A House Profile on Amritsar.com
Rituals rooted in Amritsar. Guided by Ayurveda.
A premium topical collection in development for selected UK spas, hotels and boutiques. Inspired by the botanical traditions of Amritsar, each ritual is designed for professional treatment rooms, refined textures and modern cosmetic compliance.
Amritsar, Punjab · Developed for the United Kingdom
Origin
The House of Amritsar begins in the old city, where narrow lanes carry the scent of rose, turmeric and neem and apothecaries have traded in botanical wisdom for generations.
It is the same city that gave the world the Harmandir Sahib, and the same soil that has grown the plants used in Punjabi households for as long as anyone has kept count — amla, shikakai, brahmi, multani mitti, neem. The house takes those materials, documents them, and brings them into a professional treatment room without softening where they came from.
“It is not an aesthetic borrowed from Ayurveda. It is a provenance we can trace to the source.”
The Collection
Skin, scalp and body — designed for considered small-batch production, in amber glass, for professional treatment rooms and refined daily self-care.
Scalp Vitality Oil
A warming pre-wash oil built around the classical hair tonics of Punjab — massaged from the crown outward, left to settle, then cleansed away.
Lightweight Scalp Serum
Brahmi for calm, shikakai for cleanliness — a daily-weight serum for scalps that cannot carry a heavy oil.
Radiance Facial Elixir
The most storied formula in Ayurvedic skincare, rebuilt for a modern treatment room: saffron-led, slow to absorb, worn overnight.
Firming Night Balm
Rasayana means rejuvenation. A dense night balm for the last step of a facial, when the skin should be left undisturbed.
Signature Body Ritual Oil
The signature abhyanga oil — the long, warm, full-body massage that anchors the house treatment menu.
Grounding Body Balm
A grounding balm for the close of a treatment, or for the evening at home when the day needs putting down.
Barrier Comfort Cream
Built for skin under strain — hormonal change, seasonal shift, over-treatment — where comfort matters more than activity.
Purifying Clay Mask
Fuller’s earth and neem, the two most common things in an Amritsar household medicine cupboard, given a professional finish.
Standards
Signature botanicals and ritual inspiration rooted in Amritsar, Punjab — traced to the source rather than borrowed as an aesthetic.
Developed with traditional botanical inspiration, considered formulation methods and modern cosmetic-development standards.
Supplier documentation, batch testing and UK cosmetic safety review are built into the development pathway.
Textures, pacing and packaging are created for professional treatment rooms as well as refined daily self-care.
For Trade
Treatment-room formats, protocol-led rituals and textures that behave predictably under a therapist’s hands through a full-length service.
Wellness amenity and in-room ranges with a provenance story worth telling — a house identity rather than a white label.
Amber glass, restrained typography and a shelf presence built for considered retail rather than volume distribution.

Founder’s Note
“The House of Amritsar was created to translate that connection into a contemporary skincare and spa-ritual collection — developed with rigour, careful sourcing, and respect for the place that has shaped so much of my life’s work.”
Sardara Bains · Founder
Sardara founded Amritsar.com in 1998 and spent almost four decades building technology businesses before the city he had been documenting turned into something he wanted to make.
