• A $200 SERUM IS STILL A SERUM

    The same 1% active in a $30 bottle works the same as in a $200 one. The marketing's been quietly hiding what the other 99% actually is.

  • "CRUELTY-FREE" HIDES A LOT

    Beeswax, lanolin, honey, snail mucin. Most "clean" beauty quietly uses them. We don't — and we say exactly which ones we left out.

  • AGING ISN'T THE ENEMY

    Aging isn't something to fight. We're for skin that looks like itself at every age — and the daily practice that makes that possible.

Your skin isn't the problem.

The narrative is — and so is what you put in your body.

— Agaja, founder of Amaranth

  • NAMED, TRACEABLE INGREDIENTS

    Saffron, gotu kola, ashwagandha, neem, manjistha — every herb on our label is named, sourced, and explained. Drawing on 5,000-year-old Ayurvedic formulations, supported by modern research.

  • NO SYNTHETIC FILLERS

    No SLS, no synthetic fragrance, no parabens, no PEGs, no silicones. Just plant oils, named botanicals, and the kind of ingredient list you can read without a chemistry degree.

  • VEGAN-OWNED, NOT JUST VEGAN-PRODUCTS

    Our ethics won't change with trends. We're vegan-owned — which means no animal ingredients ever, including beeswax, lanolin, snail mucin, or honey hiding in the formulation.

We've been there. (Both photos are Agaja, 5 years apart.)

"I tried everything."

"Five years of dermatology prescriptions, $200 serums, and 'clean beauty' brands that quietly weren't vegan. I fainted in the shower on day 3 of spironolactone. Nothing was working — and nobody was asking the right questions about why."

— Agaja, Founder

"Then I went back to what I grew up with."

"My grandmother's Ayurvedic practices. Sesame oil. Neem paste. Saffron in warm plant milk. Every formula at Amaranth comes from that lineage — combined with the modern research that finally explained why it worked when nothing else did."

— Agaja, Founder

Sanctuary cow portrait — vegan-ethics signal for Amaranth by Agaja What we stand on

What we stand on

We're vegan-owned because the animals deserve it — and because dairy, beeswax, and lanolin are some of the most consistent inflammation drivers in skincare. We name our ingredients because hiding the formulation behind "proprietary blend" language is how the industry lies politely. And we're Ayurvedic because 5,000 years of practice has more to teach us about real skin care than any $200 serum's marketing budget.

Amaranth by Agaja brand story

Why "Amaranth"?

Amaranth is a flower that holds its color long after it's cut. In Greek, the name means "unfading." It's the visual metaphor for what we're trying to do with skin: build a practice that holds, that compounds, that doesn't fade as quickly as the next trend does. Plus, amaranth is one of the original superfoods of South Asia — a quiet, ancient ingredient that survived everything modern food culture tried to forget.
