Key Benefits

Crafted for skin that wants firmness and refinement without harsh actives or irritation. With regular use, you may notice:

• Skin feels firmer and more resilient over time
• Texture looks smoother and more refined
• Fine lines appear softer as hydration improves
• The complexion feels calm, balanced, and comfortable
• A natural, healthy glow not artificial shine

Why it works

Ageing skin isn’t asking to be pushed harder - it’s asking to be supported better. Ayurveda understands that firmness and clarity come from balanced nourishment, circulation, and calm renewal. This cream brings together Sandalwood to soothe and strengthen, Papaya to gently refine texture, and almond-rich oils to replenish what time and stress quietly deplete. Rather than forcing rapid turnover, it works in harmony with your skin’s natural rhythm - helping it look smoother, firmer, and more even, without feeling tight or sensitised. The result is skin that feels quietly confident in itself - rested, supported, and beautifully composed.

Ingredient Spotlight

Saffron (Kesar) - Saffron isn’t prized because it’s rare; it’s prized because it’s powerful in small amounts. In Ayurvedic beauty tradition, Kesar is used as a radiance herb: chosen for supporting an even-looking tone and a complexion that looks quietly luminous and nourished . It’s one of those ingredients that signals “this is not basic moisturiser,” it’s care designed to bring life back to skin that looks tired.

Khus / Vetiver - traditionally, Khus is loved for its calming, grounding coolness. It’s used when skin feels overheated, reactive, or easily overwhelmed, helping the complexion feel more settled and comfortable — the opposite of “stressed skin.”

Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) - A revered botanical associated with purity and refinement. In skincare, Lotus supports a complexion that looks smooth, fresh, and more refined, especially when the surface feels rough, tired, or uneven.

How to Use

Warm a small amount between fingertips and gently press into face, neck, and décolletage. Use morning and evening on cleansed, toned skin. Can be used as a day or night cream depending on skin needs.

Key Functional Ingredients

Chandan/Sandalwood - Santalum album

Sandalwood oil's main constituent is santalol. Not only does sandalwood soothe the skin and heal inflammatory conditions, but also has anti-ageing and rejuvenating effects. It is ideal for all skin types. Sandalwood protects the skin from the effects of pollutants, sun-exposure, dehydration and skin sensitivity.

Papaya extract - Carica papaya

Papaya is an anti-oxidant, healer and purifier. This natural skin brightener removes dead skin easily, bringing back a natural lustre.

The story behind this

Ageing doesn’t only show up as lines it shows up as less bounce, more sensitivity, and a surface that can feel “thinner” or more easily thrown off. And that’s where most skincare gets it wrong: it tries to correct mature skin the same way it corrects young skin - by pushing harder.

Ayurveda takes a more respectful approach. It focuses on graceful resilience: strengthening the skin’s comfort and steadiness so firmness can return naturally, without irritation. This formula was created for the woman who wants to look refined and fresh, not over-treated. The kind of care that supports you over time: smoother texture, a more even tone, and skin that feels calm in itself.

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.
