About May 2018
Who Are We?
Damiva was founded by two people — Chia Chia Sun, CEO, and Gardiner Smith, President — who have a lot in common. They're partners who are pharmaceutical business executives and share a passion for making healthy products for women's health.
Damiva is a women's health company making 100% natural products for a women. Damiva started when Chia Chia Sun was shocked to discover that the women's products on the drugstore shelf contained so many chemicals.
When she found out that 85% of women in menopause have vaginal dryness and that the dryness worsens over time, her obvious question was:
"What would I use for the next 30 years?"
She wanted a product that was safe, chemical free and hormone free, and when she realized that no such product existed, Chia Chia and Gardiner decided they would remedy the situation. Now it's become their shared passion and making healthy, 100% natural products for women's health and beauty at any age.
We believe in making products that are completely natural
That means no faux natural and that also means products that are manufactured to the highest pharmaceutical standards. We test every batch lot for pathogens and routinely audit our suppliers for ethical and sustainable practices.
