Our Story

Beauty, brewed by time

A Taiwan premium brand, born in the fermentation halls of a century-old brewery.

The Brand Story

Born of the Wine Star, brewed by time

An ancient legend tells of the Wine Star — the celestial deity who first brewed the Water of Life, the very essence of wine. VINATA, from the Italian word for wine, carries that legend into skincare: where the patience of the brewer becomes the secret of the skin.

ε

Epsilon

The first star of the Wine Star constellation — the spark of creation.

Sinuo

The flowing second star — time moving like wine, unhurried and patient.

ψ

Psi

The third star — a chalice raised, holding the Water of Life.

The three shining stars of the Wine Star constellation — ε, ∽ and ψ — form the VINATA emblem.

Behind the legend stands TTL, Taiwan's century-old brewing house. From its own research institute and generations of koji and yeast fermentation mastery come VINATA's youth-complex repair factors. Time is the most precious ingredient in winemaking — VINATA brews it into the secret of ageless skin, accompanying your lifelong journey to beauty.

The House

The house behind VINATA

In the heart of Taipei stands the historic headquarters of TTL — Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Corporation, the island's great brewing house. From the Monopoly Bureau era of 1901 to today, its cellars and fermentation halls have carried Taiwan's craft of sake, wine and spirits across a century.

VINATA is born inside this house. Its dedicated biotech research institute, founded in 2005, translates generations of yeast and koji mastery into skincare actives — brewed, refined and perfected under one roof in Taiwan.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Do VINATA products contain alcohol?

No — VINATA products are completely alcohol-free. Although our signature actives are born from sake brewing, the sake lees extract is refined so that no alcohol remains in the finished formula. You receive the amino acids, peptides and vitamins of fermentation without any alcohol — gentle even on sensitive skin.

What is sake lees (sake kasu) skincare?

Sake lees — sake kasu — is the nutrient-rich residue left after brewing sake. Yeast fermentation makes it naturally rich in amino acids, peptides, vitamins and trace minerals, which help hydrate the skin, strengthen the barrier and brighten uneven tone.

What makes VINATA's fermentation actives unique?

Every VINATA formula is built on TTL's patented Sake Lees Yeast Extract, drawn from TTL's premium brewing processes. Three signature actives — Yeast Vitality Essence, Red Wine Polyphenols and Rice Phytosterol — are developed by TTL's own research institute and registered in the international INCI nomenclature.
