will do — a full LILVAA regimen is one bottle, because that's all we make.

Made here, in small batches

Every bottle is pressed, filled and labelled in Canada, in quantities small enough that we notice if something is off. It costs more to work this way. We think you can tell.
