Our Story

You & Yamas was born from a deeply personal journey - one of healing, resilience, and a profound reconnection with nature. When founder Martha Christie was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, she turned inward, embracing a life centred on nourishing plant-based foods, yoga, and mindful living.

Through that journey, Martha discovered something powerful, that true wellness begins from within, but it also radiates outward. She wanted to create something that honoured both - a product that could support the skin as a daily ritual, the way plant based food and movement supported her body from the inside.

The Philosophy Behind the Brand

The name You & Yamas holds two layers of meaning. You represents the individual - your unique body, your story, your ritual. Yamas draws from two sources: the Greek toast "Yamas" (to health) and the yogic principles of ethical living - the Yamas - which guide us toward balance, compassion and conscious choices.

Together, they reflect a philosophy we live by - that caring for yourself and others should be simple, intentional, and kind.

ELIXIR — Skincare as Ritual

Our flagship product, ELIXIR, is a high-performance botanical oil crafted to nourish, hydrate, and restore skin. Made with carefully selected natural ingredients - including Baobab Oil, Pomegranate Seed Oil, Jojoba, and Vitamin E.

- ELIXIR is lightweight, fast-absorbing, and suitable for all skin types.

It's more than a skincare product. It's an invitation to slow down, to be present, and to treat yourself with the same care and intention you bring to everything else that matters.

Our Commitment

We believe in transparency, simplicity, and the power of nature. Every ingredient in ELIXIR is chosen with purpose - no fillers, no compromise. We're a small, passionate team and we're proud to be building something meaningful, one ritual at a time.

Thank you for being part of the You & Yamas community. Yamas!
