Our popular facial elixir in a mini bottle. Practical for on the go or to get to know the elixir before you buy the larger bottle.
1300 years ago, Ayurvedic masters in India experimented with herbs that help regenerate the skin. They developed a recipe that was very effective: medicinal herbs such as saffron flowers, blue lotus, vetiver, red sandalwood and 22 other rare ingredients were boiled in sesame oil and distilled to produce an elixir. The users liked it so much that they believed that the two Ayurvedic gods Nasatya and Dasara had brought the divine elixir to the people.
The main ingredient of this potent elixir is saffron, which is said to have the ability to change skin tone and complexion. Floral elements like lotus pollen and neelkamal (blue lotus) add important herbal actives. Cooling and soothing ingredients like lal chandan (red sandalwood), khus (vetiver) and bael fruit help your skin fight pollution. The essence of plants like java fig, mahua and licorice treats superficial problems like discoloration and age spots. The formulation is mentioned in the ancient Ayurvedic texts like Ashtanga Hridayam and Bhaisajya Ratnavalli around 700 AD.
This rare formula, passed down through generations, is a natural and effective way to keep your facial skin healthy and radiant. The elixir works best when used in the evening before going to bed. Add a few drops to your palm and warm the oil by rubbing your palms together. Massage gently onto your face and neck. You can leave it on overnight or take your face off after 2 hours. The scent takes some getting used to as it is completely natural and odorless. After 30 days of regular use, you will notice the improvements on your face.
The elixir is produced in the traditional way by our partner in India and bottled in an integrative workshop in Gütersloh. A great team of women led by Karin & Hedwig take care of the bottling and packaging with great care.
