Soft facial ubtan powder cleanser · 80g / 2.82oz
I · Origin
01
An older idea of care:
Healthy skin
Before there were routines, there was a small brass bowl and a spoonful of powder, mixed with water or milk and worked warm between two palms.
No claims. No twelve steps. Just ground root, bark and flower doing quiet work. Usha is that bowl, measured out at 80g.
Skin doesn't need more. It needs less, done properly.
II · Nature
Pure care
by nature
Everything in this jar was grown, dried, and stone-ground — nothing was synthesised. You can see it: flecks of rose petal, the ochre of multani mati, the pale gold of daruhalad. Traditional and 100% natural, which in our case simply means we had nothing to add.
III · The Twelve
12
What's inside
Our ingredients
Twelve botanicals, set as भुजंगधारी — Bhujangadhari, the Serpent Bearer, known in the West as Ophiuchus. The Greeks saw in it Asclepius, the physician whose staff and serpent still mark medicine today; a snake sheds its skin and begins again, which is the oldest picture of healing anyone has drawn. The constellation carries twelve named stars. So does this jar.
Twelve stars, twelve botanicals. Trace one.
IV · The ritual
How to use
-
01
Mix a paste
Take half a teaspoon into your palm or a small bowl and add water, raw milk, or rose water — a few drops at a time. Work it until it's the thickness of soft yoghurt, with no dry pockets left.
-
02
Apply and rest
Spread a thin, even layer over clean, damp skin, avoiding the eyes and lips. Sit with it for eight to ten minutes — take it off while it is still slightly tacky, never bone dry.
-
03
Rinse in circles
Wet your fingertips and lift the paste off in small, slow circles, letting the grains do the polishing, then rinse with cool water and pat dry. Twice a week is plenty; once a week if your skin runs dry.
