About Us
WELCOME TO THE NATURAL WORLD OF BIOTIQUE.
A combination of the 5,000-year-old science of Ayurveda and 21st-century biotechnology.
A dream that has today become a global reality.
We are synonymous with serious skin and hair care developed from Ayurveda, the principal medical tradition in India for over 5000 years. Longer than long ago, health and beauty were fleeting. The average adult life expectancy was 30 years old, as nature took its toll. Then, 5000 years ago, Aryan sages in India searched within the vast resources of nature to extend this ephemeral existence.
Biotique products are based on the authentic Ayurveda recipes, taken from the ancient and original Veda texts, passed down from generation to generation, to our Founder Vinita Jain.
Before the pyramids were built, these ancient Sages created Ayurveda. It is the science of life; the Sanskrit words 'Ayur' means 'life' and 'veda' means science or knowledge. Ayurveda is the time-tested, natural medicinal system that treats the total individual, promoting prevention as well as cure, for a healthy mind, body, spirit and senses. And only Biotique Founder, Vinita Jain, possesses the true Ayurveda recipes for natural healing & rejuvenation.
founder’s Story
Of all the ingredients in the world, few are more healthful or more beautiful than those found in the Himalayas. The cradle of Ayurveda. Blessed with natural riches, including precious minerals, rare herbs and exotic plants. This is where Vinita Jain, our founder, grew up. And where our story begins…
Founder Chairperson, Biotique
Vinita Jain lived for many years in a time capsule — on her family’s tea plantations in Assam and Darjeeling, 500 miles from the nearest hospital. From the day she was born, Vinita used homegrown medicines and beautifiers made of natural plants and elements to treat everything from health problems to personal beauty care. Natural was her way of life and legacy.
“As a child, I lived remotely and had the unique experience of being raised with Himalayan Masters who taught me their secrets to good health and youthfulness."
The Masters
Among the oldest mountain cultures in the world, the Himalayan Masters--whose forefathers were the founders of Ayurveda, Yoga, Meditation and other proven holistic philosophies—were Vinita’s first teachers. They lived in the caves on her family’s tea estates and, generation after generation, her family cared for them. These were the Sages who created life-giving recipes of plants and plant extracts that have had startling natural effects on India’s Indigenous people for over 5000 years.
Ayurveda is the principal medical tradition in India, developed from the sacred Veda texts. It is an active state of wellness and beauty that has thrived for over 5000 years.
Natural Harmony
The Masters understood the importance of living in harmony with nature. They combined the heat of the sun, air, water, minerals, gems and plant substances to create treatments with immense restorative and rejuvenating effects. From this knowledge, Ayurveda’s life-sustaining system of health care was born. And Vinita became expert in its ways of choosing and blending herbs, plants and flowers.
Authentic Ayurveda
Vinita learned how to read Sanskrit and studied the ancient Ayurveda recipes in their original texts. Of particular fascination: the Veda texts that spoke to natural beauty and agelessness. Thousands of years of holistic history were passed down to her, proving how powerful botanicals could be for natural healing and rejuvenation. Now, it was her turn, her dream, her legacy, as was the case with generations of family before her, to advance the natural powers of Ayurveda for her people and for a modern world.
“The youth of 20 at age 30. The radiance of 30 at 50.The look of 40 at 60. I have seen it all on my family’s faces.”
Cultivating Excellence
Vinita’s fondest ambition was to spread the benefits and beauty of holistic Ayurveda outside her remote world. While her early days of learning were spent with the Masters, Vinita knew that she needed a formal education in science and commerce to achieve her goal and start a company.
“I knew that I would have to leave the past to build the future and advance the wisdom of my holistic legacy for all.”
Vinita left the Himalayas to pursue higher learning, completing college in India and then studying biotechnology in Switzerland and business management in the U.S. With her degrees in hand, she returned to India, conceived her business plan and gathered a team to begin uniting 21st century science with Asia’s time-tested therapeutic knowledge of nature.
Discovered:
A revolutionary cold extraction process that preserves the active ingredient of the plant, so that the intelligence of the plant can interact with the intelligence of the body for the promotion of both health and beauty.
Achieved:
