One of the most powerful herbs in Ayurvedic healing, Ashwaganda, also known as Withania Somnifera, is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which helps combat skin inflammation, oxidative stress, and premature ageing. It enhances skin hydration, reduces trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), and promotes a brighter, more even skin tone by decreasing melanin levels.
Ashwagandha may benefit stressed skin, which often shows fine lines, dullness, and breakouts. It’s thought to protect the skin from stress hormones like cortisol and balance natural oil production. With mild antimicrobial and soothing properties, ashwagandha can calm irritated, acne-prone skin, reducing redness and inflammation.
We use Ashwagandha Root sourced from India in The Clean Mousse Cleansing Mask.
