    Highly recommend!!!

    A cannula insertion left me with bruising on my arm.

    I had just started using Kumkumadi oil on my face and thought this bruise would be a true test. Less than a week of using the oil,has helped significantly!


    From past experiences I know that whilst the first few days of the bruise is as pretty as the northern lights, I have days of a greeny/ yellow shadow before the bruise totally heals. Not this time. Whilst the oil is healing my bruise I found that it leaves my face radiant and hydrated.

    Gold Elixir

    Shankara’s kumkamadi oil has revolutionized my skincare & become a staple night time regimen. As a somewhat “lazy, loves to bask in the sun, hates to go for facials” girl, this golden elixir is the reason for glowy, dewy skin! No, it’s not a facial peel or makeup, ask my husband or friends!! :)

    Ayurveda doesn’t fail, and this face oil proves it. My only regret is not trying it sooner!

    My Shankara regimen:

    Morning: Brightening Serum & Hydrating Moisturiser

    Evening: Eye Cream & I alternate Gheesutra Emulsion & Kumkumadi Oil daily.

    Had minimal skin peeling on my chin which stopped after 4 days. My skin now has less blemishes, almost as if my ‘not so good’ skin peeled off & revealed a new lighter, brighter & smooth skin!Dark circles around my eyes reduced to a shade lighter too!

    Results of these high quality & natural Shankara products are fast, effective & visible. Love it!
