A letter from our founders

We’ve always believed that the little things we do every day — our rituals — shape how we live and how we feel. It’s in the quiet pauses, the warmth of a hand against skin, the simple act of tending to ourselves, that a deeper kind of wellbeing begins.

As friends moving through the beautiful chaos of raising young families, our days are full, fast, and overflowing. Stealing even a few moments for ourselves can feel like a rare luxury. We wanted to create something that helps you slow the world for a breath — to remind you to pause, soften, and savor the feeling of being in your own body. To find beauty not in perfection, but in presence.

La Riviera was born from that longing. From the desire to bring a touch of Mediterranean ease into the busiest hours — a softness, a sensuality, a return to yourself. The warmth of oil on skin, the glide of a palm, the quiet pleasure of caring for your own body: these are the moments that inspired us.

Every drop is meant to carry you there — to sunlit coastlines, gentle breezes, and the subtle luxury of feeling fully alive in your own skin.

With love and oil,

Nicole & Brad
