The Lakshmi Story
Beauty, we discovered, is also the expression of consciousness—one that manifests in joy and radiant beauty. This revelation sparked our founders' relentless research into components, methods, and formulations to achieve Absolute quality—the highest and most effective cosmetic quality possible.
Our Founders: Linda & Franco
Driven by their transformative experience in India, Linda and Franco embarked on a mission to create skincare that goes beyond surface beauty. They understood that true radiance comes from within, and that Ayurvedic principles could unlock this inner glow through constitutional skincare tailored to each individual's unique needs.
"With Lakshmi, we have realized the dream of an Ethical Aesthetic, whose deepest and most vital goal is to bring to life the inseparable combination of 'Beauty and Well-being'. The result has produced an extraordinary line of cosmetics 'Made with Joy', created and conceived with Joy, Love, and Respect."
-Franco Canteri, Founder Lakshmi
From Ancient Wisdom to Modern Excellence
OUR ITALIAN HERITAGE
Based in the heart of Italy's Veneto region (Via Fior di Loto 1, Bosco Chiesanuova, Verona), we combine the precision and artistry of Italian craftsmanship with the time-tested wisdom of Ayurvedic traditions. This unique fusion creates products that are both luxurious and deeply effective.
30 YEARS OF INNOVATION
Since 1994, we have been perfecting our formulations, sourcing the finest natural ingredients, and developing products that honor the constitutional approach to skincare. Our journey has been one of continuous learning, respect for tradition, and commitment to excellence.
-
Beauty is Holistic
True beauty radiates from a harmonious balance of mind, body, and spirit. Our products are designed to support this holistic approach to wellness and self-care.
-
Individual Constitution Matters
Every person has a unique Ayurvedic constitution (dosha) that determines their skin's specific needs. We create products that honor these individual differences rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions.
-
Quality is Sacred
We are committed to "Absolute Quality"—the highest standard of cosmetic excellence. This means using only the finest natural ingredients, traditional preparation methods, and rigorous quality control.
-
Tradition Guides Innovation
While we embrace modern technology and scientific research, we never lose sight of the ancient wisdom that forms our foundation. Every product is a bridge between 5,000 years of Ayurvedic knowledge and contemporary skincare needs.
