Handmade Ayurvedic Soaps for Glowing Skin
I handcraft every bar in small batches using traditional Ayurvedic herbs and gentle, plant-based ingredients. Simple care, no nasties—just good skin.

My Honey Manjishtha soap is a blemish reducer and acne fighter. Manjishtha is a powerful Ayurvedic herb that purifies the skin, while honey acts as a natural humectant to moisturize.

About The Art of the Bar: My Signature Soaps
When you buy a bar from me, you are getting a product made in a micro-batch right here in my Mulund studio. I use nutrient-rich bases like goat milk or shea butter combined with hand-pounded herbs, which means every bar is fresh and retains the natural oils your skin actually needs—unlike mass-produced soaps that strip your skin of moisture.
I started making soap because I wanted a better, non-sticky alternative for my daughter, and that 'kitchen experiment' turned into MadebyRen. My process is simple but intentional. I don't use big machinery or secret chemical shortcuts. Instead, I work with traditional Ayurvedic wisdom.
Why Hand-Pounded Ingredients Matter
My soaps aren't just about cleaning; they are about skin nourishment. Take my Abhyangasnan Ubtan Soap, for instance. I use actual turmeric, sandalwood, and neem powders. By hand-pounding these ingredients, I ensure the particle size is perfect for gentle exfoliation—enough to clear away dead skin cells without leaving your skin feeling raw or dry.
Freshness in Every Batch
Because I work in micro-batches, you aren't buying inventory that has been sitting on a shelf for months. Each bar is poured, cured, and wrapped by hand. This ensures the essential oils—like refreshing lemongrass or soothing basil—are potent when they reach you.
My Approach to Skin Types
I genuinely believe your skin changes with the weather, stress, and your mood. That is why I formulate for specific needs rather than just 'oily' or 'dry' labels.
- For Pigmentation: My Honey Manjishtha bar uses Ayurvedic Manjishtha to gently help even out skin tone.
- For Heat & Acne: My Aloe Basil soap combines cooling aloe with antibacterial basil to calm irritation during our humid Mumbai summers.
Every soap I make is free from SLS and parabens. It is just honest, effective care that respects your skin's barrier. If you are ever unsure which bar to start with, feel free to reach out—I love helping you pick what works best for your current skin needs.
MadebyRen
I’m Renuka, and MadebyRen started right in my kitchen because I wanted better for my family. I don’t believe in 10-step routines, just simple, honest skincare that works. My soaps are my way of bringing the wisdom my Aai taught me into your daily bath.
