About Ayurveda

Ayurveda is a time-honored wellness system that looks at the whole: mind, body, and spirit. Instead of 'correction' or forcing skin to behave a certain way, Ayurveda encourages balance through natural actives. When your skin is in balance, it appears calm, balanced, and naturally radiant.

At PĀNCHĀ, this balance guides everything we create: gentle skincare formulas borrowed from Himalayan wellness systems, intentional botanicals, and everyday routines that work with your skin.

Our ingredient choices are purposeful, our textures are comforting, and our rituals are designed to support a resilient, healthy-looking barrier, so your glow comes naturally.

Pancha Mahabhutas: The Five Elements

In Ayurveda, the five elements shape everything in nature, including the way your skin looks and feels. PĀNCHĀ, meaning “five”, honours these foundations with Ayurveda-inspired skincare that supports balanced, radiant skin.

Prithvi (Earth)

Structure and stability

Skin lens: firmness, barrier strength, and texture.

Jala (Water)

Moisture and cohesion

Skin lens: hydration, plumpness, and comfort.

Agni (Fire)

Transformation and glow

Skin lens: cell turnover, tone, and a healthy-looking radiance.

Vatu (Air)

Movement and flow

Skin lens: absorption, circulation, and softness.

Akasha (Space)

Clarity and openness

Skin lens: lightness, breathability, and feel.

Skin-Type based on Doshas (Bio-Energy)

Vata (Air + Space)
Often feels dry, thin, or sensitive → craves cushiony moisture and barrier support.
Pitta (Fire + Water)
Can run warm, reactive, or uneven → prefers soothing, lightweight hydration with calm-first actives.
Kapha (Earth + Water)
May feel oily or congested → benefits from clarity, gentle refinement, and balanced hydration.

Our formulations are curated by Ayurveda experts to rebalance rather than strip, overwhelm, or mask, so skin can settle into its natural equilibrium.

How PĀNCHĀ Skincare Is Made

Make it look more natural

Thoughtful Sourcing

We choose handpicked botanicals known in Ayurveda for their skin benefits—oils, extracts, and plant waters—prioritizing quality, seasonality, and responsible sources.

Gentle Extraction & Preparation

We use cold-pressed oils and low-heat infusions to help preserve the natural integrity & benefits of each ingredient.

Handmade in Small Batches

Crafted in limited batches by our team—measured, mixed, and poured by hand to protect potency and texture. Small batches keep formulas fresh and allow tighter quality control.

Skin-Safe & Eco-Conscious

Each batch is tested dermatologically and microbiologically, then filled into recyclable packaging—amber glass bottles with air-limiting closures—paired with minimal, recycling-friendly cartons and inks.
