Local Love at ILA + AVA

It was all about luxe local love when ILA + AVA founder Miriam Drescher celebrated five years of organic skincare. Deb Caruso shared in the celebrations. 

Lovers of organic and vegan skincare brand ILA + AVA gathered to celebrate five years of beautiful skincare designed and developed by owner and beauty alchemist Miriam Drescher.

A doctor of Chinese medicine, Miriam has travelled the world and furthered her studies to deliver the eco-luxe range, which utilises powerful science-backed plant botanicals like oils of jojoba, argan and rosehip and high grade organic extracts and essential oils. 

With ILA meaning ‘the earth’ in Sanskrit (Indian) and AVA meaning ‘the living one’ in Latin, the products are designed to rebalance, restore and repair the skin. The products really work and are suited for all skin types. 

Understanding the holistic foundation of natural beauty and wellness continues to be a huge focus and passion for Miriam and has rightfully earnt her a loyal following of fans. 

Peregian Beach Hotel’s stunning il Porto Bar was the perfect place for the celebrations which included a specially-designed cocktail and bespoke plant-based menu. Congratulations!
