A guide to the Indian botanicals in our jars

Lakadong turmeric, Konkan kokum, Kannauj rose. Meet the farms and families behind our hero ingredients.

We source more than half of our botanicals from within 1,500 km of our Bengaluru lab.

Lakadong turmeric, Meghalaya

Grown on hillside farms, Lakadong turmeric has one of the highest curcumin contents in the world. We use it in our Turmeric Brightening Drops and Clay Mask.

Kokum, the Konkan coast

Kokum butter is pressed from the seeds of a fruit most people know from solkadhi. It melts at skin temperature and never feels greasy.

Rose, Kannauj

Our rose water is steam distilled in copper degs, the way Kannauj perfumers have worked for centuries.
