our ingredients
Wildcrafted & Organic Ingredients
At Shankara, we source our natural ingredients with the utmost care and responsibility. Our commitment to purity ensures that every formulation nurtures and restores balance to your skin, body, and mind.
Formulated for Results
Rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom, our skincare is designed to harmonize with your unique dosha or body-mind constitution. Each formulation is meticulously crafted to support the three Ayurvedic skin types:
- Vata (Dry Skin): Deeply nourishing and hydrating.
- Pitta (Normal, Combination, or Sensitive Skin): Cooling and soothing.
- Kapha (Oily Skin): Clarifying and balancing.
Our botanical blends feature the finest oils and herbs to promote skin vitality and renewal.
The Power of Oils
Each skin type requires specific oils to restore equilibrium:
- Vata (Dry Skin): We select deeply moisturizing oils such as sesame, avocado, macadamia nut, and hemp seed to replenish and fortify the skin’s barrier.
- Pitta (Normal, Combination, or Sensitive Skin): Medium-weight, cooling oils like sunflower, almond, and olive help maintain hydration without overheating the skin.
- Kapha (Oily Skin): Lightweight, fast-absorbing oils like grapeseed, hazelnut, and jojoba balance sebum production and promote a clear complexion.
The Wisdom of Herbs
Herbs play a vital role in restoring balance:
- Vata (Dry Skin): Regenerating and deeply hydrating herbs support youthful, supple skin.
- Pitta (Normal, Combination, or Sensitive Skin): Cooling and calming botanicals soothe and maintain skin’s equilibrium.
- Kapha (Oily Skin): Astringent and stimulating herbs encourage circulation and detoxification, reducing congestion and promoting clarity.
Our formulations are enriched with time-honored Ayurvedic herbs such as amla, ashwagandha, brahmi, and neem, which work synergistically to purify, repair, and rejuvenate the skin.
Skin-Transforming Actives & Antioxidants
To enhance skin vitality, our products are infused with clinically proven actives and antioxidants, including:

- Plant peptides
- Carotenes
- Stabilized Vitamin C Ester

High-Potency Essential Oils
Our synergistic essential oil blends, meticulously formulated at high concentrations, support physical, emotional, and mental well-being, ensuring a holistic approach to skincare.
Shankara’s Exclusive Anti-Aging Skin Restoration Complex
At the heart of our formulations lies the Regenesis-Energen BioComplex™, a revolutionary nutrient blend that accelerates skin renewal. This proprietary complex harnesses the power of plant and algae extracts, Ayurvedic herbs, amino acids, peptides, fulvic electrolytes, and monoatomic gold, rhodium, and iridium, creating a quantum effect in skin restoration and anti-aging.
What We Leave Out
Shankara is guided by the principle of ‘Do No Harm’. We are proud to be:
- pH-balanced
- 100% natural
- Chemical-free
- Cruelty-free
pH-Balanced for Skin Integrity
Every Shankara product is pH-balanced to align with your skin’s natural defenses. This protects the acid mantle, preserves the skin’s moisture barrier, and promotes optimal skin health.
Our philosophy is simple: Nourish, restore, and protect - never harm.
Pure, Natural Ingredients - No Compromise
What we apply to our skin is absorbed into the body. Conventional skincare, laden with synthetic chemicals, can burden the liver and disrupt natural detoxification.
Shankara’s formulations are free from harmful chemicals, offering you skincare that is as pure, potent, and healing as nature intended.
