Hey there! My name is Arti, and I’m the founder of Clay Lotus. Those who know me well will tell you that there was a time I was willing to put anything on my skin if it would help with my acne. I was like a mad scientist with all the self-experimenting I did – I tried the latest ‘wonder’ products from fancy name brands, saw dermatologists and tried a bunch of medications.

But nothing seemed to do the trick.

Even when something did, it left my skin raw, sensitive, and irritated. When I started reading the ingredient lists and saw all these complex names I couldn’t even pronounce I worried what damage it could be doing to my skin. The final straw came when I was working as a skin care advisor for a major cosmetics company and testing one of their latest facial cleansers. A colleague told me to try it on my nail polish, and when I did, I was in utter shock – it was so
harsh it wiped my nail clean!

That’s when I decided to go on my own skin care journey.  I started looking for natural alternatives but soon found out that companies could claim to be "natural" products, when only 1% of the ingredients were actually natural! And they still hid all the strong artificial chemicals, drying alcohols, dyes, synthetics and cheap fillers behind these labels.

In the end, I decided to take matters into my own hands and created Clay Lotus. I threw out hundreds of dollars’ worth of so-called "skincare" products and got down to some serious research. I delved into natural remedies, researched the scientific properties of each ingredient and combined it with time tested traditional Ayurvedic treatments to create something new, yet timeless.  

After seeing how great the results were for my skin I shared them with friends and family with the same results - skin that looked and felt and looked better than ever – clear, calm, and radiant and perfectly in harmony with nature.
