Born and educated in Dehradun Aparajita Singh Chilka is making waves in Pune, with Shasya a luxury body and bath collection.
A student of Doon Cambridge School, Aparajita pursued her Masters before she married and relocated to Pune.
A decade there and her artistic gene from her maternal side made her try her hand at making exotic body and bath collection, entirely handcrafted using natural ingredients, just the kind of thing, you need to pamper your skin with.
In the quest for sustainable living, like many of us, Aparajita decided on zero waste and gave up chemical soaps, shampoos and face wash. She experimented making products at home, and after several rounds of trial and error, Aparajita found her products not only easy to make, but also mild on the skin with great benefits for all to see, she tells us, “These products were gentle and far better than the ones that we get in the market.”
Supported by her in-laws and husband Amit Chilka, Aparajita started making soaps from a make-shift studio at home and has been selling them since May this year. What began as a gift to her near and dear ones, who saw the positive results gave birth to Shasya which in Sanskrit means plant based / natural. The products too stand true to their meaning. “The response has been great. More and more people are making the switch from products made of harsh chemicals to natural products, ” she adds.
In the near future Aparajita wishes to spread awareness about sustainable and zero waste lifestyle and promote use of more such natural products. She intends to make toothpaste and deodorants in the near future.
A treat for all kind of skin types, Aparajita offers Lemon, Aloe Vera, Rose, Coffee Shea Butter, Charcoal and Ubtan 100 grams soaps priced between 70₹ to ₹100 which are chemical free, 100% vegan, cruelty free with no Paraben or SLE or SLS.
