Infused with Saffron (Kesar), Manjistha, Bakuchi, Vetiver, Kumkumadi Tailam and Swarn Bhasma, this elixir is designed to stimulate cell regeneration, reduce fine lines and pigmentation, and restore the skin’s natural glow overnight. Developed using the AI-powered extraction system, it ensures maximum bioavailability and skin absorption of active phyto-compounds without the use of synthetic chemicals or preservatives.
The formulation has received acclaim from dermatologists, Ayurvedic experts, and clean beauty advocates for its science-backed efficacy, zero-toxin profile, and commitment to sustainable sourcing. It is especially positioned for conscious consumers seeking high-performance, plant-based skincare rooted in Indian tradition.
