AKAR

/’a.kar/ Noun

Root: (literally), the part of the plant, generally underground that anchors and supports the plant body, absorbs and stores water and nutrients.

The Seeds

In 2011, our founder Kate embarked on a life-changing journey to the Tibetan Plateau. She returned with a renewed connection to nature that led her down a path of self-discovery and mindfulness. It ignited a wanderlust for traversing the globe in search of rare ingredients that fuse nature into skincare science.

The Roots

While in Tibet, she was introduced to the wild-crafted Seaberry. A golden fruit that is cherished for its therapeutic skincare properties. The Tibetan locals cold press the berries for their rich golden oil. After experiencing a noticeable improvement in her own sensitive skin, she decided to share its healing benefits by creating Akar.

The Plants

Today, our potent formulas are created from hand foraged SuperFlowers+, SuperPlants+ and SuperFoods+ that feed the skin with nourishing plant actives. We utilize CO2 and cold-pressed extraction methods to protect the beneficial compounds of the plant, ensuring the purest and most effective plant oils and extracts.
