A traditional Ayurvedic cleansing powder formulated for Vata skin — dry, sensitive, and prone to dehydration. Chickpea flour gently exfoliates. Amla provides one of the highest natural concentrations of vitamin C of any plant. Marshmallow root is a documented skin-soothing and moisturising agent. No water, no preservatives needed. No synthetic fragrance.
✦ Ingredient Spotlight: Vitamin C
Vitamin C neutralises free radicals, stimulates collagen synthesis, and reduces hyperpigmentation at 10–20% concentration. Sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP) is significantly more stable than L-ascorbic acid and has been shown in studies to produce comparable brightening outcomes — the preferred form for long-shelf-life clean formulas.
Mix 1–2 teaspoons of powder with enough water, milk, or floral water to form a paste. Apply to damp face. Leave as a mask for 5–10 minutes, then gently exfoliate with circular motions and rinse thoroughly. Use 1–3 times per week.
Sizes available: 2 oz jar.
