Ayurvedic makeup remover that vitalizes and nourishes your skin.

One of the main principles of Ayurveda is that everything we offer the body - both outside and inside should be sattvic, which means natural, pure and fresh. Everything you put on your skin should also be able to be put in your mouth, as after just a few minutes it has penetrated far into the body and has become a part of you! Always make sure you know what your skin products consist of - and what easier way is there than by mixing your own delicious organic stuff!
