The miracle that is Aloe Gel.
We can’t say enough good things about this amazing plant and here’s why; the cactus like leaves of the Aloe Vera plant contain a clear healing gel which is 96% water. The other 4% contains 75 known substances including Vitamins A, B, C, E, calcium, amino acids for protein building and enzymes used in the digestive system.
This is why Aloe Vera is now also touted as nature’s alternative to Botox and why it’s been used to heal the skin for thousands of years. The amino acids in Aloe Vera stimulate fibroblasts, the skin cells responsible for wound healing and the manufacture of collagen, the protein that controls the ageing process of the skin and wrinkling. Another reason it is so effective is because its absorption rate is four times that of water and our skin literally opens up to absorb its miracle properties.

Testimonials
I have used quite a few Rasasara products now, what I like most about the products is that when using them, you can really tell they have put a lot of thought into each product formulation and how it interacts with your body when used. Truly unique products and highly recommendable.
~ Sam Kirsner
I literally use Rasasara from head to toe! I love to use the Hair oil weekly and notice the health of my hair has improved with more lustre and fullness. For my face I combine a few sprays of the Rose Water with the Chandra Revitalising Oil, heavenly and hydrating for my thirsty skin. The Holy Foot Balm is the ultimate way to close the day, it’s rich and nourishing and also has improved my sleep. Over the years I have tried various “natural” skin care and nothing really hit the mark until I discovered Rasasara Skinfood for results, value and integrity.
~ Jyoti Murray
The products are so, so magical. The first time I used them, I literally felt my cells sing from the scent, the feeling, the energy of all of them. Every time I’ve used them, I’ve felt them work throughout my entire body, emotionally as well as physically. It’s clear how much love and attention you’ve put into the products. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
~ Georgia Fish
I use Rasasara both personally & in my clinic. Our skin is the largest organ & undergoes dramatic changes when the body is receiving treatment for cancer. Having seen first hand the profound healing that occurs when Rasa Derm is used, I am delighted to recommend these products to those receiving radiotherapy as part of their treatment program for cancer. Rasa Derm has been a lifesaver to many of my clients & has provided peace of mind to those who are very mindful of what they put on their skin.
~ Tania Shaw
I am very happy with Rasasara. The product is great, my skin is glowing and most of the problems I had with dryness, scaliness, uneven tone have subsided considerably and best of all, I can afford it.
~ Fadzai
The Rasasara products are great and very easy to use. The results are even more fabulous and quite remarkable given I’ve never had this sort of result with any other product. I highly recommend them to those with sensitive skin to try the wonderful Pitta range as I’ve had huge results post my very dry skin as a result of too much sun whilst on holiday. I’m now using the Vata range, which is allowing me to adapt nicely to the change in climate. Absolutely wonderful products and definitely a long term relationship for me!
~ Maria Tallarida
I have used Rasasara for over 5 years now, and it has been incredible for my skin, I will never use anything else! I have many of the products and they are all exceptional, as is the helpful service. I really value the love, care and quality in every bottle. Love love love all that you do for me & my skin!
