A lightweight Ayurvedic day cream infused with Kumkumadi, Rose, and Haldi to hydrate, brighten, and refine the skin. Created to make The Pause of Queens™ part of your everyday morning ceremony.
Begin your morning with cleansed skin. Take a small pearl of Rasa Origins Day Cream and warm it lightly between your fingertips. Sweep it over the face and neck in slow upward motions, allowing the cream to settle into the skin before sunscreen.
Let this be your morning ceremony for skin that seeks nourishment, clarity, and a soft luminous finish through the day.
Each Manovya™ formulation is crafted to be experienced at its finest within 24 months from the date of manufacture. Once opened, we recommend using it within 6 months, while the texture, aroma, and sensorial richness remain beautifully intact.
Every Manovya™ product carries a purpose beyond skincare. A portion of every purchase supports social initiatives focused on education, elderly care, food, animal welfare, and essential needs, creating a lasting impact beyond every ceremony.

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.

Rasa Origins Day Cream is made with gentle botanicals like Rose Water and Sandalwood Oil. However, it also includes traditional actives such as Tankan Bhasma and Manjistha, so individuals with highly reactive skin may prefer conducting a patch test first.
