In the late 1990s, our wellness pioneers and skincare experts envisioned a line based on Ayurvedic botanicals blended with Western science. Shankara was born, crafted to offer a holistic skincare experience. Over the years, we grew from a small lab in Colorado to a globally respected brand, available in over 1000 prestigious destination spas like The Breakers, Canyon Ranch and The Ritz Carlton.
We conduct extensive research where teams of ayurvedic experts in the east come together with scientific experts in the west to create our product line. Every formulation is carefully crafted to balance the doshas, nourish the skin, and calm the mind. The result is a skincare system that goes beyond surface-level care, working at a cellular level to promote true transformation and holistic wellness.
Pure Ingredients, Advanced Formulas
Our formulations are built on a foundation of purity, using 100% active ingredients in every product. We avoid fillers, waxes, and unnecessary additives, focusing instead on ingredients that directly benefit the skin.
Our commitment to quality extends to the use of structured, energized water, a key element in our water-based formulations. This specialized water enhances hydration and bioavailability, allowing for deeper absorption of nutrients and promoting rejuvenation at a cellular level.
Our dedication to purity drives us to use natural alternatives like lecithin instead of synthetic emulsifiers, ensuring our products remain lightweight, breathable, and nourishing.
Lecithin, a nutrient-rich ingredient often found in chocolates, enhances absorption and allows the skin to breathe without sacrificing effectiveness. Unlike conventional skincare, which often relies on synthetic emulsifiers and carbomers, our formulations deliver real results without the heavy, occlusive feel of waxes or synthetic agents. This unwavering dedication to quality and clean ingredients has earned Shankara a trusted reputation in the beauty industry, with products free from harmful substances that could compromise skin health.
