The beauty and wellness space is ever-evolving, where we keep learning and unlearning things that are good for us and our bodies. And as we learn that beauty transcends mere aesthetics, we delve deep into the realms of holistic skin and self care. Holistic wellness focuses on encouraging positive change to improve skin from the inside out. The approach teaches us that our skin isn’t an isolated entity but intricately connected to the overall health of our body.
Shankara is one to take holistic wellness very seriously. Their skilled artisans who are also devoted meditators chant Vedic mantras during the emulsion making process to uplift the power of the sacred blends of their essences. The 100% natural and result oriented products are also pH balanced and cater to all the different Doshas of the day. Shankara has been delivering result-oriented products that infuse the Ayurvedic wisdom of the East with the knowledge of actives and modern processes of the West to promote wellness and sustainable skincare since 2001.
