Shankara Launches Hydrating Body Wash for Everyday Natural Self-Care - Rinses 30% Faster, Saving Up To 1,000 Litres of Water A Year
Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], July 18: When it comes to daily skin health, most of us need one product that can do it all, cleanse, hydrate, and refresh without fuss, especially during sticky, humid weather. Shankara's Hydrating Body Wash offers exactly that: a 100% natural, sulphate-free, paraben-free, toxin-free, cruelty-free, vegan, and non-greasy cleanser that turns showers into mindful resets while rinsing off 30% faster than conventional formulas to help save up to 1,000 litres of water a year. Unlike many body washes that use sulphates and harsh foaming agents, which strip the skin's natural oils and increase water usage, Shankara's gentle formulation cleanses effectively while respecting your skin's natural balance.
With the soft floral scent of Nargis lingering in the steam, this body wash transforms an everyday shower into a moment of quiet reset. Watermelon Seed Oil and Glycerin get to work, cleansing without stripping and keeping your skin comfortably hydrated, while Sandalwood lends a subtle clarity that feels grounding. The lather is creamy but light, washing off easily without clogging pores or leaving residue just clean, refreshed skin that feels like it's been gently taken care of.
Talking about the new launch, Astha Katpitia, Head of Shankara India, shares, "Body care is a daily ritual that allows us to care for ourselves with intention. With Shankara's Hydrating Body Wash, we have reimagined this everyday moment, blending time-honoured ingredients that nourish the skin while saving up to 1,000 litres of water a year. A formula that rinses off 30% faster, It reflects our commitment to creating daily rituals that are gentle on you and gentle on the earth.''

Walnuts Among Omega-3 Foods Linked to Brain Development Benefits in Children and Adolescents
NewsVoir New Delhi [India], July 23: Two new studies add to growing evidence that a mother's diet during pregnancy has lasting implications for her child's brain development and decision-making skills- extending well beyond infancy into the teen years. In a population-based cohort study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers found that higher maternal consumption of nuts and seafood during pregnancy was associated with improved neuropsychological function in children from ages 4 to 15.1 A complementary study published in European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry reported that maternal intake of nuts and fish was linked to reduced risky decision-making behaviors in children at age 11.2 The study evaluated a sample of more than 1,700 mother-child pairs from four Spanish regions was analyzed. Maternal diet was analyzed using a food frequency questionnaire, while the children's neuropsychological function was assessed through standardized tests measuring reaction time and variability (attention), working memory, and fluid intelligence. While neither study focused exclusively on walnuts, both contribute to the broader evidence supporting the role of including nutrient-dense foods, such as nuts, as part of a healthy prenatal diet. Key takeaways - Children whose mothers consumed more nuts and seafood during pregnancy scored higher on measures of attention, working memory, and executive function throughout childhood and adolescence. - These children were also less likely to make impulsive, high-risk decisions in early adolescence. - Omega-3 fatty acids- abundant in walnuts and fatty fish- were identified as a key nutrient associated with these benefits. Walnuts are the only tree nut that is an excellent source of the plant-based omega-3 fatty acid ALA (2.7g/28g). The California Walnut Commission (CWC) represents more than 3,700 California walnut growers and approximately 70 handlers, grown in multi-generational farmers' family orchards. California walnuts, known for their excellent nutritional value and quality, are shipped around the world all year long, with more than 99% of the walnuts grown in the United States being from California. The CWC, established in 1987, promotes usage of walnuts through domestic and export market development activities as well as supports health research with consuming walnuts. References 1.
