Q: For those who aren’t familiar, what is Brahmi?

A: Brahmi is a Whistler-based luxury and vegan clean beauty skin care line that is made in Canada. Brahmi has four thoughtfully curated products in our signature line, Divine Rose, for the face and skin. A daily moisturizer, serum, lip plumping balm and 11:11 Magic Balm. Our products are formulated for daily use on all skin types, using natural and organic ingredients plus fair-trade essential oils.

Brahmi focuses on essential oils and ingredients from India, including rose, frankincense, neem and more. Our products are infused with Lily’s signature Cosmetic Energy Healing that work synergistically to rejuvenate the cells and skin.

At Brahmi, our beauty philosophy is “Beauty is falling in love with yourself.” Loving yourself unconditionally and connecting with your heart. As you open your heart chakra, the energy of your soul radiates beyond your physical body, creating a divine glow.

Our products are formulated without fillers, harmful chemicals, never tested on animals and do not use synthetic fragrances. At Brahmi we are kind to the Earth and our serum and face cream come in amber jars, and our balms containers are fully glass, including the lids.

You can listen to these meditations daily before you apply your products for younger looking skin, relaxation and a spiritual uplifting.
