Behind the CA brand
SETTING THE BAR FOR CERTIFIED ORGANIC SKINCARE IN AUSTRALIA, CHRISTIAN ACUÑA’S MISSION IS TO SEEK OUT THE FINEST ETHICALLY AND SUSTAINABLY SOURCED NATURAL INGREDIENTS AUSTRALIA HAS TO OFFER.
Christian is a botanical and marine-based skincare pioneer inspired by the traditional natural knowledge that has been in use by Australia’s indigenous peoples for millennia. He is a green advocate, practicing existential psychotherapist and animal rights champion who donates a percentage of all his sales to environmental causes.
With his roots in The Basque Country, Spain, Christian has pursued his goals in skin therapy and cosmetology internationally, working and living in Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, and London before settling Sydney in 1998 to begin his Australian research.
Over two decades of skincare expertise and study give Christian uncommon insight into skin replenishment therapy and treatment. His background as an existential psychotherapist feeds a holistic perspective which has driven him to create products that reconnect people to the natural world through healthy lifestyle and grooming routines.
Both an artisan and an alchemist, Christian has created acclaimed naturopathic formulations that leverage nature on a molecular level to promote healthy skin and boost youthful vitality.
For Christian, home is east of Sydney where he can collaborate closely with his development team, nurture his practice in psychotherapy, and spoil his two dogs. He continues to travel the world, seeking out new ingredients to make his super-formulations even more effective.
