2. WHAT IS PUREARTH’S AYURVEDIC APPROACH?

- At Purearth we have tremendous respect for the Indian science and philosophy of Ayurveda and indigenous knowledge that has been handed down through ancient classical texts and communities. We subscribe to Ayurveda’s codified system of plant and mineral based healing, harnessing the potency of sustainably wild harvested, organic and natural botanicals.
- The founder pours her passion and principles into creating high performance, result driven skincare, engaging with Ayurvedic practitioners, naturopaths and aromatherapists to create time-honored remedies for contemporary living.
- Our approach to beauty and wellness does not rely on quick fixes or chemical solutions - we believe that for the external to be beautiful, the internal must be in balance.
- An Ayurvedic approach to skincare is the balance of three elemental energies or Doshas - Vata (air and space), Pitta (fire and water), and Kapha (earth & water). Each of us possesses a unique combination of doshas that defines our temperament and characteristics.
- Purearth harnesses the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and Ayurvedic principles with indigenous knowledge to formulate its skincare and wellness collection. Our concoctions and tisanes / herbal infusions pacify the doshas and bring balance to the system, stimulating energy points, eliminating toxins and nourishing skin from within.

Each ingredient is sourced from the pristine purity of an eco-habitat within the Himalayan mountains at altitudes of over 7000ft. Each product and packaging is crafted by hand, nurtured with love and care in small batches, and is 100% factory and cruelty free.
- Purearth promises purity and offers the safest ethical skincare and wellbeing collection found on the planet.
- Purearth is focused on people and the planet, and not only on profit. We pay fair trade prices and aim to foster a culture of conscious consumption, creating a connection between the consumer with the producer.
- Natural rhythm and ritual inform how we create our line. We travel far to forage, returning to concoct, blend and bottle by hand in limited batches at our zero-waste studio. Evoking harmony between mind, body and soul, our plant and mineral based formulations are rooted in ancient Ayurvedic wisdom and a revelation in green beauty and wellness.
