Overview

Saffron, manjistha and red sandalwood do the work in this Shankara face oil, with turmeric added as a special ingredient. It comes in a bottle and carries its original aroma.

A saffron-led oil with a traditional herbal pitch has a distinct identity, and the alcohol free label is clear. The claims are broad and loosely worded, from acne and blackheads to brightening and anti-aging, while only normal skin is listed. No directions are provided.

Who it's for

Fans of Ayurvedic skincare with normal skin who enjoy a traditional herbal scent are the target. Those with oily, dry or reactive skin, and anyone sensitive to scent, should patch test or look elsewhere.

Performance notes

An oil blend like this forms a lipid layer on the skin, so the feel is rich and the effect is mostly softness and glow. The botanical ingredients contribute scent and color more than measurable change. Acne or blackhead claims depend on the rest of the routine.
