10+ Great Ayurvedic Beauty Brands To Try

Looking for personalised beauty regimen? Why not try some natural Ayurvedic beauty brands?

By Supriya Talupuru

After enjoying 5000 years of popularity in the East, Ayurveda is finally becoming a big beauty trend in the West.

A system of natural healing that originated in India, Ayurveda is designed to balance the body through the correct diet, exercise and skincare. The concept of Ayurveda is based on your constitutional type, or ‘dosha’.

Don’t know your dosha? Find out here whether you’re vata, pitta, or kapha – or a combination of more than one. Once you’ve determined that, you’ll be better equipped to find the foods, plants and routines that will work best for you.

But Ayurveda is more than approach to health! The English translation of this Sanskrit word is the “Science of Life”or “Knowledge of Life.” Ayurvedic beliefs hold that every part of a plant is of sacred medicinal value. The basic ideology is: while nature has a solution, your own body already knows the answer.

Here’s a bit about the way the system works. Every part of a plant has immense potential as a medicine. If a plant can be of such great value, imagine the true potential of your own incredible body to heal itself! And when your body is healthy, your hair, skin and nails more beautiful.

Why Ayurvedic Skin Care Is Better

Like any machine, every aspect of our being comes together to achieve a higher good. But it is important that all the ingredients we put into our bodies are 100% natural.

A true Ayurvedic beauty brand will never use synthetic chemicals of any kind.

Another element of what makes natural Ayurvedic beauty brands so wonderful is that all of the ingredients should literally be pure enough to eat. This is truly an ‘inside out’ approach to beauty.

Some manufacturers will tell you their products are literally alive, thriving with cosmic energy.

Remember, though, that another important element of Ayurveda is balancing your dosha. So it’s super important to learn which you are, which I’ve mentioned above.

How Ayurvedic Beauty Brands Follow Nature

Also: seasons follow Ayurveda, too!

The season that starts at the end of summer and extends until true winter cold sets in is Vata.

This is a transitional period that can cause increasing unbalance and angst. Meditation, soothing baths, a bit of yoga and establishing soothing routines can help navigate Vata energy at this time of year,” says beauty expert Lauren Boxwood.

There’s another caveat, too. Milk, honey and beeswax are sometimes used in Ayurvedic medicine and products. So if you’re vegan, check to see which of the Ayurvedic beauty brands below are suitable for you.

No matter what your needs and preferences, there’s definitely an Ayurvedic beauty brand below that you’ll love!

4. Kama Ayurveda

Launched in 2002, this company represents top of the line luxurious Ayurvedic care. I’ve seen it move from being available only in some of the fanciest Indian shops to becoming more available worldwide.

They offer the usual skincare products made from pure, Indian-sourced ingredients. But they also have a killer package that involves a complete care regime that’s to be used for three months prior to a wedding.

This special kit consists of Bringadi Intensive Hair Treatment, Kumkumadi Brightening Ayurvedic Scrub, and the Nalpamaradi Tailam Skin Brightening Treatment. It makes the perfect bridal shower gift!

For example, the OmVeda Mahanarayana Tailam massage oil is made of a blend of a whopping 58 herbs! Not only does it smooth the skin, but it eases joint pain, too. Traditionally, this oil is also used as part of an effective anti-aging ritual.

7. Subtle Energies

I love this brand for their part in combining two dynamic sciences: Ayurveda and Aromatherapy. Look good, smell good and ergo, feel good is their philosophy. Subtle Energies’ collections include only the finest, richest, rarest of oils, which counter itchy, dry skin and fight stretch marks.

Their lush woody and headily floral fragrances are completely based on natural oils. Believe me: just a whiff of these will make your day! Our editor says she’s obsessed with their Mogra and Rose Gold Moisturiser, which she said calmed the redness in her skin right down. And yes, she says it also smells divine!

Delivery: They do deliver internationally, but it may be a better bet to check the stocklists in the various fine spas that stock Subtle Energies around the world. Click here to see a list.

8. Pratima

Spa based beauty brand Pratima has generated rave reviews from customers. That’s especially true for their sun care products, which, like all their offerings, are aimed at your dosha.

Another of the biggest winners from this brand is their humble remedial Neem Healing Oil. Neem is fantastic for sensitive skin and skin that’s growing intolerant because of pollution (personal experience shout out!).

This oil infuses neem with other caring ingredients like lavender, sandalwood, and basil. You can use it for multiple issues, like treating a prickly heat problem and soothing inflammation of the skin. One bottle has multiple uses – but there are plenty of other great products in this Ayurvedic beauty range to try!

Vegan friendly? Most products, yes

Best for: Protecting your skin from the sun and pollution

9. Sundara Holistic

Sundara Holistic aims to heal the body and mind. The brand does so through a strongly spiritual element. In fact, the owner even creates all her products in small batches, by hand, and chants ancient Vedic mantras while doing so.

These products are gentle and natural, of course. But Sundara mainly prides itself on being able to heal problematic skins, such as rosacea, acne and eczema. They do so through the power of traditional Ayurvedic herbal remedies that have been tried and tested to help such issues.

Delivers: Free on USA orders over $75. For other countries, delivery charges will be added at checkout.

  1. I’m surprised that Evan Healy isn’t on here. I’ve been using their products for a decade and couldn’t recommend them more!

  2. A really amazing list of ayurvedic brands. I have used most of these brands products and now moved to some of the new players in market like Arata. As their 100% plant based formula seems much trusted and safe than other ayurvedic, organic products. Not saying these brand are bad just following the trends.

  3. What an amazing list. That is really wonderful & impressive as well. Thanks a lot for mentioning Forest Essentials in this list. I am using this brand for more then 3-4 years & I must say it’s my favorite Ayurvedic brand

  4. Shanelle Simpson

    I’ve used Rasasara Skinfood for 5 years and my skin has never been more glowing, hydrated and nourished. It really is food for the skin – I barely have to wear makeup, my skin is happy, balanced and even in tone. They definitely ship worldwide though – not Australia only as your information suggests above.
