WHY ORGANIC?

Choosing organic products is primarily a morally responsible choice, which aligns with Lakshmi's commitment to engagement and connection with nature. Moreover, organic products are more effective because the ingredients are more closely related to the substances naturally present in our bodies. An organic production method means that the entire ecosystem is considered at every step. No genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are used, and the production method meets strict criteria to protect the environment, people, and animals.

Lakshmi products are manufactured according to the strict criteria of organic production methods and are certified by AIAB. Lakshmi uses only natural ingredients obtained from organically and biodynamically cultivated or wild plants, including phyto-extracts, essential oils, and floral waters from aromatic plants. Lakshmi products are very skin-friendly, contain a plant-based emulsifier, and are made from 100% cold-pressed plant oils.

TRANSPARENT BIO-ECO CERTIFICATION

After rigorous testing, Lakshmi products are certified by the AIAB (Italian Institute of Organic Agriculture) eco-organic certifications, which guarantee human and environmental protection and only accept the use of raw materials of natural origin with a reduced environmental impact. (For more information, visit www.aiab.it) Furthermore, Lakshmi uses only ingredients obtained from plants cultivated using organic, biodynamic, and wild agriculture methods. These include, for example, phyto-extracts, floral waters of aromatic plants, plant-based emulsifiers, first-cold-pressed vegetable oils, and 100 percent pure essential oils.

Ayurveda

INNER WELLBEING & OUTER BEAUTY

What is Ayurveda? Ayurveda is a comprehensive therapeutic science originating in India, practiced there for over 5,000 years. Ayurveda is also a philosophy that provides guidance for a harmonious lifestyle. The term "ayurveda" comes from Sanskrit and is a combination of "ayur," meaning "life," and "veda," meaning "science" or "knowledge."

Following the guidelines of Ayurveda aims for self-discovery. The individual needs of each person are the starting point. Ayurveda views a person as a whole and focuses on balancing and creating harmony. Ayurvedic knowledge demonstrates a clear connection between all elements of the body, including the skin, and the various vital processes that occur within it: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. 

Based on observations of nature, the great sages of the Himalayas developed and elaborated the concept of the five basic elements in Ayurveda. This insight led to the concept of the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

AYURVEDA

Ayurveda strives to harmoniously balance the five elements within a person. This is achieved through personalized massages, treatments, herbs, essential oils, and music, which influence and balance these five elements. The essential oils and cosmetics used must be tailored to individual needs to achieve the desired and lasting results. By utilizing the knowledge of Ayurveda, aromatherapy, and naturopathy, Lakshmi offers effective products for use in massage and other treatments. These products create physical and mental balance by addressing the root cause of imbalances, thus supporting and maintaining radiant, healthy, silky, soft, and vital skin.
