Pratima is an ayurvedic spa and skincare line that makes beautiful organic products in 100% recyclable packaging. The brand was founded by Dr. Pratima, an ayurvedic doctor, chemist, botanist and aesthetician, who has provided the gift of healing to thousands of men, women and children for over 40 years, balancing mind/body systems, rejuvenating complexions and clearing skin problems that defied treatments by top dermatologists. She has singlehandedly introduced several generations of followers to the power of Ayurveda, a holistic approach to wellness.
Want to try just a couple of products from the Pratima line? We recommend these three:
Pratima Love Oil: This unique, nurturing body oil is sweet and spicy “just like love itself,” explains Dr. Raichur. Pure organic essences of Cinnamon, Clove and Cardamom combine to create the warm, nurturing feeling of being cared for, while nourishing Sweet Almond Oil works with Lavender, Rose and Vanilla to hydrate, soothe and deeply soften the skin. Massage all over the body when you want to feel nourished and loved. Can be used in the bath – add a few drops under running water.
Pratima Neem Mint Botanical Shampoo: An all-natural, sulfate-free balancing shampoo with botanicals of Neem, Basil and Gotu Kola, gently cleanses, strengthens follicles and nourishes all hair types, while herbal infusions of Nettle, Triphala and Shikakai soothe and nurture irritated scalp and flaky conditions. Organic essential oil of Mint refreshes the senses.
Pratima Neem Rose Face Sunscreen: This all natural face sunscreen combines organic botanicals of Neem, Shatavari and Rose with non-nano micronized Zinc Oxide help to effectively protect against harmful UVA, UVB and UVC rays. Non-clogging silky formula works to nourish skin, prevent premature aging and guard against breakouts.
