A very warm welcome to the Rasasara Skinfood range, online store and shop.

‘Rasasara’ is a Sanskrit word that translates literally as ‘the skin’, also known in Ayurveda as ‘the cream which rises to the top’ — that is, the by-product of all that we consume emotionally, orally and through the skin dermis.

Over 25 years ago, I directly experienced the beneficial results of Ayurvedic preparations in healing my own skin. At the time I was suffering from acne rosacea and, as a result, my self-esteem was also suffering.

After I healed my own skin, I felt so much better about myself. With a deep awareness of how much discomfort our skin can cause us, and how difficult skin concerns can sometimes be to resolve with regular skincare routines, I began assisting others on their own skin-healing journeys.

Time and time again, I watched with a deep sense of satisfaction as the skin concerns of friends and family were consistently and relatively easily resolved.

In 2003, the Rasasara Skinfood range was launched — handmade, edible, organic, wildcrafted and cruelty-free accredited skin and hair care. Straight away, we were stocked by some of my favourite health food stores in inner-city Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

More than two decades later, we’re still here, holding space for these beautiful products, making them for our wonderful and incredibly loyal customers, and for all those yet to discover them.

In May 2026, a long-held dream became a reality when we opened the doors to the Rasasara shop — creating a physical home for Rasasara and a place where our community can experience the range, connect with us in person and explore Ayurveda more deeply. It marks a beautiful new chapter in a story that began with one person’s experience of healing her own skin.

At the heart of Rasasara is the intention to promote wellness, long life, beauty and the Ayurvedic knowledge of how to achieve this.

We hope that Rasasara products, and the intention underpinning them, inspire you to do the best you possibly can to care for yourself, the people you love and the land you live on.

At the heart of Ayurveda is the understanding that it’s the little things we do every day that have the biggest impact on our health and our world.

Whenever you choose organic, natural, edible skincare and haircare products in refillable glass bottles with recyclable caps, you become a protector of the land, the water, your community and your health — a powerful acknowledgement of how deeply you care, and of your individual power to make a difference.

With Love,
Sonia & the Rasasara Team..x
