Shata-Dhauta Ghrita is the oldest cream in Ayurveda — clarified butter washed 108 times in cool water, in a copper vessel, by hand.
The preparation is named in the Charaka Samhita and the Sushruta Samhita and has not changed. Shata, one hundred. Dhauta, washed. Ghrita, ghee.
Over the course of the wash, the ghee changes. It lightens. It pales. It aerates. What begins as dense golden ghee finishes as a soft, white, whipped cream — cool to the touch, weightless on the skin, holding none of the heaviness of its source.
For skin that runs hot. After sun. Under the eyes. Wherever the surface asks to be cooled.
One ingredient. 108 washes. Cool water. Copper vessel. By hand.

HOW TO USE
Apply a small amount to clean skin.
The cream melts on contact and absorbs without residue.
For face: press gently into damp skin after cleansing or after sun.
For under-eye: warm a small amount on the fingertip and tap into place.
For body: apply to areas that run hot, feel inflamed, or have been exposed to heat.
Store below 20°C, away from direct light.
The cream may firm slightly in cooler conditions — warmth of the hand returns it.
