Ayurvedic Facial Ubtan
This formulation follows the classical Mukhalepa tradition described in the Ashtanga Hridayam and Charaka Samhita. Green Gram provides the base exfoliation. Neem and Turmeric address excess sebum and uneven tone. Manjishtha and Khadira support complexion clarity as classical Varnya herbs. Sandalwood and Rose Petals calm and nourish the skin after cleansing.
Each 35g pack provides approximately 15 to 20 applications. Suitable for all skin types. Use as a daily morning cleanser or a short 5-minute mask two to three times per week. Follow with a face oil for a complete Mukha ritual.
For external use only. Not a substitute for professional medical advice.
