Saroya is an artisan, bespoke skin care line based in Northern California. The Saroya philosophy is to first teach clients how to make good skin care a lasting habit. Products are then recommended based on the philosophy of minimalism - focus on the essentials, eliminate the rest. Simple and nutritious raw material like home grown or locally grown flowers, fruit, spices, and oils are transformed into effective and luxurious skin care products that are customized for clients.
Products are formulated for common skin issues like very dry, eczema prone skin, adolescent acne problems, and mature skin that is losing luster based on scientific research and testing on humans.
Saroya believes in total transparency. In my blog, I will take you through my thought process on how I choose the ingredients I do, and provide guidance on how to choose skin care products, how they are labeled and marketed,and some general principles behind effective skin care. You will not be green washed here!

Meet the maker: Sandhya Gopalakrishnan is a mom to two wonderful girls who are the inspiration for Saroya because of her intense desire for them to have baby soft skin forever.
In 2015, Sandhya embarked on a path to revamp her lifestyle for optimal health after suffering a burnout when she hit 40. Overwhelmed by family, career, and other things that hit women mid-life (read changing hormones), she started by changing food habits for herself and her family which led to the examination of all the other products in her home. Sandhya ventured into making skincare and cosmetic products in her kitchen and to her delight, found the experience to be rewarding and creative. She draws heavily on her Indian heritage, a fascination with flowers, and a doctoral degree in chemistry when formulating products. Her mission is to help women of color radiate beauty, naturally.
