The Significant Side Effects of Contemporary Chemical Laden Skin-Care Products
You would be surprised to know that an average woman subjects her skin to as many as 200 chemicals in the name of skin-care. Most products, if not all, are made of toxic and harmful chemicals and that too of sub-par and extremely dubious quality. Obviously, exposure to such chemicals and ingredients has an extremely adverse impact not just on women’s skin but also their entire body. The problem is not restricted to women alone, exposure to harmful skin-care products have been linked to reduced sperm count, premature greying, and lower testosterone levels, among a plethora of other diseases witnessed in men. If you wish to really take care of your skin without the harmful effects of these chemical-laden cosmetic products, it is time to move to completely natural, safe and reliably tested skin-care products crafted based on scientific formulations as detailed in the ancient Indian science of Ayurveda.
The Vision Behind Ojas – The Luxury Bath
Practising Ayurveda since a very young age, Varisha was always disappointed when she was out looking for 100% natural and organic skin-care products. She decided that it was time to take the situation into her own hands and start talking about Ayurveda and the ancient Indian techniques for natural skin-care. One such conversation with Cherry convinced her that she too was looking for something similar wherein her grandmother’s age-old skin-care formulations could be formalised for the contemporary skin-care market. This is how Ojas – The Luxury Bath was born.
After a lot of effort from Varisha and Cherry, today Ojas has created a special niche for itself in the skin-care market. Ojas prides in itself in creating completely natural and safe skin-care products for both men and women which are rigorously tested, vegan, animal-friendly and environment-friendly too. Formulations are derived from the essence of Ayurveda, the finest raw materials are sourced from the length and breadth of India and then transformed into the finest skin-care products proudly manufactured in India. Ojas believes in a no-compromise policy so that it delivers products which make your skin feel natural, lustrous, hydrated and truly spectacular. We sat down with Varisha and Cherry to know more about Ojas – The Luxury Bath brand.
At Ojas, we present skin care products that derive their meaning from Ayurveda. Our USP lies in creating an alloy of organic ingredients, which come together on a science backed canvas of Ayurveda.
Varisha Kanungo and Cherry Mehta, Co-Founders, Ojas – The Luxury Bath
An Interview with Varisha and Cherry, Co-Founders, Ojas – The Luxury Bath
- Q. Tell us about yourselves and your background.
- Growing up as a yoga enthusiast, Varisha was exposed to Ayurveda at an early age and researched the effectiveness of traditional recipes and how they could be adapted for modern-day consumers. Trying to blend both, got her closer to Cherry. They hit it off from the start. This way, they came together and Ojas – The Luxury Bath happened.
Inspired by her grandmother's beauty secrets, Cherry had decided from the very beginning that she will bring the age-old wisdom in the limelight. She wanted to introduce a traditional version of skin-care made according to Ayurveda but with a modern twist. Apart from managing her business, Cherry loves to try out different cuisines, and finds cooking therapeutic.
- Q. What led you to create Ojas and how did you go about it?
- The idea popped in while shopping my heart out at a duty-free store. Picking up all the beauty products needed to survive the entire year. But did you know the ancient science of cosmetology is believed to have originated in India and Egypt. There is evidence of highly advanced ideas of various cosmetic usages both by men and women, in ancient India. In fact Ashtānga Hridaya (a 1,500 year old book of Ayurveda) offers six different formulations to be used for the six seasons of the year. Similarly, special cosmetic (oils) and (clarified butter or ghee) were used for facial beautification. Many remedies have been indicated for hair growth, prevention of falling hair and premature greying. Yet we expose our skin to risk with beauty products that are not suitable for our skin type, plus aren’t anywhere close to what our rich culture has gifted us. So why not come up with a natural, old school skin-care brand?
- Q. What is your process and how do you introduce a product?
- The idea behind Ojas was to build an organic beauty brand that not only stands for luxury items but also delivers a pure and pleasant experience to its customers, which is safe for their skin and the environment as well.
- Q. What are some challenges you faced in developing your products or creating this brand?
- Trust. People don’t trust a new brand that easily. Especially since you don’t have a famous face to market it.
