Shankara’s Natural, Anti-Aging BioRegenesis Skincare Line Merges Western Science with Ancient Wisdom of Ayurveda. Whom You Know Recommends the Micro Exfoliation Treatment

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 next tried the Micro Exfoliation Treatment.

Here is what our panel thought:

Next up,  I was excited to then try the Micro Exfoliation Treatment.  Note to self, try your damp hands first before trying to open a jar!  The color reminded me of Coleman's Mustard.  It has a sandy texture to it.  I applied 1/2 teaspoon to my face and neck.  For 2 minutes I gently exfoliated my skin.  Instantly my fine lines had diminished.  Deeper lines had lessened.  You feel a wonderful tingly sensation to your skin.  It smelt fresh and lemony.  After rinsing off my face, I used a little on the back of my hands.  We all know your hands can give away your age, they are just as important as your face.

I’m really big on skincare, and like to use exfoliate my skin at least twice a week. A major problem that I have encountered with some of the exfoliation treatments is that they can be too rough on the skin. Some were too fragile, and I felt like they weren’t doing the job they were devised to do. However, the Shankara exfoliation treatment was able to leave my skin feeling revitalized without the unnecessary irritating effects. I also loved how this product seemed to give my skin an instant lift, after just one use. You definitely can’t skip out on moisturizing your face after, and I highly recommend following up with Shankara’s Ayurveda-Energen Facial Oil II.  

Shankara Microcrystal Exfoliation Treatment gives the same professional results as a visit to your local spa or plastic surgeons office. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars in salons or Dr.'s offices this product helps keep your face feeling smooth and clear. It also helps prevent the look of dull looking skin. Shankara Microcrystal Exfoliation Treatment helps give your skin a more youthful appearance by evening out wrinkles and fine lines. This product also takes care of balancing out your skin tone and texture. The ultra fine crystals will not damage your skin tissues and helps keep it's natural texture.

MICROCRYSTAL EXFOLIATION TREATMENT is made cruelty free and vegan.  Suitable for all skin types this exfoliation treatment is easy to apply.  You only have to use 1/4 teaspoon of this gel on wet skin (or 1/2 teaspoon for more intense exfoliation).  I was a little sceptical to use it on my "already" dry, chapped hands.  However after just the first application this wonderful product exfoliated away my dry, dead skin cells leaving my hands touchably soft.  Thanks Shankara!  

I love this step in the Shankara facial line.  This Microcrystal Exfoliation Treatment is one step in the process, but after just one use, I could feel and see the difference.  Fine lines around my eyes seemed to disappear in an instant and my skin was just smoother all around.  I’ve struggled for many years with discolorations around my nose and chin due to acne and I’m confident this is the product that’s going to make the difference.  Just a week in, and I’m seeing results!  Shankara’s Microcrystal Exfoliation Treatment is a miracle product.

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.
