JUARA Story
A mission to empower women to champion their natural beauty, infusing beauty ritual in the process of experiencing the joy of self-care.
Jamu is an indigenous 2000 year old Indonesian wellness tradition that believes feeling good and being connected to our community is foundational to our wellbeing. We believe in the pursuit of wellness with the mindset of joy, to have a life well lived rooted in herbal healing rituals that respects our environment, ourselves, and our loved ones.
Which means “Well Wishes” in Javanese. People traditionally drink or serve jamu with blessings of good health and positive intentions of wellness.
- No One Ever
Metta Murdaya is from Indonesia and has grown up in Jakarta, San Francisco, and NYC. As a global citizen, she has experienced burnout from living a high-achievement lifestyle in her youth, which propelled her to start a skincare line based on her heritage of self-care and holistic healing. She believed that finding ways to stay balanced and happy is a better life approach to maintaining physical and mental health than waiting until total overwhelm, and found a simple way to do that in her backyard - in the Indonesian tradition of Jamu. And with close friends Yoshiko Roth-Hidalgo and Jill Sung, JUARA was born.
JUARA started as an exploration of three friends in a small apartment in NYC, trying to find a way to feel better in our everyday lives, and is now a brand carried internationally
A wellness speaker, Jamu educator, and the author of "Jamu Lifestyle," Metta is passionate about taking her heritage and sharing its enjoyable-yet-effective health tradition with the world.
A nutrition specialist and a lifelong product junkie, Yoshiko's passion for creating healthy, effective skincare stemmed from her father, a chemist. She believes enjoyability is as important as effectiveness in all formulations.
A Harvard educated doctor practicing clean eating, Jill's western science background has been the Yang to Metta's expertise in Indonesian ingredients.
