2. Read all the ingredients and be sure that there are no preservatives - because OIL IS a preservative - You will find many face oils, particularly those that claim to be 'non-oily' and 'non-sticky', that are hardly oils. Often these are liquids with tiny portions of natural extracts and large portions of thinners and other non-natural bases as well as preservatives. Now, one big reason behind switching to oils (in addition to their superior moisturizing power as compared to creams) is going natural. The very purpose is defeated if you're still having to resort to chemicals. A truly natural, effective oil wouldn’t add things that would need preservatives - oils by themselves have a good shelf life and should not be diluted by anything like silicon, parabens, petroleum distillates and should definitely not contain  Propylene Glycol (commonly found in creams AND the plastics industry!), Phthalates (Fragrance), etc. Phthalates are particularly rampant in beauty products but are avoidable if you choose fragrance-free products like Manjish Glow Elixir® or those that naturally have a pleasant aroma or contain essential oils only like iYURA Kesaradi® Day Oil.

BTW - It has been found that phthalates are connected with bioaccumulation, meaning their entrapment within the body is everlasting! Potential problems associated with Phthalates include endocrine disruption, reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, organ toxicity, and neurological conditions! Enough reason to avoid Phthalates or artificial fragrance?!

Herbal Oils

A herbal oil may be a mix of base/carrier oils and herb extracts or essential oils of herbs like rosemary, for example. However, just because it contains a herb that may or may not be Ayurvedic, it does not become an Ayurvedic oil.

AYURVEDIC OILS - A WHOLE DIFFERENT CATEGORY OF OILS

Heard of Ayurveda? The sister-science of Yoga, Ayurveda, pronounced as ‘Ah-you-r-way-dah’, is the ancient Indian science of life that’s over 5000 years old. For 5000 years, Ayurvedic formulations have thrived in the Indian subcontinent, Asia, Europe and other places across the globe. Ayurvedic oils are oils WAY BEYOND AROMATHERAPY and differ from other oils in 3 ways:

1. The ingredients used
2. Root/source of the formulation and the principles behind the selection of those ingredients
3. The process of the creation of the oil

Such herbs have an astringent effect on the skin. But to balance this, iYURA Kesaradi also contains herbs like Sweet Flag (Calamus root) and Sacred Lotus that are themselves natural moisturizers for dryness that subtly balance the effect and give soft, touch-inviting skin. All of this, of course, in the form of pure oil.

Ancient Ayurvedic formulations are crafted intelligently and balance the proportions of ingredients in such a way that the desired effect is produced without any undesirable effects!

#3.3 The process of creation of an authentic Ayurvedic oil

An Ayurvedic oil is not a simplistic mix of oils. Sometimes it can take days and days, even up to a week to create a true, Ayurvedic oil. Why? 

Ayurvedic principles are so core to Ayurvedic formulations that they even influence the stages at which different ingredients should be added, the format in which they must be used, and are more like all iYURA oils which stick to the traditional, text-recommended process of creation. 

For example, one of iYURA’s most popular oils, Manjish Glow Elixir for clear-looking, glowing skin, contains some revered herbs like Manjishtha, Butter Tree Bark, Licorice, etc. The process of creating Manjish Glow Elixir involves first culling, washing, and drying of herbs, then hand-pounding or powdering them, then making of the ‘Kalka’ or a paste-like format with pounded and powdered herbs and liquids, and only then using that paste to prepare the oil.

Ayurvedic oil-making is laborious, complex, labor-and-resource-intensive and it takes a lot of experience and knowledge to know things like just when to lower the temperature of the boiling oil! They require a lot of human attention and love.

(The good news is, this something that takes so much, also gives back a lot!) 

4. Dry skin, oily skin, combination skin, light tones, dark tones, sensitive skin, stubborn skin, dryness-prone, acne-prone, there’s an Ayurvedic oil for every type. Find the one that caters to your specific concern

To the skeptical mind, it seems far-fetched, maybe even counterproductive for oil to be suited to each type of skin. Well, Ayurvedic oils are a little complex - due to the herbs selected in different formulations addressing different needs, Ayurvedic oils can specifically target concerns of different types/needs of skin.

For example, for skin that's dry and dull, a rich formulation with rose, saffron, sesame, sacred lotus, wild Himalayan cherry, Indian banyan, Indian bay leaf, and vetiver can provide moisture and glow instantly.  So, iYURA Kesaradi is excellent for that. But for a targeted effect on firming, clarifying and purifying the skin, Manjish Glow works at night using the purifying powers of the herb "Manjishtha" to give clear skin.

Using Ayurvedic oils over other options like gels, creams and other oils can have a significant advantage and give enough reasons to be used:

1. NATURAL: Of course Ayurvedic oils are 100% natural and contain no chemicals, additives or any bad things whatsoever!
2. POWER OF EXOTIC HERBS: Not only are these 100% natural, these products contain exotic, powerful herbs that have been revered for their transformative powers for thousands of years.
3. QUICK RESULTS: Good quality Ayurvedic oils are powerful and effective and start showing results within days of usage. In fact, some iYURA face oils give a glow instantly!
4. LONG-LASTING RESULTS: Since they do not contain any chemicals and only healthy herbs, they make the skin look healthier over time rather than weakened due to chemical abuse of common cosmetics, pollution and other factors.
5. LAST LONG: Since these oils are so powerful and potent, only very little is required each time and hence one bottle of an iYURA oil lasts you a very long time.
6. FRAGRANCE-FREE: These oils do not contain any added fragrance and have a very subtle natural aroma of the herbs and the nutrition-rich ingredients that go inside them
7. TIME-SAVING AND SUPER EASY TO USE: All you need to do is apply a few drops and go about your day, or go to bed, depending on which oil you're using. There are no time-consuming, elaborate rituals!

