Why These Ingredients Are Traditionally Loved
Sandalwood
Sandalwood has been valued in traditional Ayurvedic skincare for generations because of its naturally soothing and cooling properties.
It is commonly appreciated for:
- Providing a refreshing skin feel
- Helping the skin feel calm during hot weather

- Enhancing a relaxing self-care experience
Edible Camphor
Edible camphor has traditionally been used in very small quantities in certain Ayurvedic practices.
It is often appreciated for:

Only a very small quantity should be used to avoid potential irritation.
