100% of Company’s Net Profits Benefit Worldwide Service Projects


Los Angeles, CA—February 2010— An innovative entry on the beauty scene is the Shankara BioRegenesis Skin Care System, which includes the gem of the product line: Shankara’s transformational, proprietary Regenesis-Energen BioComplex, core component and catalyst within many of Shankara’s exclusive super-effective skincare solutions.  Whom You Know has been testing these products, and we began with the Hydrating Cleansing Gele.


Here is what our panel thought:



Being a huge skin care fan, I was very excited to receive products from Shankara.  I tried out the Shankara BioRengenesis Skin Care System.  After wearing make-up all day I started out with the Hydrating Cleansing Gele.  Light yellow in color, the Gel was very effective at removing my make-up.  Bonus points for the fact it cleaned off my mascara, which is a task in its self.....it left me with no panda eyes!  The gel foamed and was creamy in texture.  The fresh scent is just delicious.  My skin felt silky and nourished after application and rinse.

The hydrating cleansing gele is definitely one of a kind. I liked it so much that I replaced my old cleanser with it! I normally use it twice a day to give my skin that clean, refreshing feeling. I don’t have to worry about it ever leaving my skin feeling dry because it has a mild and non-irritating formula packed with natural ingredients like oils and herbal extracts. It leaves my skin feeling silky and hydrated every time I use it. Another great catch about this product is that you can use it to effectively remove your makeup! It works wonders. 

Shankara Hydrating Cleansing Gele is a wonderful nourishing product that leaves the skin feeling healthy, moist and soft. The best part is that this product can be used with or without water which is great if you're in a rush. With the all of the natural ingredients that are in Shankara Hydrating Cleansing Gele the skin is kept well balanced and there is no need for toner. If you want your skin to be supple and soft then this is the product that you will need to use. It is also a wonderful product for those who have sensitive skin because its an organic, non-irritating, all natural substance.

Shankara’s Hydrating Cleansing Gele is unlike any other I’ve used.  When I’ve used specialty cleansers in the past, I’ve had mixed results.  Sometimes, my skin was left feeling tight and dry.  Sometimes it was left feeling a little oily, with a glistening look to it.  This Gele is just perfect.  My skin is left feeling clean, but without the drying.  And it’s moist, but without a greasy look or feeling.  This Hydrating Cleansing Gele is everything it promises to be. 

HYDRATING CLEANSING GELE bursts with refreshing aromas once you first uncap it.  Then with only 1/4 teaspoon of this gele it is your pleasure to experience the cleansing effectiveness.  The marvelous mixture of ingredients soothes your face with complete softness.  This  HYDRATING CLEANSING GELE is suitable for dry-normal / and sensitive skin types.  It's suppleness enhances your face with each application.  I will continue to use this invigorating hydrating cleansing gele.

Shankara products combine the best of Western anti-aging skincare advances and the wisdom of ancient Ayurvedic tradition to create a line that provides skin with an unparalleled experience of nutrition, oxygenation, hydration and protection. All of the company’s products are natural, free of parabens, alcohol and they are PETA approved/cruelty free. Almost all products are certified vegan by PETA.




Developed in Shankara’s facility, the Regenesis-Energen BioComplex includes rejuvenating Ayurvedic herbal extracts and monoatomic elements of gold, rhodium and iridium, which are rare super conductors of energy. This unique complex interacts with clinically tested select plant, algae and herb extracts, fulvic electrolytes and peptide complexes as well as specific vegetable-derived adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – nature’s cell energizer. The synergistic impact of the skin-specific nutrients, select cold-processed herbal oil and essential oil blends, active ingredients, and powerful stabilized antioxidants produces a quantum effect in age prevention skin care. 


Along with the newest advances in modern science, Shankara products are based in Ayurveda (which means “the science of life”), a 5,000-year-old system of healing originating in India, from which we derive knowledge of the youth-restoring effects and therapeutic uses of herbs and oils to bring balance to the body, mind and spirit. In Ayurveda, everything can be categorized according to its proportion of the three doshas (basic combinations of the five elements present in nature) including our mind-body (and skin) types. Radiant beauty and health is considered to be an outer reflection of the proper inner balance of the three doshas for our particular constitution.  


The production process of the Shankara skincare line and how the herbs are incorporated is very unique and includes cold processing, which preserves the vitality and nutrients in the products’ raw ingredients, ensuring that the ingredients will not be destroyed by excessive heat, thus safeguarding their effectiveness.


The rejuvenating and balancing herbs of amla, ashwagandha, brahmi and neem, provide the cornerstone foundation of several Shankara formulations. These herbs have been carefully selected for their enhanced ability to deeply purify, repair, renew and protect the skin. Using an enhanced delivery system, powerful stabilized antioxidantsin Shankara’s products quickly penetrate surface layers to catalyze real change, delivering almost immediate topical improvement to your skin while products work to balance conditions from within. All products are pH balanced to protect the delicate acid mantle of the skin. As self manufacturers, Shankara can provide customers with the highest standards of product freshness and integrity.


Layering products according to the absorption rate, is the most effective way to deliver the maximum amount of nutrition to the skin for optimal results. Each Shankara treatment product  is formulated to enhance the activity of the next. Shankara's five-step program nurtures beauty by purifying and refining the skin, restoring balance, regenerating, and delivering nutrients, oxygen, hydration and anti-oxidant protection to the body’s skin cells.


The Shankara product line offers a full range of facial and body care products in both retail and professional sizes including cleansers, exfoliants, moisturizers, rejuvenators, masks, lotions and specialty products like cellulite and blemish support and more. Specialized products for professional use and aromatherapy are also available. Retail prices range from $20 to $53 per product.
As a line that combines Ayurvedic and Western qualities, Shankara products are adaptable within any modality of European or Eastern face and body treatment practice. Distinctive signature spa treatments harmonizing Eastern and Western techniques, customized spa services including menu concept design and customized protocols, and in-depth product training are offered.


In Sanskrit, the name ‘Shankara’  means, ‘Pure Beauty with Fully Blossomed Consciousness’, which reflects the company’s mission to play its role in bringing health and balance to the world. Especially relevant is how all of Shankara’s net profits fund global non-profit humanitarian programs supporting literacy, education, microfinance ventures for women and youth, disaster relief and rehabilitation projects, under the auspices of the International Association for Human Values (IAHV.org). Currently, the IAHV in association with the Art of Living Foundation is responding to the earthquake that has devastated Haiti.


Shankara aspires to help each individual attain inner beauty, outer beauty and the lasting beauty that is the hallmark of healthy balance.
