Who it is for

• All skin types
• Skin that feels tight, dull, or congested after cleansing

What it is

A light, refreshing toner designed to rebalance skin after cleansing. It hydrates, softens, and prepares the skin to absorb your moisturiser more effectively without heaviness or sting.

Why it works

Even with a gentle cleanser, cleansing and rinsing temporarily shifts your skin’s surface. It’s not damaged, it’s just not yet settled. This toner is the return-to-balance step.

Rose rehydrates and softens. Basil brings clarity and calm. Haritaki, Turmeric, and Neem support resilience without stripping. The result? Skin feels comfortable, balanced, and ready for what comes next. Moisturisers absorb more evenly and your skin feels like itself again.

For men, this same formula works exceptionally well after shaving. No alcohol. No sting. Just cool, calming comfort that helps skin settle fast.

Key Benefits

Created for that post-cleanse moment when skin feels a little tight, flat, or unsettled, and you want comfort and balance before you moisturise. With regular use, you may notice:

• Restored hydration and comfort after cleansing
• Calms tight, unsettled, or reactive-feeling skin
• Supports clearer-looking skin without stripping or drying
• Helps serums and moisturisers absorb more evenly
• 100% natural, alcohol-free, no synthetic fragrance

How to Use

After cleansing, spray a fine mist onto the face and neck, and allow it to absorb naturally. Use morning and evening. For extra cooling, store in the fridge and apply as a calming compress with a soaked cotton pad.

The story behind this

This is the step that makes the rest of your routine feel more premium - not because it’s “extra,” but because it respects how skin actually behaves. In Ayurveda, it’s the preparation before the treatment (Lepa Pūrva Karma): a fine mist, a short pause, and skin that feels calm, balanced, and quietly clear.

Most toners are designed to be wiped off. Apply. Wipe. Discard. The assumption is that skin needs to be stripped bare before it can receive anything good.

Ayurveda sees it differently. In traditional practice, herbal waters are meant to be left on the skin - absorbed, not removed - because skin doesn’t need to be emptied to be ready. It needs to be met: with softness, with nourishment, with something that stays.

That’s the principle behind this toner. It isn’t the step before care. It’s care - the moment your skin settles, so everything you apply next can land better.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Ayurveda is the ancient healthcare system of India. It is a Sanskrit word - Ayur means 'life' or 'daily living' and Veda means 'science'. Ayurveda then is the name given to the scientific study of life, based on the eternal principle that everyone should live in a healthy & balanced state.

The ingredients used in Ayurda products are 'Wild Crafted' in the Himalayas. A harvesting technique is used where the fruit or plant part is gathered from its natural wild habitat and handpicked according to ancient techniques.

Wild Crafted is usually organic but not certified, normally because there is no certifying agency in the area where it is grown. Wild Crafted herbs are grown wild, without the use of fertilizers or pesticides. They are grown naturally in areas where the plants are native to the region.

Yes. Ayurda products are manufactured in GMP (Goods and Manufacturing Practice) registered companies. This is an internationally recognized standard for quality assurance and ethical production. These established companies (one hundred years old) are leaders in the field of Ayurveda with highly trained Ayurvedic doctors and pharmacologists working hard to produce high quality, result orientated products. We have used Palm kernel oil in some of our products which is sourced from sustainable and ethical plantations. No animal habitat is disturbed or harmed.

Yes. Ayurda products are made in India and the natural ingredients remain stable in any natural environment.

Yes! we understand emulsifiers are needed but we only use the best and the safest. To make a cream or lotion, it is necessary to use an Emulsifier. The best ones are derived from coconut or palm kernel oil. They are safe to work with and are even used in the food industry, often used as emulsifiers in the production of vegan ice creams. Unfortunately for vegans and vegetarians, most commercially used Emulsifiers which are not vegetable based are produced from pig fats, which will be absorbed from these cosmetics. Our palm kernel oils are ethically sourced and come from sustainable or fair trade plantations and no animal habitat has been harmed.

No. We use Areetha, Shikakai and the Indian Soap Nut as natural foaming agents.

Toners are an important part of your skin care regime. They help to balance the skin and also work as a transporter for whatever is applied over the top e.g. your moisturiser will be able to penetrate the superficial layer of the skin and work at a deeper level. Ayurda toners contain natural fragrances of flower and herb extracts that help calm the nerves and induce relaxation. They are easy to use and are applied in a spray mist.

When using products containing essential oils, reactivity is more likely to happen as the essences are concentrated. With Ayurda, there are no extracted essences. Instead the raw herbs are used in the production process so they are not as volatile and the skin absorbs them more gently and less reactively.

Ayurda products contain natural preservatives such as oils, beeswax, carrot seed extract and grapefruit seed extract.

Yes. The range has been developed by Dr.Ajit and Rippan Sandhu. Ayurda is the only Ayurvedic range in Australasia backed by a qualified Ayurvedic Doctor.

The shelf life is 12 months after opening, but can last anywhere up to 24 months.
