To unlock the secret to achieving radiant, healthy-looking skin, it’s essential to explore the transformative power of adaptogens.

These remarkable ingredients have garnered significant attention in the wellness industry for their ability to help the body regain balance and effectively manage stress. Recently, their effectiveness has made waves in the skincare domain as well. Since both environmental and emotional stressors can accelerate the signs of skin aging, it’s no surprise that these natural remedies are finally being integrated into topical skincare products, providing much-needed support for your skin’s health and vitality.

At LAMAV, we draw inspiration from nature and ancient practices such as Ayurveda, where adaptogens have been revered for centuries. By combining these powerful adaptogens with unique native Australian bio-actives, we have enhanced our formulations to create potent products that deliver transformative results, working at the cellular level to rejuvenate your skin.

Discover some of our most beloved adaptogens and learn why they are essential allies in your skincare journey…

Experience the Benefits of Ashwagandha for Skin Resilience

As one of the most celebrated adaptogens, ashwagandha has a rich history in Ayurvedic medicine spanning thousands of years, primarily recognized for its ability to help the body cope with stress. Its impressive phytochemical composition also makes it a valuable ally for enhancing immunity, promoting heart health, and alleviating inflammation.

Rich in antioxidants, ashwagandha is incorporated topically to stimulate collagen production and protect against free radical damage. It is a vital component of our Bakuchiol 4% Natural Retinol Alternative, specifically formulated to enhance the skin’s structural integrity, slow the aging process, and minimize the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, ashwagandha’s powerful antibacterial and antimicrobial properties make it ideal for those with acne-prone skin, as it effectively reduces blemishes and combats skin inflammation.

Unleash the Skin-Enhancing Powers of Turmeric

You may be familiar with turmeric and its renowned anti-inflammatory properties, particularly when ingested, but its therapeutic benefits extend to topical skincare as well. This vibrant spice is now recognized for its multifaceted advantages in promoting skin health.

As a strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial agent, turmeric is excellent for aiding skin recovery, accelerating wound healing, and alleviating inflammatory skin issues, including acne and psoriasis. Featured in our Glow Beauty Mask, Daily Vitamin C Serum, Rumex Day Cream, and Anti Dark Circle Eye Gel, turmeric brightens the complexion and enhances skin tone and texture—effectively minimizing pigmentation issues for a luminous, clearer complexion.

Additionally, in our new Wellbeing category, we have introduced Turmeric Chips in our Brightening Organic Beauty Tea, specifically designed to reduce skin inflammation while promoting a radiant glow from within.

Harness the Healing Properties of Tulsi for Skin Care

Similar to ashwagandha, tulsi, or ‘holy basil,’ is an adaptogenic herb celebrated for its ability to counteract stress both internally and externally. Its potent anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antibacterial properties make it an exceptional ally for skin healing. Studies reveal that tulsi can effectively combat free radical damage—an essential factor in skin aging—and also assist in reducing pigmentation.

We incorporate tulsi into our Bakuchiol 4% Natural Retinol Alternative for its protective attributes—this antioxidant-rich formulation supports skin structure, diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and soothes inflammation, promoting healthier and younger-looking skin.

Revitalize Your Skin with Gotu Kola’s Age-Defying Benefits

Although gotu kola may not be as widely recognized as ashwagandha or tulsi, this remarkable herb is lauded for its powerful age-defying properties. Often referred to as the ‘herb of longevity,’ the terpenoids found in gotu kola contribute to its therapeutic advantages. This adaptogen enhances skin integrity and stimulates collagen synthesis, leading to firmer, tighter skin, improved wound healing, and reduced inflammation.
To harness its anti-aging benefits, we have integrated this nourishing ingredient into our Brightening Organic Beauty Tea, which synergistically revitalizes dull, lackluster skin and encourages collagen production for a rejuvenated appearance.

Discover the Youthful Glow with Ginseng’s Anti-Aging Power

Another remarkable adaptogen known for its exceptional anti-aging properties is ginseng, which has been utilized in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. Research highlights its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capabilities, which can significantly enhance skin tone, texture, boost collagen production, support skin hydration, and diminish the effects of photo-aging and UV-induced skin damage. This makes ginseng an indispensable ingredient in our Bakuchiol 4% Natural Retinol Alternative, suitable for all skin types, including mature and sensitive skin.
