What does Vrikshā stand for?
Vrikshā lets you indulge in plant-rich, natural body care that contain no synthetic colourants, artificial fragrances, alcohol, sulphates, phthalates or parabens.
Vrikshā offers artisanal products that are entirely handcrafted with love and 100% cruelty-free.
For those vivid hues, Vrikshā uses only natural colourants such as moringa, turmeric, activated charcoal, madder root, honey, indigo, alkanet root and rose clay, amongst other herbs and minerals.
For those crisp scents, Vrikshā solely uses dried flowers, herbs and pure essential oils that are obtained through steam distillation of flowers, leaves and roots.
Let these herbs and essential oils, not only nourish and rejuvenate your skin, but also brighten your spirit and calm your mind.
Who started Vrikshā?
Vrikshā began as Mythreyee’s one-woman journey to go “au naturel” and to ditch nasty chemicals and carcinogens in our everyday lives.
An airline pilot by profession, she began researching ingredients used in body care products, to figure out a way to help her husband Deepak, who had developed an allergy that dermatologists couldn’t figure out a reason for nor treat.
This is when she realized that even brands that claim to be natural contain a lot of chemicals with known skin irritabilities & questionable safety ratings.
This includes sulphates to enhance bubbles, parabens to enhance “skin feel”, chemical colours containing arsenic and lead, & synthetic fragrances that are concocted in a lab and simply labelled ‘parfum’ with no chemical composition listed.
After 6 years of skin allergies, Deepak started using her handcrafted body care formulae 4 years ago and has been allergy-free ever since!
