What it is

Rasa Origins, explained

Rasa Origins is a light day cream built around Kumkumadi Tailam, for skin that looks dull or uneven. It goes on in the morning after cleansing and sits comfortably under sunscreen and makeup.

  1. Kumkumadi Tailam, made for daytime

    The classical saffron oil, which carries saffron and lotus stamens among its herbs, in a light cream you can wear by day.

  2. Turmeric, Manjistha and pearl

    Haldi and Manjistha are traditionally used in Ayurveda for an even, bright-looking complexion. Mukta Pishti, a classical preparation of pearl, is known in Ayurveda as cooling.

  3. Light enough for mornings

    Jojoba and almond oil with a little beeswax give comfort without shine, and it absorbs in under a minute. It has no SPF, so follow with sunscreen.

Independently third-party lab-tested

Lab results for this cream

Most brands rely on their manufacturer's in-house tests. This batch was independently third-party lab-tested by Eurofins. Here is what was checked, the safe limit for each, and the result.

Who is Eurofins?

Eurofins is one of the world's largest independent testing companies, with laboratories in over 60 countries. Its lab in Gurugram, India tested a sample from this batch. Manovya™ chose an independent lab instead of relying on in-house testing. Scan the QR code on the full report to verify it with Eurofins directly.

Why test for heavy metals?

Lead, arsenic and cadmium can build up in the body. Some Ayurvedic preparations have been found to contain them, so India's AYUSH rules set safe limits. In this cream, all three were below the smallest amount the test can detect.

Why test for microbes?

Creams contain water, so they can grow bacteria or mould if made or stored badly. The four harmful microbes checked were not found, and the total count was far under the cosmetic safety limit.
