Ayurveda was founded in the Himalayas and is based on a holistic knowledge of plants and their therapeutic properties. The word 'Ayurveda' is Sanskrit and derived from two roots: ‘ayur’ meaning life, and ‘veda’ meaning knowledge. We at Urban Veda believe in the philosophies of Ayurveda.

In Ayurveda, five elements compose everything in the universe. These elements are ether, air, fire, water and earth. All in all, these elements combine to create three doshas: vata (air and ether), pitta (water and fire), and kapha (water and earth).
Furthermore traditionally neem helps to alleviate both kapha and pitta imbalances in the skin.
Neem is an excellent natural ingredient for those who have excess skin oils (sebum). We at Urban Veda use cold-pressed pure neem within our multi-award-winning Purifying range. Our Purifying range focuses on detoxifying your skin.
