Sina's Beauty

Long ago, in the islands of Samoa, there lived a girl named Sina, whose beauty was unlike any other. Her skin glowed like the moonlight on the ocean, her hair flowed like silk spun from the stars, and her presence carried a scent so soothing that the winds themselves seemed to linger around her. People whispered that she was not like other women, for no years touched her, no sun weathered her, and no time seemed to fade her glow.

Far across the sea, in the islands of Fiji, a great king heard of Sina’s beauty. He was a man of power, of wisdom, and of Mana—the life force that ran through all things. Captivated by the thought of her, he called upon his Mana and transformed himself into an eel, a creature that could slip through the waters unseen, watching her beauty for as long as his days would allow.

As an eel, he swam across the vast ocean and found her in Samoa. But when he laid eyes upon her, he was not only mesmerized—he was enamoured. For years, he stayed by her side, no longer a king, but a silent companion in the rivers and seas. Sina, seeing no harm in his presence, let him be. She even spoke to him at times, laughing as he swam with her, the two becoming friends.

But as the years passed, the eel aged, his strength fading. His once-glossy skin dulled, his movements slowed. Yet Sina remained unchanged, untouched by time, her beauty seemingly as endless as the tides. And so, with his last breath, the eel whispered to her, “Your beauty is a gift to this world, and I would never see it fade. May the world remember you, Sina of Samoa, and through the magic of this tree, bless you forevermore.”

It is said that from where the eel took his final rest, the first great coconut tree grew, its fruit carrying an incredible essence that granted Sina endless, everlasting beauty.

Sina, touched by her eel companion's sentiment, began to bathe in the milk of the coconut, letting its essence soak into her skin. She washed herself with coconut soap, the lather perfumed with the sweet fragrance of the island’s most sacred fruit. She drank from its waters, hydrating herself with the purest gift of nature, granted by the great king.

Some say that The Umberglow Atelier's artisans have discovered and captured Sina’s secret in a single creation—Sina’s Beauty, an aromatherapy soap bar infused with the mystical essence of the coconut. Its scent soothes the soul, its lather nourishes the skin, and those who bathe in its glow may yet feel the same timeless beauty that once graced Sina, the girl whose legend still dances upon the Samoan breeze.
