Pitta Body Lotion, 200ml | for sensitive, reactive, normal, or heat-prone skin

Cooling Care for sensitive, reactive, normal, or heat-prone skin

Maharishi Ayurveda Pitta Body Lotion is a velvety natural moisturiser developed for normal and sensitive skin. Its gentle formula combines aloe vera, sweet almond oil, shea butter and essential fatty acids with traditional Ayurvedic extracts of sandalwood, vetiver, blue water lily, priyangu and sacred fig.

Inspired by cooling Pitta body care, the lotion helps moisturise, soften and comfort the skin without an excessively heavy feel. Pure ylang-ylang essential oil provides an exotic floral fragrance, transforming everyday moisturising into a soothing Ayurvedic ritual.

Main benefits

1. Cools & Soothes Sensitivity
   • Pitta skin types tend to run warm and react quickly to environmental stressors like heat, sunlight, or harsh weather.
   • Formulated with traditional cooling herbs – such as Santalum Album (Sandalwood), Vetiver, Nymphaea Stellata (Water Lily), and Aloe Vera – the lotion calms heat-aggravated skin and reduces visible redness and irritation.
2. Lightweight, Non-Greasy Hydration
   • Unlike heavier body creams or thick abhyanga oils, this lotion delivers deep moisture without leaving a greasy or heavy residue.
   • Ingredients like Almond Oil, Shea Butter, and Sunflower Seed Oil restore the skin barrier while keeping texture smooth and breathable.
3. Nourishes & Fortifies Skin Health
   • Packed with natural Vitamin E and essential fatty acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6)
   • Replenishes lost nutrients, strengthens the skin barrier against environmental wear, and helps maintain a soft, supple feel.
4. Aromatherapeutic Aromas to Balance Pitta
   • In Ayurveda, fragrance directly influences the doshas.
   • The lotion features pure essential oils like Ylang-Ylang, giving it an exotic floral, calming scent that relaxes both the senses and the nervous system – further helping to reduce Pitta-related stress.
5. Pure & Natural Ingredients
   • Himalayan Water Source: Uses pure, mineral-rich Himalayan water as its hydration base.
   • Clean Standards: BDIH/COSMOS-certified natural cosmetic, free from synthetic parabens, harsh chemicals, or artificial dyes.
