We formulate Ayurvedic elements in our skincare because our aim is to create powerfully natural, clean products that are safe to your skin & celebrate all that nature has to offer. Ayurvedic ingredients also stand the test of time, with proven results that have been used for thousands of years.

We truly care about nature and believe in its power. Many companies that avoid natural ingredients and pack their skincare with synthetics, do not care about their customers ethos and the long-term effects these nasties have on their skin. In fact, if a skincare brand doesn’t use all-natural and Ayurvedic ingredients, they most likely use toxic ingredients that have many side effects such as:

But if you’re wondering, “Do Ayurvedic ingredients really work?”

Herbal Essential takes the guesswork out of trying all-natural Ayurvedic skincare. In fact, their skincare line has been tested by consumer & clinically proven to give you naturally incredible skin. However, it’s important to understand Ayurveda, its origins, and the herbs that are commonly used in this ancient medicinal practice.

Ayurveda is an ancient medicinal system that dates back to 5,000 years ago and it was first recorded in the ancient Indian language, Sanskrit.

And Ayurveda believes in treating the body as a whole including the mind, body, and spirit. It works to prevent illness and disease rather than treat it. 

One important aspect of Ayurveda is the use of herbs. Ayurvedic herbs have a myriad of benefits. Here are some unmissable benefits:

• Aloe vera: Calms and moisturizes your skin

• Arnica extract: Visibly reduces dark circles/age spots

• Ginger: Clarifies and tones your skin

• Honey: Balances your complexion

• Kaolin clay: Cleanses and exfoliates your skin

• Neem: Contains antibacterial and antiseptic properties 

• Liquorice root: Prevents oxidative stress

• Papaya extract: Removes dead skin cells and brightens your skin

• Peppermint oil: Controls excess sebum

• Rosewater: Hydrates and moisturizes your skin

• Rosehip oil: Calms and conditions your skin
