Anisha approaches every formulation as a sacred responsibility.
A Lifetime in Search of Sacred Knowledge
There was a house in Hyderabad where Sunday had a different quality of light.
A 75-year-old home, built in the way homes were built when permanence was still assumed. And inside it, every Sunday morning, a ritual that needed no explanation. It simply was.
Sandalwood paste (chandana) on the skin. Fragrant resin smoke (dhūpa) rising through the room. Oil warmed and worked into the body before a single drop of water was introduced. Her grandmother moved through it the way water moves: quietly, surely, with an intelligence passed hand to hand, generation to generation, through touch and scent and the particular silence of a woman who simply knew.
Anisha Vinjamuri carried that knowing out of Hyderabad and across the world, through the years of building a technology company, raising a family, and navigating the pace that modern life demands. Through personal health challenges that sent her searching for deeper answers. Through time at Vaidyagrama, a traditional healing village in Kerala, where she found, again and again, that what her grandmother had practiced on Sunday mornings was a precise, sequenced intelligence, mapped by the ancient physicians in the Charaka Saṃhitā more than two thousand years before the word "wellness" existed.
What she found was this: the body already knows how to restore itself.
It simply needs the right ritual to come home to.
UMM Skincare was created from that knowing, as a practice rather than a product line. Formulated for the skin. Designed for the nervous system. Grounded in the Vedic sciences her lineage has carried for generations.
"The bath was always about returning." Anisha Vinjamuri, Founder & CEO, UMM Skincare

Āpo hi ṣṭhā mayobhuvaḥ
"O Waters, you are the source of all joy and life; May you bestow upon us vitality and clarity."
Ṛgveda 10.9
In ancient India, water was revered as a sacred force of restoration: a living element believed to carry energy, memory, emotion and renewal through the body.
For thousands of years, bathing rituals were deeply integrated into daily life as intentional practices designed to restore clarity, elevate well-being and maintain harmony between internal health and external radiance.
At UMM Skincare, we translate this ancient intelligence into Elevated Bathing Rituals®, a neuro-sensorial bathing system for modern skin health and nervous-system restoration through touch, warmth, aroma, sound and botanical formulations supported by modern skin science.
Facial-grade care, extended to the body. Ancient ritual architecture, refined through modern skin science. Designed for those who understand that true luxury is how the body feels, functions, and restores over time.

In Their Words
Rated 4.96 out of 5 by our customers
This bar has completely changed my skin health! I use the Ashwagandha and Turmeric on my face and the Sandalwood & Manjistha on my body. The Ashwagandha & Tumeric is gentle and provides a clean without the stripped feeling. I also SO MUCH love that these aren't mass produced and made with cold pressed goats milk and cure naturally. The goats milk retains the beneficial anti-inflammatory properties and anti-bacterial properties naturally found in goats milk. I have red, dry skin, and this helps so much! I do a pre-cleanse with the golden ritual oil, add some water and scrub. Then I use this bar and my skin is MAGIC and healing!!!!
Everything UMM is utterly delightful. Both home care and in spa treatments are elevated by the exquisite products from UMM. Keep it up!
UMM Skincare
It is a luxurious oil that smells heavenly. I have used another product from Umm which I also love. This product is my favorite at the moment.
UMM is the absolute BEST product on the market
UMM is the absolute BEST product on the market. There is nothing like it and having 30 years in the industry I can honestly say it's the best thing I have ever put on my skin and I am constantly blowing high profile clients' minds when they start using it. It NEVER disappoints.
The Products
The Products - The Oil, The Soap, & The Candle will provide you with a refreshing aromatherapy feeling together with an all day moisturizing effect on your skin. The skin stopped itching in dry sensitive areas. No more irritations after 10 days of use in severe areas. This works as long as you follow the guidelines set forth in the instructions.
A 5-Star Home Ritual
From start to finish, my experience with UMM Skincare felt truly elevated. The service was seamless and efficient, the package arrived promptly and was extremely beautifully presented. The unboxing alone felt like a ritual. Every detail of the packaging was considered: luxurious, refined, and unmistakably premium. It genuinely felt like receiving a 5 star spa experience at home. As for the product itself, it transforms bathing into a calming, intentional ritual rather than just part of a routine. UMM Skincare isn't just a product; it's a whole experience. Prestigious, super grounding and really beautifully executed. I love it!

Transformative skincare
Transformative skincare! The Ayurvedic purity of this product is sensational. The properties of pure 24k gold is so beautiful in the lovely packaging of the Umm body elixer which is my new go to for my skin and hair. I had an amazing blowout because I used about two pumps of the body elixer while my hair was wet and it was seamless, smooth and luminous. I love the light weight nature of this oil, my skin is drinking it up, and I'm loving the radiance it provides. I have been doing the 21 day ritual for 9 days now and I feel so alive. Thank you for the opportunity to feel anew.
