Our Story

It started in
our kitchen.

During a winter that changed everything — and reminded us what care really means.

The Margulis family — founders of Rivahna, handmade Canadian spa care

The beginning

A winter that
changed everything.

When our father, Alex, became ill, life stopped. Plans, routines — gone. What replaced it was something quieter and more powerful: our family, together, focused on healing.

During his recovery, he began blending simple, natural ingredients by hand.

One cold evening, he made a soothing mask for our cracked, winter-worn skin. It was calming. Gentle. It felt like care in its purest form.

Today, every Rivahna product is still handmade by our family — in small batches, right here in Canada. Because we believe self-care isn't vanity. It's healing.

— Alex, Alina & Betty Margulis

Our father Alex's gift to us was not a product — it was a formula for care. His recipes, born in recovery, are the quiet heart of everything we make.
