THE ART OF MAKING
Centuries of tradition, handcrafted with love
Shankara's Hydrating Cleanser is blended in small batches in the USA, guided by Ayurvedic wisdom for Vata and Pitta skin. Soothing botanicals, chamomile, calendula, and ashwagandha, are folded into a silky base of aloe vera and sandalwood, with the aloe's inner gel carefully cold-processed to preserve its calming actives. Each element is chosen to cleanse gently while honoring the skin's natural moisture barrier, in the unhurried Ayurvedic way.
