Soma Ayurvedic is a skincare brand that is set out to demonstrate the power of natural ingredients through its adoption of Ayurvedic principles.
Known as “The Science of Life,” Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of healing that utilizes herbal remedies to treat the body and mind. When employed, Ayurveda improves wellbeing in all pillars of life. Living in harmony with nature is integral to boosting one’s health from the inside out.
Soma Ayurvedic takes the traditions of Ayurveda, passed down across thousands of years, and incorporates them into their modern-day products. The skincare brand keeps things simple and straightforward; the three product line up is vegan, cruelty-free and contains zero fillers or synthetics. Soma Ayurvedic’s focus is on showcasing the benefits of the herbs, vitamins and antioxidants.
To stimulate radiant, youthful skin, Soma Ayurvedic’s Anti-Aging Cream embraces two of Ayurveda’s most loved plants- saffron and aloe vera. Considered a “royal” herb, saffron boasts anti-inflammatory properties that reduce the appearance of scars, acne and hyperpigmentation. Rich in antioxidants and vitamins, aloe vera is a plant that is renowned for its moisturizing capabilities. It also boosts the production of collagen, a protein responsible for the skin’s ageing process. The resulting product is a rich cream that leaves the skin nourished and rejuvenated.
Soma Ayurvedic’s Under Eye Gel combats tired skin with its cooling formulation. Listed as the second ingredient, lavender oil not only provides a calming scent but regenerates skin cells and smoothes texture. Moringa is an Indian-native, adaptogenic herb that has recently gained traction in the mainstream wellness industry but has been celebrated in Ayurveda for centuries.
The abundance of vitamins A and C make the plant effective for minimizing fine lines and wrinkles when applied topically. The gel is enriched with avocado, which offers deep hydration and protection against stress thanks to its fatty acids and vitamin E. Beyond eliminating puffy eyes, the potent formula can be used anywhere on the face for a brightening effect.
The third product in Soma Ayurvedic’s range is a staple in any skincare regimen- a Vitamin C Serum. Soma’s belief in simplicity is embodied in the serum, containing just six ingredients. The minimal blend harnesses the brightening powers of citrus, including both orange peel and grapefruit extract. Being one of the most used flowers in ancient medicinal and beauty recipes, roses are praised for their antimicrobial and antioxidant qualities.
Rose oil not only gives the serum a delicate scent but delivers moisture and protection against free radicals. The serum works to even skin-tone with its inclusion of vetiver, a cooling plant traditionally used in Ayurveda to treat burns and fevers.
Soma Ayurvedic recommends applying just a few drops of the potent formula to achieve a radiant complexion. For a luxurious self-care ritual, use a facial tool such as a jade roller which provides a lymphatic massage that supports circulation and allows the product to marinate on the skin.
In alignment with Ayurveda’s appreciation of the Earth, Soma Ayurvedic lessens their environmental impact with recyclable glass packaging. Additionally, all products are made in small batches. Inspiring positive change is embedded into Soma’s mission; for every purchase, they donate school supplies and personal hygiene kits to local communities.
Ayurveda has lasted the test of time, proving that humans truly can heal themselves through nature. Evident in their products with short ingredient lists but a myriad of benefits, Soma Ayurvedic brings these ancient practices to a contemporary light.
