Origin of the Name
Zenova · The Gateway to Skin Wisdom
Zenova is our reflection — and our answer — to the essence of skin.
The name “玄門” (Xuan Men) originates from the Tao Te Ching “Mystery upon mystery, the gateway to all wonders.” represents the unfathomable mysteries. symbolizes the entrance to truth. In the world of skin, every concern — acne, keratosis, dryness, or sensitivity — is a doorway. They may seem like obstacles, but in truth, they remind us that the mysteries of skin await exploration and understanding.
Yet a door cannot be opened without a key. That key is what Zenova provides. Each product is a key — science in form, herbal extracts in essence — crafted to fit the lock of each skin concern. When the key turns, the door opens, the troubles dissolve, and the skin returns to clarity and radiance.
But there is also the Dao (道), the foundation connecting both. Without the Dao, the door is but a cold barrier, and the key, a tool without purpose. The Dao symbolizes the wisdom of Eastern philosophy, emphasizing balance and harmony with nature. At Zenova, the Dao is our methodology — the principle guiding the union of philosophy and science. It gives meaning to the door and direction to the key.
The name ZENOVA carries this vision: evokes tranquility, simplicity, and harmony with nature. signifies the brilliance of a new star and the spark of renewal. When the wisdom of Zen meets the radiance of Nova, Zenova becomes a journey — from the mysterious gateway, through the Dao, unlocking with the keys, arriving at the true balance and freedom of the skin.
