About ayurveda
In India, ancient healers perfected the art and science of natural beauty millennia ago. Ayurveda is the oldest continually practiced form of medicine – holistic or otherwise – in the world, originating over 5,000 years ago. As we are exposed to seemingly endless stress, toxins and chemicals in our contemporary lives, many of us are looking to ancient beauty therapies and Ayurvedic remedies to cope.
Ayurveda sets the highest standards for the concept of “natural” skincare. In classical Ayurveda, only food-grade ingredients are used in Ayurvedic skincare. This is because the skin “eats” anything applied to the skin, which gets absorbed directly into the bloodstream in a matter of seconds.
As holistic knowledge spreads, conscious consumers are increasingly seeking out natural beauty and body care products. This is what inspired me to create The wild turmeric plant-based, non-toxic, Ayurvedic skincare line – a mission to spread this ancient wisdom in our contemporary age.
