The Philosophy Behind Ayurda Skincare

Built upon the principles of Ayurveda, the Ayurda brand understands and embraces the uniqueness of each individual. Our products and treatments are meticulously crafted using only natural plant and mineral ingredients, skillfully blended to nourish the specific needs of every person. With a focus on restoring the body's natural balance, Ayurda products actively assist in eliminating toxins and promoting tissue rejuvenation.

Drawing from the wisdom of Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old "science of life," Ayurda Skincare recognises that true health and beauty are achieved by comprehending and harmonising our distinct bodily constitutions. Ayurvedic beauty transcends surface-level concerns, encompassing a holistic approach to well-being that enables us to feel good, age gracefully, and lead more fulfilling lives.

The Birth of Ayurda Skincare

Inspired by the natural beauty rituals of her mother and older female relatives, our founder, Rippan Sandhu, embarked on a journey to create Ayurda (pronounced 'I–urr–da'). This Sanskrit name derives from the powerful Indian Goddess "Durga," symbolising the bestower of longevity. Ayurda represents a premium skincare range that embraces a holistic philosophy of beauty, harnessing the wisdom of Ayurveda to honor the uniqueness of every individual. We understand that what works for one person may not necessarily work for another.

Our philosophy

At Ayurda, our custom approach is rooted in an understanding of your specific needs, enabling you to achieve healthy, glowing skin. Our products embody a natural energy, purity, and integrity derived not only from how they are made but also from where and by whom. We remain committed to offering Ayurvedic skincare products that are safe, natural, and untouched by chemicals. The purity of our ingredients is paramount, and whenever possible, we source organic materials. Following the Ayurvedic principle that nothing should be applied to the skin if it cannot be ingested internally, we prioritise quality and ensure our products meet the highest standards.

We adhere to traditional, time-honored cultivation methods that respect the energy of the region in which the plants are grown and consider how the lifestyle of the local communities impacts their growth. By fostering direct, fair relationships with farmers and growers, we support those from remote communities who often preserve ancient techniques and maintain harmonious connections with Mother Nature.

Although beauty is not the central theme of Ayurvedic literature, ancient Ayurvedic sources do help shed light on the subject. Beauty in Ayurveda is not viewed as an external trait and is instead a component of physical, mental, and spiritual health.

Ayurvedic beauty is considered as the reflection of our inner health and the skin to be the mirror to our internal balance or imbalance. 

Ayurda Skincare embraces the profound philosophy, values, and core principles of beauty derived from Ayurveda.  Our holistic skincare range not only offers naturally potent solutions for your skin but also encourages you to rediscover your inner self and incorporate transformative practices that bring about positive changes in both your inner and outer worlds. By aligning your inner and outer well-being, you can experience a profound sense of self, leaving you feeling harmoniously radiant from the inside out.

Through the modern-day application of ancient Ayurvedic wisdom and principles, Ayurda can help you to live a busy active life, to feel good and to age well.
