[View full gallery](https://mytribe.in/made_by_ren/custom-gift-hampers/gallery) I do not use big machines or mass production lines. Everything you see here, from the soaps to the face washes, is made right in my kitchen. It is a slow, honest process designed to keep ingredients fresh and your skin healthy. ## Photos and videos - [Video: For a soap maker, molds are a real treasure. Here is my collection, all cleaned, sanitized, and ready for the next batch.

It is not just about protection, it is the final quality check. When I shrink-wrap each soap or box up a kit, I am making sure the product reaching you is exactly the same one I would use on my own family's skin. Everything I make starts with basic, raw ingredients. My formulas rely on Ayurvedic staples like Saffron, Kasturi Manjal, and cold-pressed oils. Because I produce these in micro-batches, I do not need harsh preservatives to keep them shelf-stable for years. This means you are getting products made recently, not items that have been sitting in a warehouse for months. You will see soap molds and mixing bowls in these photos because that is all I use. There are no industrial mixers here. When I create a batch of Ubtan soap or a hair oil, I am physically involved in every step, from blending the herbs to pouring the mixture and hand-cutting the bars. I also run a bottle return campaign because I want to keep my environmental impact low. My kitchen is small, my team is just me, and my philosophy is simple. If I cannot pronounce or understand an ingredient, I will not put it in your bottle. If you have questions about specific plant extracts or how my oils are processed, just send me a message. I am happy to explain exactly how I make them. ## About MadebyRen I am Renuka. My skincare journey did not start with a degree, but with my daughter's refusal to use sticky ubtan during Diwali. Now, I keep things simple, using traditional methods and natural herbs to make products that actually work.
