Pronounced: chun-dra · Sanskrit for "the moon" — that which illuminates in darkness

Chandra is a supercritical Babchi night serum — Ayurveda's answer to retinol, without the irritation, peeling or sensitivity that comes with it.

Babchi (Bakuchiol) is a botanical compound that has been documented in Ayurvedic practice for centuries and is now validated by modern clinical research to perform comparably to retinol — stimulating cell renewal, reducing fine lines, and evening skin tone without disrupting the skin barrier.

Apply every evening as the first treatment step after misting. Layer Cāru face oil on top for the complete rasā night ritual.

Consistent use for 21 days will show significant results.

Artisan crafted in India. Consciously and sustainably sourced.

Why I made this

Cāru was the first product I made for myself. It still is.

When I started researching clean beauty, saffron kept appearing — in ancient Ayurvedic texts, in modern clinical studies, in my grandmother's kitchen rituals. The more I understood about supercritical extraction, the more I understood why. This method preserves what heat and solvents destroy. The result is an oil that absorbs like a serum and works like nothing I had found on any shelf.

"I use Cāru every evening. That's not marketing. That's what happens when you stop fighting your skin and start listening to it."

WHAT'S INSIDE

Key Ingredients - and why they're there

Every ingredient in Cāru was chosen for a reason. Nothing is here for texture, marketing, or filler.

Hero Ingredient

Supercritical Saffron (Crocus sativus)

Extracted without heat or solvents — preserving full potency of crocin, safranal and picrocrocin. Brightens, evens tone, fights oxidative stress at the cellular level.

Vitamin A source

Supercritical Rosehip

Rich in Vitamin A and essential fatty acids. Supports natural collagen synthesis and visibly reduces fine lines with consistent use.

omega 7 rich

Supercritical Sea Buckthorn

One of nature's richest Omega 7 sources. Deeply nourishing, repairs the skin barrier, and imparts the golden glow Cāru is known for.

rasā's signature

Rosa Damascena (Damask Rose)

The fading petal behind Rasa's brand colour. Anti-inflammatory, deeply hydrating, one of the most studied botanicals in Ayurvedic skincare.

Cāru works best as part of a ritual, not alone.

Layer these products in order for the full Rasa evening ritual. Each one prepares your skin for the next.

1 Cleanse — Mrjā

Remove the day with Mrjā cleansing paste or your preferred Rasa cleanser.

2 Mist — Rosa Damascena Hydrosol

Apply Rosa Damascena hydrosol to damp skin. This is an essential step as it primes your skin to receive the oil.

3 Treat — Chandra Night Serum

Warm 3–4 drops between your palms. Press gently into face and neck. Do not rub.

4 Nourish — Cāru

Cāru works overnight. Wake up to skin that looks rested, replenished and quietly radiant.

Ayurveda doesn't rush. Consistent use for 21 days will show significant results. Trust the process.
