Surya Shanti Cream can be used whenever your skin is hot and burning. The Sanskrit word, surya, mean "sun." And shanti means "pacification." Surya Shanti Cream pacifies the heat generated by too much exposure to the sun.
This cream was designed to be an Ayurvedic sunscreen substitute, but it has not been tested by the FDA. Use it at your own risk.
It balances brajaka pitta, the pitta located in the skin. It helps reduce hot burning sensations on the skin, whether caused by internal toxins, like amavisha, or by sunburn, or by touching hot objects. Because it cools brajaka pitta so deeply, it can be a good preparation for exposure to the sun's hot rays.
Surya Shanti Cream has not been tested by the FDA as a sunscreen, and should be used with caution. However, some people are reporting that it is very helpful for preventing sunburn.
We suggest that you test it for yourself in a way that will not endanger your skin if it doesn't work for you. Try it on a section of skin for a moderate exposure time. If you replace your regular sunscreen with this product be warned that you do so at your own risk. You may need to keep applying during the day. It is not waterproof.
Sunlight heats the skin dramatically. If your skin is cooled by this cream prior to sun exposure, your skin's own natural resistance to sunburn is strenghthened. It is also great to apply after sun exposure. Many people are reporting that it can remove the redness caused by sunburn in just a few minutes. We invite you to test it for yourself.
The formula contains no chemicals or preservatives and delivers lots of cooling soma to the skin. It not only cools the skin, but opens the skin's reception to soma in the environment.
This cream will not block the good things you need from sunlight. Your skin will recieve what it needs to make Vitamin D from sunlight without getting imbalanced by the sun's burning quality. Get Vaidya Mishra's three hour course on Vitamin D to learn more about the importance of how you treat your skin if you want to get maximum Vitamin D from the sun.
If you are a high pitta type, you may experience burning sensations anytime for no apparent reason. This cream can be useful for restoring balance quickly. You may want to apply it on the neck or even the scalp whenever it starts to burn. It can also be helpful for cooling the body before sleep.
This product comes in two variations: regular coolness (Surya Shanti) and strong cooling (Surya Maha Shanti)

I am a middle age woman. My skin has been exposed to the sun without protection for many years, yet I seen a dramatic improvement in my skin tone, clarity and texture with only a few applications of this product. Just like the lalita's facial oil, a little of this cream goes a long way. I look fifteen years younger than my age and I frequently get compliments about my skin. You do not have to be rich and famous to have beautiful healthy skin.

I got this cream to see if it would help cool my neck, which gets hot a lot. The redness and heat disappeared immediately when I put it on. Even a long-term, dark, itchy spot on my neck became lighter and less itchy within a few minutes. After using this cream on my neck for a few weeks, I have trouble finding that spot now.
I have also had a hot, itchy scalp for years. I put some of this cream on my scalp before going to bed and it pacifies this problem immediately. In fact, this long term problem is hardly an issue anymore for me.
Finally, I went on vacation last week and spent 4 - 8 hours a day in the sun. I have fair skin, and don't get a lot of sun exposure every day. Even though this is not a sunscreen, I thought I would test it for myself. I put it on several times during the day while I was in the sun and I did not burn.
Sometimes after several hours in the sun, I would get some beginning redness of sunburn. Normally, I would expect the red to get more red and more painful in the evening. I put extra Surya Shanti cream on the reddening skin, and it immediately cooled it down, decreased the redness, and that evening I never got to the painful stage of sunburn.
I would guess that this cream has a sun protection factor of about 8. And the amazing thing in my experience is that it can reverse sunburn after I started to get it.
This may not be a sunscreen, but I'd rather put this great smelling cream on my skin than any PABA or chemical based formula. The smell alone was enough to convince my young niece and her friend to try it.
