From the very start

Our journey began—before the formulas, before the packaging—around a kitchen counter, driven by a mother’s commitment to real nourishment.

Dara & Ella Story

Designed by Nature began when founder Dara was searching for a more natural nutritional option to support her daughter Ella’s early development. As an infant, Ella experienced recurring skin sensitivities, including rashes and eczema-type flare-ups. After trying conventional products, Dara realized she couldn’t find a formula with simple, minimally processed ingredients that aligned with their values and needs.

So she took matters into her own hands.

A big purpose

What started as a solution for one child has grown into a trusted choice for many.

A Mother’s Dedication

What began as small-batch, whole-food blends made in her home kitchen evolved into a deeper exploration of traditional nutrition principles, ethical sourcing, and natural ingredients that work with the body—not against it.

Driven by purpose (and a mother’s intuition), Dara transformed that personal journey into a mission to help families everywhere access cleaner options rooted in transparency, real food, and conscious formulation.

Today,

From that single act of care grew a mission to bring cleaner, real-food options to families everywhere—now supported by ethical farms, thoughtful formulators, and partners who share the same values.
