In Ayurveda, the skin is not just seen as a surface to be soothed, but as a mirror of inner Dhatus, a messenger of Balance or Vikriti. It speaks in silence—through dryness, through radiance, through inflammation, through time. And when it speaks, it deserves more than a product. It deserves a response woven from understanding.

This is the philosophy behind truly personalised Ayurvedic creams that are not just generic solutions. They are living formulations, crafted with Manasa (intention) and guided by the time-honoured science of herbal intelligence amalgamated with advanced actives.

Each ingredient isn’t just chosen for effect—but for its Guna (quality), Prabhava (unique potency), and its alignment with your Dosha, your season, and your skin’s story.

Let’s explore the five foundational herb classes that bring life and soul to your personal formula—and why they make it utterly unique.

  • Twachya – The Skin Nourishing herbs

Tvachya herbs are the baseline of skincare and beauty in Ayurevda as they nourish the skin from the inside out, rebuilding softness, hydration, and strength. Herbs like Licorice, Aloe Vera, Neem, and Shatavari—each selected based on your skin’s dryness, sensitivity, or oil imbalance.

In a personalised cream: Twachya herbs become the nurturing layer, often forming the base of your formula. They’re what make your skin feel fed, not just coated.

  • Varnya – The Radiance Enhancing herbs

This is where your glow is born. Varnya herbs—like Manjistha, Lodhra, Sandalwood, and Vetiver—are classical Ayurvedic botanicals known to improve healthy glow, clarity, and skin tone.

In a personalised cream: If your concerns include dullness, tanning, or pigmentation, Varnya herbs are added as botanical boosters that work synergistically with natural humectants. They don’t lighten your skin—they reveal its natural luminosity.

  • Shothahara – The Anti-inflammatory herbs

For anyone whose skin flares up—acne, redness, sensitivity—Shothahara herbs are your silent healers. With Turmeric, Punarnava, and Chandan, this category is your internal fire or heat soothers.

In a personalised cream: These herbs are microdosed for potency, calming inflammation without stripping the skin. Ideal for Pitta-aggravated skin or those exposed to pollution and heat.

  • Vayasthapana – The Age Gracefully Actives

Not just anti-aging—pro-vitality. Vayasthapana herbs like Ashwagandha, Amalaki, Brahmi, and Shankh Pushpi are cellular healers. They defend your collagen, slow cellular breakdown, and improve elasticity from the Dhatu level.

In a personalised cream: Often part of your night-time formulation, these are blended into lipid-based bases or adaptogenic serums, working while you rest—restoring firmness, balance, and resilience.

  • Tvagrasayana – The Skin Longevity herbs

This is the secret to long-term skin health. Tvagrasayana herbs don’t just treat concerns—they build the future of your skin. Haritaki, Guduchi, and Amalaki are potent detoxifying and renewing herbs, ideal for urban lifestyles.

In a personalised cream: These herbs are combined with modern peptides or ceramides to create formulas that strengthen your skin barrier, tone, and firm the skin.

In a world where most creams are made for everyone, Ayurvedic personalised creams are made for only one: you. By analysing your dosha, skin type, climate, age, and even emotional state, our formulator is able to blend these five categories in exact proportion.

Your skin may need more Twachya in winter, or extra Shothahara after a breakout. Maybe Varnya takes center stage after sun exposure. And Vayasthapana? That becomes a lifelong companion.

Hence each personalised cream becomes a living formula—deeply Ayurvedic, lovingly modern, and profoundly personal.
