What is Ayurveda?

Originating 5000 years ago in the Himalayas, Ayurveda’s holistic health and wellbeing system is based on the therapeutic properties of plants. The Urban Veda range has been formulated using natural ingredients and the principles of Ayurveda, in a relevant way for 21st century skin care complaints to ‘pollution proof’ skin leaving it less vulnerable to the environment.  The Ayurveda principle is what differentiates Urban Veda from the other all natural brands, each range has been designed to suit different skin types which in the principles of Ayurvedic medicine are associated with ‘doshas’.  This is the Ayurvedic term to describe the physical and emotional tendencies in our mind and body.  The central concept of this Ayurvedic skincare approach is to maintain your dosha’s natural balance, helping to keep skin in optimum health.   

How do I find out my dosha?

Our Urban Veda ranges use a bespoke selection of natural ingredients designed to suit different skin types which in the principles of Ayurveda are associated with ‘doshas’. This is the Ayurvedic term to describe the physical and emotional tendencies in our mind and body. We match plants to each dosha based on their properties and benefits to that specific skin type.

To find out your dosha, complete our questionnaire here: Dosha Questionnaire

What is the difference between the Radiance and Reviving Range?

The Radiance range aims to revitalise dry, lack-lustre complexions, to lock in moisture and help the skin to retain its natural glow. The Reviving range is suitable for all skin types and helps to plump and pamper tired and mature skin.

Which is the most popular range?

Our most popular range is the Purifying range, designed for oil prone skin and matched to the “Kapha” dosha.   It has already won 11 industry and consumer led awards which is fantastic for such a young brand.  The feedback for each product in the range has been very positive; the Purifying Facial Wash is our number one selling product within the brand.  Here’s one of the many reviews from our website “’I love this product! It smells amazing, it has cleared up my acne and blackheads ridiculously quickly and it feels amazing on your skin. Perfect product, I am sold for life”.
