Cleanse (Shodhana)
In Ayurveda, clear skin begins with purification. Shodhana, the classical first step of any Mukha (face) ritual, removes the layer of subtle impurities that dulls the skin over time.
Ubtan is how Ayurveda has always done it. A dry herbal powder, mixed fresh with water before each use. No preservatives. No synthetic binders. Just herbs, directly on your skin.
Choose your Ubtan:
- Ayurvedic Facial Ubtan — gentle daily cleanser for all skin types
- Mukhalepa Ubtan — deep-cleansing mask for oily or congested skin
- Rose Petals Powder — a single-ingredient Varnya herb; use alone or blend into any Ubtan
Once you have cleansed, the skin is ready to receive. Continue your ritual with a face oil from our Lepana collection.
Ubtan cleanses, exfoliates and brightens the skin in a single application. Unlike conventional cleansers, it is a dry herbal powder with no preservatives, no water and no synthetic binders, mixed fresh before each use and applied directly to the skin.
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.
Mukhalepa Ubtan is a deep-cleansing face mask for oily, blemish-prone skin. It is a dry herbal powder mixed fresh with water or rose water before each use, with no preservatives, no synthetic binding agents and no conventional mask fillers.
The formulation is based on the Mukhalepa Adhyaya of the Ashtanga Hridayam, the classical Ayurvedic text on skin purification. Multani Mitti absorbs sebum and surface impurities from within the pores. Neem and Tulsi address Kapha imbalances including excess oil and skin buildup. Sandalwood pacifies Pitta and reduces redness. Rose Petals restore softness and luminosity. Turmeric brightens and evens the complexion. Manjistha works on deeper discoloration.
Unlike commercial masks loaded with water and preservatives, this traditional Ubtan activates the moment you mix it. Each application is as potent as the first.
Rose Petals Powder is a single-ingredient Ayurvedic skin powder for brightening, soothing and hydrating the skin. It works as a standalone face mask, as an addition to any Ubtan blend, or as a Pitta-calming bath treatment.
Rosa centifolia is classified in the Charaka Samhita under the Varnya Gana, the group of herbs specifically indicated for natural clarity and radiance of the skin. Its qualities are Sheeta (cooling), Snigdha (moistening) and Madhura, making it well suited to Pitta and Vata skin conditions where redness, dryness or sensitivity are present. This preparation is 100% dried Rose Petal Powder, organically grown on our farms in India.
Each 35g pack provides approximately 20 to 25 applications as a face mask. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and reactive skin. Blend with our Facial Ubtan or Mukhalepa Ubtan to add a cooling, softening quality to the treatment.
