Sustainability

We prioritise the highest levels of natural and ethical purity in every ingredient. Our Rose Damascena is found in many ilā products. Sourced from the lush foothills of the Himalayas and grown and distilled by Ankur and his family, our rose oil is made following a centuries-old tradition passed down through generations.

Beyond its captivating aroma, this flower contains a rich array of bioactive compounds — including flavonoids, phenolic acids, terpenes, and vitamins — that offer remarkable skin benefits.

We source our Shea Butter directly from JilimaCoop, a women's charity cooperative in Northern Ghana. This initiative provides a dedicated space where women can work together, shre knowledge, and access better opportunities. 

By supporting fair trade practices, JilimaCoop empowers these women to gain financial independence, support their families, and strenghten their community. 

Every purchase of our Body Balm for Feeding Skin & Senses - including yours - helps sustain this initiative, ensuring that these skilled artisans recieve fair compensation for their craft. More than just an ingredient, our Shea Butter carries stories, resillience and empowerment of the women who create it.

Sacred salt of the Himalayas. Our Himalayan Salts are gathered with reverence from the foothills of the Hunza Valley - a place where mountains meet sky, and ancient wisdomstill guides daily life. 

This salt is more than mineral-rich crystals. It is a source of sustenance, dignity, and independence for the tribal women we work with a project founded by HH Princess Allia. By harvesting, pressing apricots, and selling these gifts of the land, the women are now able to support their families, access healthcare, and send their children to school. 

When you soak in ilā's bath salts, you are recieving not only the healing vibration of the Himalayas, but also becoming a greater circle of care - for the people anf for the planet.
