I was always interested in the Ayurveda philosophy. It always appeared to make more sense to me and has been in the world for 5,000 years and that's why I wanted to talk with Rachel Warnock who schooled me on Ayurveda and her skin care line that focuses on the benefits of using all natural, PETA certified, organic, herb based ethically sourced products. You should consider that our skin absorbs products we apply to it so why not go for quality and safety.  

Ayurveda: 

Ayurveda, or herbal medicine based in India, is the world's oldest health care system as it stretches back 5,000 years.  Ayurveda aims at balancing the elements in the body and treating the root of the problem. We blend our own lotions, creams, and other topical ointments for a variety of needs.  

Vegan & Cruelty Free products

            We believe in compassion.  Part of why Vedic Botanicals began is because there are an egregious number of things about the status quo of corporate behavior that offend basic human compassion and morale: from the treatment of employees to the treatment of the environment.  Vedic Botanicals set out to be something more, a company that reflects our values as stewards of the earth and members of a larger society.  Among other sustainability practices, we are using plant sourced ingredients instead of animal sourced ingredients.    

We understand that Ayurveda uses milk and honey in many traditional remedies and, in rare occasions, we will use ghee (clarified butter) or honey in our individually prepared, custom-ordered products. However, these are sourced in small quantities from small, local, no-kill farms.  You’ll never see animal sourced ingredients in the pre-made products on our shelves -it wouldn’t be sustainable or ethical to take those ingredients in the bulk required for our business to operate.  

Sustainable Practices

            We believe that profit made at the expense of the Mother Earth is not worth making. It only robs future generations along with the other species sharing this planet with us.  We vet the companies we source our herbs, oils, and packaging materials from -choosing companies with eco-friendly practices to maintain sustainability top to bottom.

Our raw materials are USDA certified organic because, let’s be honest, there’s nothing eco-friendly, sustainable, or healthy about poisoning the soil with pesticides. Occasionally, an ingredient that is difficult to certify is included in a product. These are almost always made from a tree or resin, and thus tricky for the USDA to certify as organic. But this is noted in the description and on the labels, and we are still quite selective in choosing a high grade from a trusted company.
