Every SpaVed formula begins with carefully selected botanicals rooted in Ayurveda, chosen for what they do rather than how they sound. Below you'll find their origins, their benefits for your skin, scalp and hair, and the products each one appears in.

For skin

Saffron

The world's most precious spice, and a traditional Ayurvedic brightener. In our Saffron Face Cream it helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and dullness and supports a more even, radiant-looking tone.
Found in: Saffron Face Cream, Illuminate & Rejuvenate Duo, Cleanse & Nourish Duo

Licorice

A root extract with natural brightening benefits. Paired with saffron, it helps minimise the appearance of dark spots for a more luminous complexion.
Found in: Saffron Face Cream

Tulsi (Holy Basil)

Revered in Ayurveda as a purifying, rejuvenating herb. In skincare it helps promote an even tone and calms the skin, while shielding it from everyday environmental stress.
Found in: Tulsi Nourishing Face Cream and every duo that includes it

Shea Butter

A rich, natural butter for intense nourishment. It gives the Tulsi cream its deep hydration and leaves dry or mature skin feeling comfortable and soft.
Found in: Tulsi Nourishing Face Cream

Hydrolysed Soybean Fibre

A plant-derived skin-conditioning ingredient that helps support smoother, firmer-looking skin.
Found in: Tulsi Nourishing Face Cream

Aloe Vera

Soothing and hydrating, aloe calms the skin and helps hold moisture in, which is why it sits alongside our brightening and nourishing actives.
Found in: Saffron Face Cream, Tulsi Nourishing Face Cream

Vitamin E

An antioxidant that supports the skin's natural defence and adds hydration. It appears in both our day cream and our night serum.
Found in: Saffron Face Cream, Chamomile Face Oil Serum, Natural Hair Growth Oil

Wild Turmeric (Kasturi Manjal)

Not the turmeric in your kitchen: kasturi manjal is a non-staining cosmetic turmeric prized in Ayurveda for the skin. Rich in antioxidants, it helps protect against free radicals and supports a brighter, smoother-looking complexion. It will not leave your skin yellow.
Found in: Wild Turmeric Face Cleanser, Cleanse & Nourish Duo, Revitalise & Renew Duo

Papaya (Papain Enzyme)

Naturally rich in papain, an exfoliating enzyme that helps lift away dull surface cells, leaving skin looking smoother, brighter and more even.
Found in: Wild Turmeric Face Cleanser

Chamomile

One of the gentlest botanicals in skincare. It soothes irritation and helps reduce the appearance of redness, which is why it leads our night serum.
Found in: Chamomile Face Oil Serum, Timeless Radiance Duo

Lavender

Calming for the skin and for the evening. Lavender oil supports the serum's soothing work and helps the skin settle overnight.
Found in: Chamomile Face Oil Serum

Rosehip

A restorative oil that supports the skin's natural repair and collagen production, helping soften the appearance of fine lines by morning.
Found in: Chamomile Face Oil Serum

For hair and scalp

Rosemary

Long used in hair care and enriched with nourishing acids and vitamin E. Rosemary helps prevent split ends, fights dryness and adds shine, and gives our hair oil its fresh aroma.
Found in: Natural Hair Growth Oil

Argan Oil

Packed with vitamins and minerals, argan brings shine, volume and softness back to lengths that have lost them.
Found in: Natural Hair Growth Oil

Jojoba Oil

The base of our hair oil. Jojoba is close in structure to the scalp's own oils, so it absorbs well and carries the other botanicals to the scalp without heaviness.
Found in: Natural Hair Growth Oil

Onion Bulb Extract

A traditional ingredient for hair, used to strengthen roots, support hair growth, nourish the scalp and suit dandruff-prone scalps.
Found in: Natural Hair Growth Oil

Tea Tree Oil

Soothes an itchy scalp, helps reduce build-up and calms the scalp, and suits dandruff-prone scalps.
