Timeless Kumkumadi Oil
I am obsessed !
I have loved using this oil. In the few weeks of using it I have noticed my skin become smoother and brighter. It has faded breakout scars and my pigmentation has also faded nicely. I wake up with such happy skin!!

I have been searching for and trying natural skincare products for a while now.
Started using Shankara products about 4 weeks ago.
My ‘not so good’ skin peeled off revealed this new lighter, brighter and smooth skin! Even my dark circles around my eyes have gone a shade lighter! Amazing.
Great quality products, and best of all natural and no chemicals - love it. Defo won’t be using any other products now.

Timeless Kumkumadi Oil
A Little Goes a Long Way!
At first, the products left my skin feeling dry and tight, but I learned this was part of the detox process.
After giving my skin time to adjust and following a consistent routine, I noticed deep hydration, balance, and a radiant glow.
The soothing fragrance became a relaxing part of my evening ritual, and a little product goes a long way—three months in, and I still have plenty left! Now, Shankara’s skincare is a must-have for me - the results are amazing!

WHY SWITCH TO AYURVEDIC SKINCARE
Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old system of natural healing, offers a time-tested approach to skincare that goes beyond surface-level solutions.
Ayurvedic skincare offers a natural approach to beauty that aligns with your body’s unique needs. By using organic ingredients tailored to your skin’s dosha, Ayurvedic products provide nourishment without harsh chemicals. Over time, they work with your skin’s natural processes to promote radiance (Kumkumadi Oil) , reduce signs of aging, and address skin imbalances, leaving you with healthier, more vibrant skin. Here's why making the switch could revolutionise your skin health and overall well-being:
Unlike conventional skincare, which often focuses on treating symptoms like acne, dryness, or dullness, Ayurveda addresses the underlying causes of these issues. By understanding your body’s constitution (dosha) and imbalances, Ayurvedic skincare promotes harmony within the body, mind, and skin. This holistic approach leads to long-lasting results, offering solutions that benefit your overall wellness—not just your appearance.
What you put on your skin matters. Your skin may absorb up to 60% of what you apply, meaning harmful chemicals in conventional products can seep into your body. Ayurvedic skincare exclusively uses natural, plant-based ingredients like herbs, oils, and extracts that are free from toxins and chemicals. These ingredients work synergistically to nourish, repair, and rejuvenate the skin while being gentle on the planet and your health.
In Ayurveda, skincare is never "one size fits all." Instead, it’s deeply personalised. Your skin is influenced by your dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha), and imbalances in these energies manifest in different ways—such as sensitivity, oiliness, or uneven tone. Ayurvedic skincare products are designed to balance your dosha, providing solutions that cater to your specific skin type and concerns. This individualised care ensures your skin gets exactly what it needs to thrive. For now Shankara South Africa has brought in tri-dosha products - which means they suitable for all skin types. Our Kumkumadi Oil is a must for glowing skin.
Timeless Wisdom Meets Modern Beauty
Ayurveda blends ancient wisdom with modern efficacy, offering a skincare regimen that is both traditional and forward-thinking. Ingredients like Kumkumadi oil, turmeric, saffron and ghee have been used for centuries to maintain radiant, youthful skin. These timeless remedies are now crafted into luxurious products that fit seamlessly into modern lifestyles.
Sustainable and Ethical Choice
Switching to Ayurvedic skincare is also a commitment to sustainability and ethics. These products often prioritise eco-friendly practices, cruelty-free production, and biodegradable packaging. By choosing Ayurveda, you’re not just caring for your skin—you’re contributing to a healthier planet.
