Louisa Canham – La Eva

Louisa Canham is the founder of the organic beauty brand LA-EVA. Specialized in mental health at Oxford, Louisa worked with young people with a broad range of complex mental health problems for over a decade. At some stage during this time, she discovered the art of making traditional cold process soap. In 2017, LA EVA began taking form.

LA-EVA's soaps are made from natural ingredients, including essential oils and butters. La Eva Produces gold standard ethical products, including certified organic and vegan skincare and cruelty-free hair care. La Eva is built around the idea of that “we live life through our senses” and that what we see, touch and smell affect how we feel. Inspired also by the idea of synaesthesia (which means “sensation”), LA EVA collaborated with Petersham Nurseries to create a limited-edition range with a unique aesthetic that captures and celebrates the essence of the Nurseries.
