Discovering Mauli Rituals: Ayurvedic Skincare That Feels Like Self‑Care

Mauli Rituals skincare

Happy new month! There’s something so uplifting about starting fresh with a simple ritual — taking a moment to pause, breathe, and care for the skin we’ve been blessed with. Lately, I’ve been indulging in a lovely Ayurvedic routine from Mauli Rituals, a brand inspired by ancient plant wisdom and celebrated for its all‑natural, nutrient-rich formulas that cleanse, revive, and deeply nourish. Each product feels purposeful and grounding, designed to restore balance not only to the skin but to the whole self.

The brand’s name itself holds deep significance: Mauli (मौलि)[more-lee] noun – a wish for your wellbeing.


Mauli Rituals is rooted in deep heritage. Founded by Anita and Bittu Kaushal, the brand was born out of a personal journey of healing and loss. Drawing on generations of Ayurvedic knowledge from their family—including Ayurvedic doctors and herbalists—Mauli creates products that aim to bring balance to modern, stressful lives. They focus on the entire being, using botanicals, adaptogens, and therapeutic oils designed to nurture your whole body.

Over the past month, I’ve been using four of their bestselling skincare essentials: Supreme Skin Hydrating Mist, Rose & Saffron Radiance Mask, Supreme Skin Face Serum, and Lotus & Bakuchi Skin Harmony Cream.

Mauli Rituals skincare

What truly sets Mauli apart is their commitment to science-backed, synergistic wellness. Their award-winning blends harness four distinct elements:

  • Botanicals: Used to rejuvenate, repair, and nourish the skin.
  • Adaptogens: Included to diminish stress and strengthen the body both physically and mentally.
  • Therapeutic/Neurocosmetics: These work to enhance emotions through olfactory responses, which in turn improves the skin’s appearance.
  • Nootropics: Formulated to enhance mental cognition.

Their products are free from nasties—including synthetic fragrances, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, palm oil, sulphates, propylene glycol, phthalates, GMO, PEGs, TEA, and DEA—and are never tested on animals.

In keeping with tradition, every Mauli Rituals product includes a sacred red thread nestled inside a message card bearing a beautiful note:

A sacred red thread known as Mauli forms an integral part of Ayurvedic blessing rituals, serving as a symbol of protection, connection, and a wish for wellbeing for the recipient. Please accept Mauli as an expression of devotion. Each time you see Mauli, either on our wrists or in the form of our sacred plant remedies, let it remind you to nurture yourself and just be.

Ritual

Mix one spoon with water, rose water or your daily cleanser and massage over wet face and neck; rinse and pat dry.

For a weekly deeply detoxing face mask, mix 2-3 spoons with water to form a thick paste. Apply to face and neck and leave to dry. Wash off using our muslin cloth or just water.

Texture, Scent & Performance

This is a dry, powder-based mask. The application feels like a mini-apothecary session, as you mix it yourself to create a fresh, clay-like paste.

I love that this mask is truly versatile, and I’ve found a rhythm that works beautifully for my sensitive, hormonal skin — I alternate between using it as a gentle exfoliant during the week and as a deeper detox mask once a week.

The scent is intoxicatingly warm and luxurious, reminiscent of traditional incense imagine crushed rose petals, warm saffron, and a hint of honeyed spice. It is easy to remove, simply soften with warm water and gently rinse away, or use the included muslin cloth for a spa‑like finish.

It keeps my skin incredibly smooth, bright, balanced, and calm after each use.


Supreme Skin Hydrating Mist

Using this immediately after rinsing off the mask is pure bliss. It is a fine, lightweight spray that settles instantly onto the skin, providing a cooling, refreshing sensation that instantly hydrates and calms my skin.

The scent is beautifully balanced — soft, dewy floral notes lifted with a hint of fresh herbal greenness, creating an aroma that feels both calming and uplifting.

It is perfect as a sensory pick-me-up throughout the day, especially during this current heat wave, and is fantastic for refreshing makeup.

Texture, Scent & Performance

This is Mauli’s cult favourite — and I can absolutely see why. From the very first use, I was genuinely impressed. It’s the kind of serum that feels like a warm blanket for the skin.

I warm 2–3 drops between my palms and take a moment to inhale the beautifully balanced aroma — soft floral notes with a touch of citrus and woody‑herbal warmth — before pressing it into my skin. The texture is a lightweight, silky oil‑serum that melts beautifully into my skin without any heaviness.

My skin barrier has noticeably improved—it’s softer, more hydrated, plumper, calmer, and has a natural, healthy glow that lasts all day. It feels instantly nourished and comforted, giving me that rare “oh wow, this is actually working” feeling from day one.


Lotus & Bakuchi Skin Harmony Cream

The texture is soft, creamy and buttery, yet surprisingly sinking in effortlessly without any greasiness. It layers perfectly over the serum leaving my skin instantly plumped, hydrated, and supple with a smooth, velvety finish. The scent is a blend of gentle florals and grounding woody‑herbal warmth.

I’m loving the improvement in my skin. It looks brighter overall, and the texture feels so much smoother and more refined.
