Derived from Sanskrit, Ayurveda means “the science of life”. This medicinal system has been in regular daily practice in India for over 5000 years! Ancient civilisations like India and China relied on potent herbs and plants found in their forests for healing and rejuvenation. In conjunction with Yoga, Ayurveda is a holistic and integrated system of health and wellness based on the interconnectedness of the mind and body, working in harmony with nature and the planet.
Based on knowledge gathered over centuries, Ayurvedic treatments draw upon a profound and deep understanding of the goodness of nature and the amazing medicinal properties of botanical herbs and plants.
Our Foundational Pillars
Almora Botanica is based on four foundational pillars that form a part of its DNA:
- 1) The wisdom of Ayurveda
- 2) Green Science Innovation,
- 3) The practice of Yoga
- 4) Clean and Sustainable Beauty.
Combined, these four pillars create a unique and powerful offering that is a synthesis of the knowledge systems of the East and the West.
The study of Ayurvedic herbs and their properties is fundamental to the development of Almora Botanica formulations. From the vast repository of herbs, adaptogenic botanicals are particularly important. Thriving as they do in harsh climatic conditions,these unique adaptogens have developed resilient properties that make them highly effective in skincare.
For me, the study of Ayurveda has been a lifelong passion and commitment.
Knowledge about this holistic approach to wellness has been accumulated over five thousand years. My mission is to bring the benefits of this deep knowledge to you, after validating it through advanced scientific research. We call this contemporary approach
Researched Ayurveda.
Almora Botanica brings to you the highest quality of Ayurvedic and Adaptogenic Botanicals scientifically formulated into high-performance solutions. The rigour of our Researched Ayurveda process makes Almora an extremely clean and pure range of skin-care and wellness treatments, which you can count on to deliver results without doing any harm to your body or to the planet.

Clean Beauty and Sustainability
Almora is equally uncompromising in its approach to Clean Beauty and Sustainability. Our Ayurvedic skincare formulas consist of 98-100% natural-origin ingredients.
Every stage and every process in the sourcing as well as the manufacture of our products has been examined and certified by stringent COSMOS certifying authorities.
Our botanicals are cultivated to GACP and COSMOS Natural standards, ensuring that they are free from toxins such as heavy metals, pesticides, and bacterial contamination with absolutely no nasties.
Facial Yoga
Finally, it is important to recognise that Ayurveda is much more than just skincare. Working closely with yoga, this ancient healing system creates a balance between the mind and the body. Almora Botanica’s skincare regimens are thus supported and enhanced by Facial Yoga.
We believe in bringing harmony between the mind and body through movement, breathing, and touch. We actively encourage the use of facial yoga routines paired with our serums and oils for maximum benefits.
