Pioneering Researched Ayurveda

Almora Botanica starts with the enormous repository of knowledge of Ayurvedic botanicals and their medicinal properties. For millenia, human beings depended on plants for both food and medicine. There is a vast amount of documentation in Ayurveda on which part of which plant works to cure which illness or affliction.

Almora validates this knowledge combining it with advanced western scientific research to create powerful natural formulations that deliver exceptional results for beauty and wellness. We call this unique combination of ancient Ayurvedic healing traditions with modern green science innovation “Researched Ayurveda”.

Brilliant Adaptogenic Botanicals
  • Centella Asiatica, an extraordinary adaptogen whose medicinal properties have been known for thousands of years
  • Albizia Julibrissin, an adaptogen from South Asia known as the Persian Silk Tree or Lankan Acacia

Green Science Innovation

Almora’s formulations are created using green chemistry principles by our team of highly qualified research scientists and dermatologists in our own research centre in Bangalore.

The lab works under the stewardship of Dr Deeleep Rout, a globally recognised scientist who is Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer at Almora

There is no doubt that nature in its infinite complexity, has far more sophisticated solutions than can be created by humans by synthetic means. At the Almora laboratory, Dr Rout and his team extract the very best that nature has to offer using green chemistry and sustainable processes whilst ensuring that their formulations are both effective and safe.

Almora Botanica’s hallmark –The amazingly light Sapta Complex ©

Almora’s Research Centre has developed and patented a unique proprietary delivery system called Sapta Complex © which forms the backbone of the skincare range.

100% natural, Sapta Complex © is a blend of seven natural cold pressed oils which serve as the chassis or base supporting multiple effective high potency botanical actives.

Sapta Complex © is 10 times lighter than most oils while being ultra-hydrating. It is almost as light as water. It penetrates deep into skin cells twice as fast as other oils and serums enabling optimal delivery of benefits, while supporting hydration, skin renewal and rejuvenation.

Testing by Dermatologists

It takes years of research to develop and perfect an Almora formulation before bringing it to market. Once a product is developed it goes through a long period of testing first in-vitro in laboratory conditions where effects on reconstructed human tissue are measured at a cellular level.

The next stage involves testing the product both for safety and effectiveness on people of different ethnicities with different skin conditions.

Once the results prove to be good, the products are sent for further testing to dermatologists and independent research organisations who test the products intensively on a large number of respondents in controlled conditions. Only if the results obtained are excellent on all parameters, are the products deemed fit for use. If any parameter falls short, the whole long and arduous process has to be repeated, until complete satisfaction is obtained.
