AYURVEDIC SKIN OIL
Jathyadi Thailam
Jathyadi Thailam, a classical jasmine oil of Ayurveda, a sesame and karanja base carrying jasmine, neem, turmeric and a blend of skin herbs.
Jathyadi Thailam is a classical Ayurvedic skin oil named for Jati (jasmine). Art of Vedas prepares it as a vegan, plant-based oil: a sesame and karanja oil base carrying jasmine, neem, turmeric and a blend of classical herbs, cooked by the classical Sneha Paka method. This page sets out what the oil is, the classical tradition it belongs to, and the heavy-metal and microbiological test results recorded for every batch.
What Jathyadi Thailam is
Jathyadi Thailam is a classical Ayurvedic herbal oil, prepared by Art of Vedas as a skin oil. It is anhydrous, meaning it contains no added water: a sesame and karanja oil base carrying a classical blend of herbs, with no preservative needed. It is vegan, made in India under Good Manufacturing Practice following ISO 22716 principles, and not tested on animals. It carries a period after opening of 12 months and is offered in a 200 ml size.
It takes its name from Jati (Jasminum officinale, jasmine), which sits alongside neem, turmeric and other classical skin herbs in the oil. Because it contains turmeric, it can temporarily leave a colour on the skin or on fabric. The complete ordered ingredient list, with the declared fragrance allergens, is given further down this page.
Jathyadi Thailam in classical Ayurveda
Jathyadi Thailam belongs to the classical skin oils of Ayurveda. The name comes from Jati, the Sanskrit word for jasmine, the herb at the head of the formula.
It is prepared by the classical Sneha Paka method, in which the herbs are cooked slowly into a sesame and karanja oil base. In the tradition the oil is applied to the skin and worked in gently.
Art of Vedas presents the oil within that classical frame, describing the practice rather than any outcome. It is offered as a vegan preparation of Jathyadi Thailam, kept faithful to the herbal tradition and tested with every batch.
Quality and testing
Tested with every batch
Every production batch of Jathyadi Thailam is tested before it is released for sale. Two things are checked: heavy metals, by a laboratory method called ICP-MS, and microbiological safety, against the international standard ISO 17516:2014. The figures below are representative results; every batch is retested before release.
Heavy metals
Five heavy metals were tested by ICP-MS. Each one was within the permitted limit for products used on the skin. The right-hand column shows the maximum level allowed under German BfR guidance, so you can see the limit each result sits within.
| Metal | Result | Permitted maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Lead (Pb) | Within the permitted limit | max 2 mg/kg |
| Cadmium (Cd) | Within the permitted limit | max 0.1 mg/kg |
| Mercury (Hg) | Within the permitted limit | max 0.1 mg/kg |
| Arsenic (As) | Within the permitted limit | max 0.5 mg/kg |
| Nickel (Ni) | Within the permitted limit | max 5 mg/kg |
ICP-MS stands for inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, a standard laboratory method for detecting metals. The limits shown are the German BfR guidance values, in milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg). This formula is made only from plant ingredients, with no mineral or metallic ingredients.
Microbiological safety
Microbiological safety is tested against ISO 17516:2014. The overall counts of microbes stay within the limits, and the specific organisms that must not be present were each absent.
| Test | Result |
|---|---|
| Total Aerobic Microbial Count | Within the EU limit |
| Total Yeast and Mould Count | Within the EU limit |
| Escherichia coli (E. coli) | Absent (not found) |
| Pseudomonas aeruginosa | Absent (not found) |
| Staphylococcus aureus (Staph) | Absent (not found) |
| Candida albicans | Absent (not found) |
ISO 17516:2014 sets the microbiological limits for cosmetic products.
