Quench Bath & Body from Around the World founder and owner Shashi Srikantan has always been interested in natural beauty products. When she was a little girl, Shashi would spend hours in her parent's bathroom mixing up "beauty" concoctions. Once she made one of her creations by mixing baby powder and water. Luckily her mother walked in and explained to her that a mixture like that would not only clog her pores, but also potentially cause skin irritation! Her mother instead introduced her to a beauty remedy that Shashi's grandmother had shared with her as a young lady in India: a mixture of yogurt and ginger to soothe and cool her tender skin.

After this, Shashi began using her mother as a beauty resource, mixing up various herbs, spices, botanicals, and oils to apply to her skin and hair. It seemed that no matter the beauty issue, Shashi's mother had a unique and natural solution. These solutions were often borne out of the age-old beauty routines of women in her childhood home of India. This education fuelled Shashi's interest in the natural, culturally influenced, bath and body market, and was the driving force behind the founding of Quench.

Today, Shashi continues to build her company around the principles of all natural, chemical-free, and preservative-free bath and body. Particular attention is paid to sourcing renewable and responsibly harvested raw materials. Quench formulations are based on the recipes of the original cultures who have been using these "secrets" for centuries. It is Quench's mission to research and gather these "ancient" beauty "secrets" in order to introduce these tried and true "new" solutions to women all over the world.
