Skincare: Himalaya skincare products with plant extracts

Himalaya is an Indian brand with a long tradition of products based on plants and herbs. In addition to herbal supplements, the brand offers an extensive range of skincare products for the face, body, lips and mouth, in which plant extracts play a central role.

In our range you will find cleansers, scrubs, masks, creams, lip balms, soap and toothpaste. These are cosmetic products for external use; they are not dietary supplements.

Which products can you find in this collection?

The collection includes face washes and foaming facial cleansers (Purifying Neem, Rose Radiance, Moisturizing Aloe Vera and Charcoal), facial scrubs with neem, apricot or charcoal, the Purifying Neem Mask, creams such as Nourishing Skin Cream, Intensive Moisturizing Cream, Olive Extra Nourishing Cream and Multipurpose Cream, the Nourishing Hand Cream and Foot Care Cream, lip balms, soap and the Ayurvedic Dental Cream.

Facial cleansing: face wash, scrub and mask

You use a face wash daily, in the morning and evening, to remove makeup, sebum and dirt. A foaming variant feels fresher, while a non-foaming variant is slightly gentler. A scrub contains fine particles, for example from apricot kernels, and is used once or twice a week. You apply a mask to the cleansed skin and rinse it off after a few minutes.

Creams for the face, hands and feet

Himalaya offers creams for different parts of the body. The Nourishing Skin Cream and Intensive Moisturizing Cream are intended for the face and body, while the Olive Extra Nourishing Cream has a richer texture for dry skin. The Nourishing Hand Cream and Foot Care Cream are specially formulated for hands and feet. The Multipurpose Cream comes in a small tube for various areas.

Lip balm, soap and toothpaste

Himalaya lip balms are available in several variants, such as with cocoa butter or with strawberry flavour and a glossy finish. The soaps contain plant extracts such as neem and turmeric or almond. The Ayurvedic Dental Cream is a herbal toothpaste with natural fluoride.

Plant extracts in Himalaya skincare

Many Himalaya products are based on one or more plant extracts. Neem (Azadirachta indica) comes from Ayurveda and is used in the cleansing range. Aloe vera provides a fresh, soothing texture. Rose, olive, almond, cocoa butter and apricot are classic ingredients in skincare cosmetics. The full list of ingredients (INCI) is on the packaging.

Which product is right for your skin?

For normal to combination skin, the Neem products and the Charcoal range are an obvious choice. Dry skin benefits from a gentle cleanser such as the Aloe Vera or Rose Radiance face wash, combined with a richer cream. If in doubt, start with a gentle cleanser and a light cream and adjust your routine based on how your skin reacts.

Usage and tips

Use the products externally only and according to the instructions on the packaging. Avoid contact with the eyes; rinse with lukewarm water if contact occurs. For sensitive skin, test a new product on a small area of skin first. Store the products tightly closed, at room temperature and out of reach of children.
