Growing up, my childhood was filled with scenes of things being created. It ranged from jams and pickles, to complicated curries to elaborate desserts, both Indian and Western. Even quilts and pillows were made by hand from the cotton trees at my ancestral home in Kerala. So I have vivid memories of many conversations and laughter, smells and fragrances and the sheer joy of making things by hand. This mosaic of memories and skills learnt along the way, helped me become bold with experimenting
with making things whether it’s been cakes & desserts or now handmade skin care products. Destiny has a way for throwing in a few surprises on this journey called life. Shantae was born out of an accidental experiment in my kitchen. One crazy afternoon of experimenting with different ingredients, made me stumble upon creating a body scrub with ingredients out of my kitchen. I’ve been blessed with good genes and owe my good skin to my mother. But I have to admit, along the line I’d taken it for granted and never really did much to ensure I took care of it regularly. Another thing I discovered along the journey from teenager to being a woman in her 20’s and now as a woman in her 40’s , I still haven’t been able to figure my skin out! My face is oily while my body is dry. I struggle with dry, itchy skin during winters but can fry a batch of French fries out of the oil I generate during summers! Along the way, I tried a variety of products ranging from well-known brands, to lesser known ones, to ones that looked nice, to ones that smelt nice. So, when this accidental experiment led to the creation of a scrub that addressed all the confusion my skin went through, I was thrilled. The crazy baker in me morphed into self-proclaimed alchemist and experimented with variants and happily used family and friends as guinea pigs till I got it right. Then came the next confusion…what should the brand be called and what kind of message do I want to share? My vision was very clear…..my products should be a 100% natural and every single one of them created with passion and for a purpose. As a woman who lacked self-esteem and confidence as a teenager and young woman, its been a long journey to becoming comfortable now in my own skin. And hence Shantae….a woman filled with inner beauty was created for people to love the skin they are in. It’s been pure joy to see what one accidental experiment has now become little jars of joy, all created, packed and labelled by hand. I have spent many an hour reading and researching recipes, tweaking, experimenting and creating them. Three vital ingredients are a constant…love, passion and my own touch of madness. We at Shantae are committed to creating natural skin care products to nurture and love the skin you’ve been naturally born in.
