Drops of Gold: The Ancient Beauty Secret You Need to Know

February 25, 2025
How this ancient superfood is redefining beauty from the inside out.

Beauty and wellness have always been intertwined, yet modern trends often separate the two. Drops of Gold, a grass-fed ghee brand, seeks to reconnect them by bringing an Eastern tradition into the contemporary wellness space. Ghee has been a staple in Indian culture for centuries, not just as a cooking ingredient but as a revered source of nourishment for both body and skin.

For thousands of years, ghee has played a central role in Ayurvedic health practices. It has long been associated with vitality, balance, and longevity. Ancient texts describe ghee as a source of strength and mental clarity while also enhancing the skin’s natural glow. Now, modern science echoes these claims, recognising ghee’s nutritional benefits. Rich in butyric acid, ghee supports gut health, a key factor in achieving clear, radiant skin. It also contains essential vitamins A, D, E, and K, which promote hydration, collagen production, and strong, healthy hair. Unlike processed oils or synthetic beauty supplements, ghee provides a natural, nutrient-dense solution that supports overall wellbeing.

Founded in 2023 by lawyer and entrepreneur Katrina Uttam, Drops of Gold was born from a desire to merge health and beauty into one holistic experience. Frustrated by the lack of high-quality ghee brands that aligned with both wellness and aesthetics, Uttam set out to create a product that elevates self-care from the inside out. In a market flooded with artificial beauty solutions, Drops of Gold offers a luxurious yet functional alternative – one that nourishes deeply and promotes long-term radiance.

This organic, grass-fed ghee can be seamlessly integrated into everyday routines. Whether stirred into tea for a soothing boost, blended into coffee for a silky finish, or added to smoothies and soups for a dose of healthy fats, it provides a simple yet powerful way to enhance overall wellness. While ghee has been a household essential in India for generations, Drops of Gold presents it through a unique modern lens, making it accessible to those who prioritise purity, quality, and visible results.
