In 1988, Hylunia Skin Care was launched to give the freedom of choice to people of all skin types and ages who want to prevent free radical damage to their skin and live a healthy and balanced life. Hylunia's core purpose is to benefit humanity. Below is the story of how this company that runs on altruistic principles was born

The year was 1987. A beautiful baby girl was born to a rocket scientist who came from a family of Ayurvedic doctors. Her doting parents found that their baby girl's skin was reacting badly to the standard baby skin care products in the market. Dr. Lingam and his wife searched for something gentler, safer, and non-irritating in the stores and pharmacies but to no avail. Of course, Dr. Lingam was not discouraged. Not only did he come from an illustrious line of Ayurvedic specialists, he was also part of an esteemed group of scientists, physicians and research chemists. Dr. Lingam sought the help of his friend, Brian Jegasothy, MD who was a part of this inner circle (and formerly Chairman, Department of Dermatology, University of Pittsburgh, USA). A research team headed by Dr. Jegasothy was soon formed to fulfill the quest for a skin care product that was non-irritating, non-inflammatory and gentle on a baby girl's infant skin. This research team had a combined experience of over 200 years and consisted of accomplished dermatologists, scientists and physicians.
