Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix different herbal powders together?
Yes. Many herbal powders can be combined for enhanced benefits. For example, Amla + Henna for hair conditioning and colour, or Manjistha + Kasthuri Manjal for a brightening face pack. Start with small amounts and patch test any new combination.
How long does henna colour last?
Pure henna colour typically lasts 4–6 weeks, gradually fading as hair grows and is washed. The two-step henna + indigo process for darker shades can last longer.
Is Kasthuri Manjal the same as regular turmeric?
No. Kasthuri Manjal (Curcuma aromatica / Wild Turmeric) is a different species from culinary turmeric (Curcuma longa). It does not stain the skin yellow and is specifically used for skincare applications in Ayurveda.
Are these products suitable for sensitive skin?
Our herbal powders are pure and free from synthetic additives. However, individual sensitivities vary. Always perform a patch test before use. Consult a dermatologist if you have a known skin condition.
Do you offer wholesale pricing on herbal beauty powders?
