The
Story of Akasha

the essence of  nature
 

"AKASHA - the essence of nature " was launched in 2015. It is an aromatic, organic skincare line crafted with the highest quality of organic essential oils and botanicals, made with superior craftsmanship. It is the story of two childhood friends living in San Francisco and South of France, braiding together ancient skincare culture and wisdom with the latest science of plant-based oils for today's needs. AKASHA offers elegant and healthy daily skincare rituals. It is poetry for your skin.

Sustainable, pure, responsibly sourced, biodegradable, healthy, non-toxic, and don't use synthetics or additives

WHAT

Love HEALTHY skin

WHERE

San Francisco; South of France

Sustainability is a core tenet in all of our Works. This, while challenging, is fundamental to our values of promoting a beautiful future. We don’t use synthetics and additives. We maintain this principle while using ingenuity and artistry to create fascinating, varied, and well-structured olfactory designs that can meet the expectations of modern consumers yet avoid the many synthetics and additives that undermine our shared sense of what nature can do. We are committed to making products that are clean, safe, and pure, and can continue to be made for centuries without disturbing or compromising the environment or the wellbeing of those using or exposed to them in any way.

AKASHA SKINCARE

All of our ingredients are:

 

Organic - we only use organic and wild-crafted botanical ingredients in all of our products

 

Freshly made - we do not add any preservatives

 

Water conscious - our processes involve a minimum amount of water. Essential Oils are mixed and diluted in natural carriers with no water. We pride ourselves on achieving longevity in our perfumes without relying on synthetic musks, many of which are non-biodegradable and pose a huge risk to clean water.

 

California made - our fragrances are developed and produced in San Francisco, California

 

Supporting small farmers- as all-natural perfumers, we buy materials that are sourced across the world from small farmers, including in many developing nations. We support charities concerned with Fair Trade, Clean Water, and the Education of Girls in such nations.

 

Vegan and cruelty-free - our products are made exclusively with plant-derived materials. Classic perfumery ingredients such as deer musk, civet, or Cestrum are entirely unacceptable to us, as are synthetic substitutes. Our quest is to match the seductive and satisfying quality of great classic fragrances without using such ingredients.

 

Forest friendly- we only source ingredients that are sustainably farmed to avoid contributing to deforestation.

 

Reducing waste - we strive to minimize the use of plastics in our product and packaging
