It’s been quite a while since my skin started to show the usual signs of ageing. A little bit of pigmentation here and there, fine lines under the eyes and a drastic change in the overall skin type. Earlier, I had slightly dry skin during winter and combination skin throughout the rest of the year. But now, my skin is extremely dry during the colder months. Sometimes, it gets flaky, irritated, and I can see dry patches when the weather gets too dry and cold.
Ever since I saw this change in my skin, my only goal has been to find a moisturising cream that not only hydrates the skin but also nourishes it from within, without being too heavy or greasy. My hunt came to an end when I found the Gaurisatva Ghee Elixir Cooling Emollient cream while randomly browsing through the internet.
The Ingredients List
When I first read the label, I expected a long list of chemicals I couldn’t pronounce. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised to see ingredients that felt like a warm hug from nature.
The “hero” ingredient here is, of course, Shata Dhauta Ghrita (I’ll explain what this magic is in a second!). But what really impressed me was that Gaurisatva didn’t stop there. They’ve supercharged this base with powerful Ayurvedic botanicals that target the exact issues I was facing:
-
Arjuna Bark Extract: Known for strengthening the skin barrier (perfect for my thinning, ageing skin).
-
Ashwagandha: A stress-buster for your face that helps calm down that angry, irritated feeling when your skin gets too dry.
-
Gotu Kola & Bakuchi Oil: These are the heavy hitters for anti-ageing. They are known to boost collagen and help smooth out those fine lines I was complaining about.

The Magic is in the Making
This is the part that actually convinced me to buy it. I learned that this isn’t just regular kitchen ghee slapped into a jar. “Shata Dhauta Ghrita” literally translates to “100 Times Washed Ghee.”
The process sounds ancient and incredibly laborious. They take pure A2 cow ghee and wash it in a copper vessel repeatedly—traditionally 100 times! Why go through all that trouble? Because this washing process completely transforms the ghee. It strips away the heavy fats and the “ghee smell,” leaving behind a whipped, fluffy, cooling cream. The contact with copper infuses it with anti-inflammatory properties, which is exactly why it’s called a “Cooling Emollient.” It loses that greasy, sticky feel and becomes something that your skin can actually drink up.

How It Helps My Dry Skin Heal
So, does the science hold up on my face? In short: Yes.
The first thing I noticed was the temperature. True to its name, it feels physically cool when you apply it—almost like splashing cold water on a hot day. For my dry, itchy patches, this was instant relief.
Unlike regular heavy creams that just sit on top of my face like a mask, this elixir seems to penetrate deep. I read somewhere that Shata Dhauta Ghrita is the only formulation known to penetrate through all seven layers of the skin, and honestly, I believe it.
-
Morning: It sits well under my sunscreen and doesn’t make me look oily.
-
Night: This is where it shines. I wake up, and my skin still feels plump and soft, not tight or flaky like it used to.
The dry patches around my nose and the fine lines under my eyes have visibly softened. It didn’t happen overnight, but after about two weeks of consistent use, my skin felt “fed” rather than just moisturised.
