Company History

Ours is a story that began in 1938. Inspired by beauty treatments that women in the exotic east used to pamper themselves and retain younger looking healthy skin, we created our very own soap for discerning women in Sri Lanka.

Initially our soap was developed under the quality certification of the Coconut Research Scheme. Over time we grew our repertoire and transformed into a public quoted company. Our first products were based on two age-old ayurvedic ingredients, namely aromatic sandalwood and mysterious margosa. In 1941, we made waves in the local market with our pioneering effort of

Rani Sandalwood – beauty therapy soap and Khomba Margosa – ayurvedic herbal soap.

Proud to be Sri Lankan and proud of our rich herbal ayurvedic heritage, we focus on personal care products that offered safe and gentle care using hand picked ingredients from nature. Based on this philosophy we grew to what we are today- a multi billion dollar company with many firsts to our credit in the industry.

People, Nature & Traditions

At Swadeshi we believe that our “People, Nature & Traditions” should be recognized and protected to the best of our ability.

In order to re-kindle the spirit that’s inherently Lankan with its multitude of traditional values, we, the staff of Swadeshi play an integral role in several annual ceremonies including the illuminating ceremony at the historic Kelani Rajamahaviharaya, religious activities at the Katharagama Kiri Wehera temple, the Katharagama shrine, the Rathnapura Saman shrine, Devundara Sri Vishnu shrine and the Dambadeniya Rajamahaviharaya.

We truly believe that corporate activities such as these are vital for the instilling of our values and ensuring they are kept alive in the hearts and minds of future generations.

As part of our social responsibility activities we reach out to the children of our nation in many different ways. We provide well organized regional baby care programmes, pregnancy care etc. through the Khomba Baby brand.

In addition we contribute significantly towards the protection of the environment and nature through beauty and health care programmes as activations.
