Manjishtha Powder
Whole herbs, shade-dried powders, mineral clays and natural exfoliants.
Few herbs sit as squarely in the classical texts as manjishtha. Tradition lists Rubia cordifolia, Indian madder root, among the varnya herbs, those traditionally used to brighten and even the complexion. This manjishtha powder for pigmentation is meant for skin marked by tanning, patchiness or the dark spots left behind by old breakouts. Its natural compounds are antioxidants, and the root has a long record in traditional skin care for calming and clarifying.
Root powders are the hardest to get right; coarse ones scratch. Ours is milled and sifted until it feels almost silky, so it spreads thin and lifts dull surface cells gently as the pack dries. Talc is a common bulking filler in face packs; there is none here.
How do you use manjishtha powder on the face for pigmentation? Mix one to two spoons with rose water, milk or curd, apply to clean skin for 15 to 20 minutes, and rinse, two or three times a week. It blends well with rose petal or neem powder. Pigmentation fades slowly with any routine, so pair it with daily sunscreen.
Indian madder root, finely milled, for the classic varnya face pack India has used for centuries.

Manjishtha Powder
Mix one to two spoons with water, milk or yoghurt into a smooth paste and apply evenly to clean skin, avoiding the eyes. Leave for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water.
Manjishtha (Indian madder root) is one of the classical herbs traditionally used for an even-looking complexion, including marks left by old breakouts. Pigmentation fades slowly with any routine, so pair the pack with daily sunscreen.
Two or three times a week, preferably in the evening. It exfoliates lightly as it dries, so sensitive skin should start with one pack a week.
Please do not eat it; we pack this powder for use on skin only. Ask a doctor about any herb you want to take by mouth.
It is naturally reddish-brown and can leave a faint tint on very light skin, towels and clothes, but it rinses off with a normal wash. It blends well with rose petal or neem powder in one pack.
