For millennia, ghee has been considered a sacred treasure in Indian culture. Known as the liquid gold of Ayurveda , this ancient ingredient has not only nourished bodies through nutrition but has also cared for and healed the skin as an essential part of beauty and wellness rituals.
What is ghee?
Ghee is a clarified butter made from organic butter, which is slowly heated to separate its impurities. This ancient process not only intensifies its purity and aroma, but also enhances its nourishing and healing properties. In Ayurveda, ghee is considered a natural rejuvenator (rasayana) , capable of balancing the doshas, especially Vata and Pitta, and strengthening tissues at a deep level.
The creation myth and the sacred origin of ghee
In Hindu mythology, the creator god Prajapati is said to have rubbed his hands together, and from the heat and friction, the first ghee emerged, which he then poured onto the sacred fire to give rise to the universe. Since then, ghee has been considered a divine, purifying, and life-giving substance. It was used not only in religious rituals but also as an offering, medicine, and sacred cosmetic.
Incorporating ghee into our skincare is not just a natural choice, it is an ancient gesture , a bridge between the wisdom of ancient India and our modern needs.
An ancient beauty ritual
For centuries, ghee has been used in India as a treatment for dry, irritated, or eczema-prone skin . In Ayurvedic rituals, it was applied to the face and body as a healing balm , even before spiritual ceremonies. Its ability to penetrate deep into the skin's layers makes it a perfect ally for maintaining hydration, soothing inflammation, and restoring natural balance.
