Kama Ayurveda Kama Ayurveda Kumkumadi Brightening Ayurvedic Face Cream — Indian beauty moisturizer

Kama Ayurveda Kumkumadi Brightening Ayurvedic Face Cream

Kama Ayurveda's Kumkumadi brightening day cream — saffron + sandalwood in the Ayurvedic Kumkumadi tradition. Hero SKU.

Kama Ayurveda Pure Vetiver Water — Indian beauty mist

Pure Vetiver Water

Kama Ayurveda's cooling vetiver mist — 100% steam-distilled vetiver root water from the Aligarh region of North India. A single ingredient. No preservatives, no fragrance, no additives. Vetiver (khus) is the cooling herb in Ayurveda — traditionally used to line clay pots with vetiver roots so the water inside stays cool in Indian summers. The distilled root water delivers that same cooling, calming action to oily and irritated skin. Unlike rose mists that lean sweet-floral, vetiver is earthy, grounding, and distinctly Indian. Spray after cleansing to calm oiliness, mid-day to control shine, or after sun exposure to soothe. At ₹975 (~$12) for 200ml, exceptional value for a single-origin Ayurvedic hydrosol.

Kama Ayurveda Pure Mogra Water Face & Body Mist — Indian beauty mist

Pure Mogra Water Face & Body Mist

Kama Ayurveda's mogra hydrosol — 100% steam-distilled Indian jasmine (Jasminum sambac) flower water, a single ingredient, no preservatives or additives. Mogra is one of India's most revered floral essences — used in Ayurvedic skincare for centuries for its anti-inflammatory, pH-balancing, and emotionally grounding qualities. The scent is heady and unmistakably Indian: sweeter than European jasmine, with a darker honeyed depth that doesn't read as floral-perfume. Use after cleansing as a hydrating toner, mid-day as a refresher, or after sun exposure as a calming mist. At ₹625 (~$8) for 50ml, premium per ml for what is essentially a single-source hydrosol — but the Kannauj-region sourcing and the cultural specificity justify it. Joins Kama's pure rose water and pure vetiver water in the Indian hydrosol trinity.

Kama Ayurveda Rose & Jasmine Face Cleanser — Indian beauty cleanser

Rose & Jasmine Face Cleanser

Kama Ayurveda's Rose & Jasmine Cleanser is the luxury Ayurvedic face wash that proves traditional Indian skincare can be as refined as anything from France. Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is one of the gentlest surfactants available — amino acid-derived, pH-balanced, used in premium Japanese and Korean cleansers. Vetivert (khus) root extract is a classical Ayurvedic cooling ingredient that calms reactive skin. Jojoba oil prevents the cleanser from stripping lipids. Holy basil (tulsi) provides mild antibacterial action — relevant in India's humid climate where bacterial skin issues are common. Licorice root brightens and soothes. Rose and jasmine essential oils provide the sensory experience — and both have documented anti-inflammatory properties beyond just fragrance. Cassia alata (ringworm bush) is a traditional tropical remedy for skin infections. This is an Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia reformulated for modern cosmetic science — every botanical earns its place through both tradition and evidence.
