Our plant-based formulations prioritize potency, purity, and provenance. Our philosophy is based on the notion that skincare is an important component of overall health and self-care rituals. As such, our skincare is crafted with ancient Ayurvedic prescriptions in consideration of its effects on our bodies, its impacts on the environment and the local communities we have partnered with to bring you our products.

Our sustainable and ethical partners include formulators, suppliers, and manufacturers that employ sustainable and environmentally conscious practices that combine active and natural ingredients (whether certified organic, ethically crafted or biodynamically grown) with modern skincare technologies.

Our skincare products are designed, formulated, manufactured, and packaged here in New Zealand.

We work alongside a small team of cosmetic chemists locally and Ayurvedic practitioners from India to create uncompromising, multi-functional formulations that are rigorously tested for efficacy, safety and stability.

Our ingredients are sourced from verified, sustainable, and ethical partners around the world.

Our products are formulated with certified organic ingredients when available. We continually strive to ethically source the highest quality botanicals throughout our small-batch manufacturing process whether they are certified organic, consciously cultivated and harvested, or biodynamically grown.

Wherever possible, we support smaller organic farms or co-ops directly from India- supporting local suppliers and their communities who prioritize uncompromising production principles, yet due to cost, do not have the means to acquire certification. We are confident that our ingredients meet the highest standards of produce and acquisition practices. Our products are 100% natural and naturally derived, no compromises.

Our products are formulated to be used on all skin types, ideal for dry, oily, and generally delicate and sensitive skin, and have been carefully curated using our key active ingredients to balance and nourish the skin. We developed vēr वेर to be sensitive yet effective to include skin that is acne-prone, eczematic, rosaceous, and irritable.

However, we do recommend doing a patch test 24 hours before application and consulting with your physician or skincare professional if you have any specific concerns.

Our products are intended to be indispensable and adaptable components of your regular skin care routine.

Our Face Oil is an oil-based serum that is designed to penetrate deeper into the skin, transforming and delivering multi-correctional results at the cellular level. It provides intense hydration, suppleness, and a delicate glow when massaged or pressed into patted dried skin immediately after cleansing, both morning and evening. For an extra hydration boost, mix into your moisturizer or liquid makeup and follow with sunscreen if required.
