From Nature to Nurture: The Journey of Creating Chemical-Free Soaps with Santva
In our contemporary world, characterized by the relentless pursuit of progress and convenience, there's a growing movement toward embracing the simplicity and purity of nature. This shift is particularly evident in the realm of skincare, where consumers are increasingly turning to chemical-free alternatives that honor the body and the environment. At the forefront of this movement is Santva, a brand that embodies the essence of nature in its handcrafted, chemical-free soaps.
Embarking on Your Natural Journey: The Birth of Santva
At Santva, our story is one of passion, resilience, and a deep-rooted connection to nature. Founded by a mother-daughter duo, our journey into the world of skincare was inspired by a profound belief in the power of natural ingredients and the desire to redefine traditional beauty standards. Our mission? To create something truly extraordinary – handcrafted, chemical-free soaps that not only nourish the skin but also celebrate the timeless wisdom of nature.
Our founder, Jigna Shah, embodies the essence of Santva's ethos. A successful beautician by profession, Jigna made the courageous decision to put her career on hold to prioritize her family. Despite stepping away from the limelight, her entrepreneurial spirit continued to burn brightly. She honed her skills in natural skincare, cooking, and yoga, all while instilling in her daughters the values of strength, determination, and financial independence.
Breaking Barriers and Creating Opportunities
For Jigna, the journey back to entrepreneurship was not just about personal ambition; it was about empowering women like herself who face societal pressures, gender bias, and the challenge of balancing multiple responsibilities. It was about breaking barriers and creating opportunities for those who dare to dream.
Chinmayee, with a background in biotechnology, blends Ayurvedic wisdom with modern science, ensuring Santva's products are both effective and rooted in nature's healing power. Kairavee, an innovative entrepreneur with a background in IT, spearheads Santva's e-commerce strategies and operational growth as the COO, building upon her mother's legacy. Faced with the challenge of finding a soap that is gentle on the skin, and free from irritation and allergies, Jigna, Chinmayee, and Kairavee embarked on a mission to develop a chemical-free, natural alternative.
Trusting in the Power of Nature
Formulated with the best ingredients, and backed by science, Santva's holistic products combine the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with modern scientific advancements to create effective and natural skincare solutions. We use pure vegetable oils & butter, glycerin, earth clays, ayurvedic powders, and extracts to formulate our soaps, many of which are homemade or sourced from the plants in our backyard!
The decision to create chemical-free soaps stemmed from a deep-rooted belief in the power of nature and a commitment to sustainability. Santva understands that true beauty begins with nurturing, not harming, the skin. Chemical-laden products often strip away the skin's natural oils and disrupt its delicate balance. By opting for natural ingredients, Santva aims to provide a nourishing experience that respects both the skin and the environment.
Our ingredients are premium and high quality, sourced from authentic, certified Ayurvedic and aromatherapy stores from all over India. With a commitment to sourcing the most natural ingredients from authentic and trusted sources, spanning from the deep-rooted essence of Kashmir to the farthest corners of Kerala, Jigna, Chinmayee, and Kairavee leave no stone unturned in their quest to source only the most natural ingredients from the trusted and authentic places only.
We firmly believe that if you wouldn't eat it, don't put it on your skin.

The Essence of Ayurveda: Ancient Wisdom in Modern Skincare
Central to Santva's philosophy is the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda – the science of life. Ayurveda teaches us that true beauty is more than skin deep; it's a reflection of inner harmony and balance. That's why each ingredient in our soaps is chosen not just for its cosmetic benefits but also for its holistic healing properties. By incorporating Ayurvedic principles into our formulations, we strive to create products that not only enhance outer beauty but also promote overall well-being.
But our commitment to Ayurveda goes beyond just incorporating ancient herbs into our formulations. It's about honoring a timeless tradition that celebrates the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. It's about recognizing that true beauty is a reflection of inner harmony and balance – a harmony that can only be achieved by living in harmony with nature.
In the journey from nature to nurture, Santva offers a beacon of hope and healing. Their handcrafted, chemical-free soaps embody the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda and the nurturing power of nature. By prioritizing quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability, Santva sets a new standard for skincare that honors both the body and the environment. As we embrace Santva's products, we embark on a journey of holistic wellness, where the gentle touch of nature guides us towards radiant skin and inner harmony.