So yes, if you want the best of everything - results without a compromise in a good budget, iYURA Ayurvedic oils make a very good option to start exploring this category of oils!

I am a total believer. I use both the Kesardi Oil and the Manjish Glow elixer. Beautiful combination added to my treatment regime. Iv'e become so addicted to the... texture and scent of these two oils, something feels totally off if I don't use them. The Glow elixer imparts the most beautibul amber glow to the skin, feels nourishing after a long day. They integrate beautifully with my day and night routines. Plus there's something I just can't put my finger on that feels so balancing about these products.

I’ve been using the day/night combination from iYura for about a month now and they are both terrific. I’m well versed in natural products and have tried not to use anything artificial on my skin for years now, I have even made my own simple Ayurvedic products, but these are very fine, as well as reasonably priced. I’m 47 and I spend time in the sun, and I feel these oils are a great support for aging gracefully. I was having some hormone-related breakouts, and this seems to have calmed them down, and I’ve also noticed my pores are smaller and my skin is more luminous and even-toned. I feel like I’m doing something good for myself by using them. Highly recommended!

People are noticing!

’ve been using both the morning and evening oils for about a month now. Until I actually looked at selfies taken before and after I didn’t realize what a difference there has been. I will be 71 June 2, and thought my skin was beyond help, but the photos don’t lie. Last night we had dinner with an old friend, and she said “Your skin is just GLOWING!” My pores are smaller and the best thing is that I feel like I can go out makeup free - just some mascara, sunscreen and tinted lip balm. Love these oils - won’t ever be without them ❤️

Best products! Highly recommend

I have been seeking a face skin care routine like these for years! A move to the NE with dry cold winters and approaching 40 and having 2 children in the past 5 years, i have started seeing a decline in my skin. I didn't buy into any of the promising anti aging products out there which were still filled with ingredients I wouldn't put on my skin. These oils have been the answer! My face is so supple and smooth like my baby's. So grateful!...Thank you iYURA!

"I honestly have to say at 63 years young, this Kesaradi Oil and the Manjish Glow Elixir have made my skin come alive again. I finally feel that over the years these oils are by far the best products I've ever used on my face and the lovely results, my skin is just glowing, just amazing!!! I'm a holistic nutritionist and reflexologist and highly recommend these products. I can't wait to try more!! I won't be without these oils!"

I feel renewed!!

I have tried many different products through out the years. I am in my 60's and my wanted to look refreshed, not tired every day. The combination of the Iyura Day and Night Oils did the trick. I have been using them as directed for about 2weeks. Its easy and feels great. I have had three people tell me I look like I had been on vacation. I have noticed a rosy glow and very soft and smooth skin. I would highly recommend this to all who want to look refreshed.

The Ayurvedic Products are Timeless

"...because of their more than generous return policy, I decided to try them. Did I like what I got? Here's my answer: Within 4 months I've bought 6 of their products: 4 for the body and 2 supplements. I quickly became grateful to have found products with integrity. I've been informed and biases [SIC] toward an 'alternative' lifestyle and health regime for decades, and I now consider these Ayurvedic Products to be high the on the list of products and supplements that will add tremendous health - both inner and outer - to my chosen lifestyle and my health goals. All the of the facial products, along with those for my joints and feet smell, amazing. But here there's a difference because the scents seem to come with their own history. .. a history heavy with an ancient wisdom that I can bring to my physical needs today. I see and receive results and benefits quickly. And they feel so good on my skin. My skin welcomes the oils and mix of ingredients being offered to it. It's as if these products carry an inner wisdom which the body is acutely aware of and wants to drink in as soon as they touch the skin. Kesaradi Oil nourishes and brightened the skin on my face... Then there is the Himaruti Oil that soothes and energizes my feet, ankles, toes. I warm the oil and massage my feet before bedtime which adds to the deep and peaceful sleep it supports me to enjoy....I will end by saying the Support Staff has always more than exceeded my best expectations of what customer support should give. They are kind, knowledgeable, caring and have always taken care of any product or order questions quickly. I am extremely happy to have found their company - a company of integrity and compassion."

Glowing skin

I’ve always been sceptical to buy face products online but after doing some research on “Aryuveda”[SIC] I decided to purchase the Manjish Glow Elixir and I’m happy I did ! After two weeks of using the oil my skin looks brighter, my cheeks have a natural glow and I’ve dared to send selfies to my hubby without makeup on ! Something else that I really like about the oil is that it doesn’t have any smell, which means no chemicals!

- Anna M

“Love love these oils.

My forever young 69 year old face is so smooth, glowing: I can’t say enough!!!! These products r so awesome!!! I would recommend them to anyone...I do not wear foundation; there is no need.”
