We believe skincare is more than just topical,it’s a ritual rooted in rhythm, balance, and nature. Inspired by the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and the time-honoured rituals of Himalayan women, our products are thoughtfully crafted with organic, plant-based, and biodegradable ingredients that honour both your skin and the Earth.
In Ayurveda, summer is ruled by the Pitta dosha, composed of the fire and water elements. When Pitta becomes aggravated, especially under intense summer heat, it can lead to inflammation, sensitivity, breakouts, and excess oiliness. That’s why your summer skincare ritual should focus on cooling, calming, and stabilising the skin to restore harmony.
To help you stay balanced this season follow the three-step ritualbelow that cools the skin, supports radiance, and strengthens natural defences.
Step 1: Cool + Hydrate with Hyaluronic Boosting Drops
(Balance Pitta with hydration and rose)
Hydration is a cornerstone of Ayurvedic summer care. Heat may dehydrate the deeper layers of your skin, causing surface oiliness and irritation. OurHyaluronic Boosting Drops are infused with organic rose water – a sacred Ayurvedic ingredient known for pacifying Pitta and soothing inflammation.
Blended with Tremella mushroom (snow fungus), flaxseed, oat extract, and multi-weight hyaluronic acid, this serum restores the skin’s jala (water element), bringing immediate cooling relief and long-lasting moisture without heaviness.
Use solo after cleansing or blend with ourVitamin C Powder for a custom hydration boost.
Step 2: Brighten + Defend with Vitamin C Radiance Powder
(Neutralise sun-aggravated ama with antioxidant power)
According to Ayurveda, prolonged sun exposure can accumulate ama (toxins), which show up as dullness, hyperpigmentation, and skin fatigue. Vitamin C is revered for its detoxifying, brightening, and protective properties.
Our Brightening Vitamin C Powdercontains 70% Ascorbyl Glucoside, a stable form of Vitamin C that activates only when blended – preserving freshness and potency. This unique powder format ensures your skin receives maximum antioxidant benefit every time.
Blend it with the Hyaluronic Boosting Dropsto brighten the complexion, fade dark spots, and boost ojas (vital energy) – the Ayurvedic essence of inner radiance and vitality.
(Guard agni – your skin’s intelligence – from excess fire)
In Ayurveda, agni is your skin’s innate metabolic intelligence. Excess heat from the sun can throw it off balance, leading to redness and inflammation.
Our SPF 25 Moisturiser is formulated with non-nano mineral filters and calming botanical oils to provide broad-spectrum UV protection while respecting your skin’s natural function. It creates a breathable barrier that shields from sun damage, prevents pigmentation, and works in harmony with Vitamin C to maintain your skin’s equilibrium.
A Seasonal Ritual Rooted in Balance
Your skin is a reflection of your internal and external environment. The Ayurvedic Summer ritualhonours your skin’s natural rhythms through the heat of Pitta season. With each product, you cool the fire, replenish hydration, and restore harmony – using the power of organic ingredients and ancient wisdom.
Let your skincare be a sanctuary this summer: a cooling ritual that calms the spirit, soothes the skin, and reconnects you with nature.
In our modern world, skin is under siege:
Harsh cleansers strip away protective oils.
Foaming face washes over-exfoliate.
Toners and scrubs destroy the skin’s microbiome.
And “oil-free” marketing convinces us hydration and nourishment are dangerous.
This daily stress adds up. And what starts as a bit of oiliness or the odd breakout can become chronic sensitivity, congestion, and barrier breakdown, a term scientists call epidermal dysfunction.
Fact: Chronic stress raises cortisol levels, which overstimulates oil glands causing excess sebum and worsening acne and inflammation. (International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020)
So if your skin feels tight but greasy, dehydrated but breaking out, or just never quite right it’s not just “problem skin.” It’s stressed skin.
Let’s stop the cycle.
Myth #1: “Facial oils clog pores and make acne worse.”
Why this myth persists:
Oily skin = more oil = more breakouts, right? So adding facial oil must be a disaster. That’s the logic.
The Real Science:
Many acne-prone skins are actually lacking linoleic acid, a key fatty acid that keeps sebum soft and flowing. When sebum becomes thick and sticky, it traps dead skin and bacteria creating the perfect storm for breakouts.
Fact: About 80-90% of teenagers experience acne due to hormonal surges that cause excessive sebum production – leading to clogged pores and breakouts. (American Academy of Dermatology)
The SAIRA Solution:
Our Balancing Face Wash gently cleanses oily, acne-prone skin without stripping it. It includes:
Salicylic acid to gently exfoliate inside pores and reduce blackheads.
Aloe vera to soothe and hydrate.
Plant-derived surfactants that clean without disrupting the skin barrier.
This balance is key because over-cleansing can cause the skin to overproduce oil, worsening acne.
Fact: Frequent use of alkaline cleansers can increase water loss, disturb skin pH, and lead to barrier dysfunction. (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020)
Myth #2: “Oily skin doesn’t need hydration.”
The Real Issue:
When oily skin gets dehydrated – through over-cleansing, stripping acids, or skipping moisturiser it fights back by producing even more oil. This leads to a confusing skin type that’s oily on the surface and dry underneath – a recipe for breakouts, irritation, and enlarged pores.
The SAIRA Solution:
Our Hyaluronic Boosting Drops hydrate oily, acne-prone skin with:
Tremella mushroom (snow fungus), nature’s hyaluronic acid.
Hydrolyzed pea protein and oat extract to calm irritation.
Hemp and flax extracts rich in omega-3s to reduce inflammation.
Layering hydration under facial oil locks in moisture, helping skin feel balanced, not greasy.
Myth #3: “Facial oils are too heavy for sensitive or large-pored skin.”
Why people believe it:
Facial oils get lumped into one category – greasy, thick, pore-blocking. But that’s like saying all fabrics feel the same.
The Science:
Some oils like coconut are comedogenic, but others such as jojoba, grapeseed, and rosehip are light, absorb fast, and mimic your skin’s own lipids.
The SAIRA Solution:
Our Hydrating Facial Oil is:
Rich in linoleic acid, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory oils like rosehip and black cumin.
Non-greasy and quickly absorbed.
Designed to improve elasticity and smooth the look of large pores over time.

Final Word: Don’t Fear the Oil – Embrace the Balance
If you’ve ever been told that oils are the enemy of oily or acne-prone skin, you’re not alone. The myths run deep – that oils clog pores, make breakouts worse, and should be avoided at all costs. But the truth is: when you choose the right oils in a balanced routine, they can become your skin’s biggest ally.
We’ve debunked the biggest misconceptions:
That oily skin doesn’t need hydration.
That facial oils suffocate pores.
That gentle, plant-based routines aren’t “active” enough.
Now, we’ve shown the science – and the solution.

By switching to our gentle oil + cloth cleansing method, followed by our light yet deeply nourishing Hydrating Facial Oil, used morning and night, his skin began to heal. The breakouts lessened, the redness calmed, and the oiliness balanced out – without stripping or stressing the skin.
