Vata Body Lotion, 200ml | deep & lasting hydration, restores moisture barrier, fast-absorbing & non-greasy

Comforting care for normal to dry skin

Maharishi Ayurveda Vata Body Lotion is a velvety, natural body moisturiser created especially for normal to dry skin. Its nourishing formula combines aloe vera, sweet almond oil, shea butter and essential fatty acids with traditional Ayurvedic botanicals including shatavari, bala and ashwagandha.

The lotion absorbs into the skin to leave it feeling soft, smooth and comfortably moisturised. Pure essential orange oil provides a fresh, naturally fruity fragrance, making it an uplifting addition to a daily Ayurvedic body-care routine.

Main benefits

• Deep & Lasting Hydration: Enriched with organic sweet almond oil, shea butter, and sunflower seed oil, it penetrates deeply to lock in moisture, smoothing dry or flaking patches.
• Calms & Pacifies Vata Dosha: Traditional Vata-balancing herbal extracts – such as Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Bala (Country Mallow), Shankhpushpi, and Sacred Fig – help nourish fatigued tissue, promote elasticity, and reduce skin restlessness.
• Restores Moisture Barrier: Contains Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, and essential Omega-3 & Omega-6 fatty acids to support natural lipid production, protecting against harsh wind and dry air.
• Fast-Absorbing & Non-Greasy: Despite rich moisturising oils, the formula absorbs quickly, leaving the skin soft, supple, and velvety without a heavy residue.
• Uplifting & Grounding Aroma: Scented with 100% natural pure orange essential oil, offering a soothing aroma that calms an overactive nervous system.
• Certified Natural & Pure: Free from synthetic fragrances and harsh additives, certified natural (BDIH / COSMOS Natural standard), and formulated with pure Himalayan water.
