FEEL BEAUTIFUL IN YOUR SKIN, EVERY DAY.

MANJULA Essentials is a line of natural, Ayurvedic self-care products crafted to soothe sensitive skin and repair hair.  

Coping with eczema since infancy, I became extremely conscious of my skin and its erratic fluctuations. This heightened awareness of my body led me to explore oil-based skincare with natural ingredients, as applying steroid-filled ointments just weren’t a viable long term option for me.

As a genderless brand designed for sensitive skin, our focus lies in simplicity and multi-functionality, creating versatile products that cater to your unique needs.

We're the antidote to noise, disconnection, and inhibition. Consider each MANJULA application as an invitation to embrace your curiosity and cultivate lasting confidence so you can be exactly who you need to be today.

ROOTED IN HERITAGE.

Throughout my life, the act of applying oil onto my face, hair, and body has been so much more than just a routine, it’s a cherished ritual that reconnects me to the present moment, and the women in my family.

Inspired by the daily practices of my mother and grandmother, this brand was born from a deep desire to honour my lineage and South Asian heritage, beyond the parameters of photography. Choosing her name–Manjula–to represent our brand is my tribute to her.

Our line is formulated by myself, my mother (an Ayurvedic practitioner) and a team of trusted Canadian cosmetic chemists. With each product carefully formulated to authentically embody traditional Ayurvedic principles and classical formulations used for over five centuries.

As an interdisciplinary artist, I wish to revolutionize the way people understand self-care. Blending art, wellness, and heritage together, MANJULA is a multifaceted, community-based space to learn, explore, and unabashedly express.

This project is a true love letter to my maternal lineage and a legacy I’m proud to share with the world.
