TCM is rooted in the belief that healthy well-being requires a unique balance of yin and yang and the energy flow within our bodies. When thrown off balance, our skin is the first indicator of distress with pronounced signs of aging, loss of vitality, and increased inflammatory response.
Each Karuna formulation features a carefully selected group of TCM ingredients designed to enhance cleansing, moisturizing or treatment benefits.
Goji berries, known as Gou Qi Zi in TCM, have been incorporated into tonics for over 2,000 years. Traditionally used to strengthen the body's yin and improve eyesight, they’ve recently been used to support immune function and promote healthy aging.
Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola), has been used in TCM for over 2,000 years to promote balance and support wound healing, and boasts modern research on its potential anti-inflammatory and skin health benefits.
Snow mushroom, known as Yin Er in TCM, is an ingredient with a history stretching back centuries. Traditionally used for its hydrating and lung-nourishing properties, modern research has shown great potential benefits for improving overall skin health and immune function.
