Vishuddhi Ubtan – Ayurvedic Facial Ubtan for Oily & Acne-Prone Skin (50g)
Vishuddhi Ubtan is a specially formulated Ayurvedic facial ubtan created for oily and acne-prone skin. Crafted with Neem, Multani Mitti, Chandan, Manjistha, Lodhra, Kasturi Haldi, Masoor Dal, Chana Besan, Banyan Bark, and Yashtimadhu, it provides a gentle herbal cleansing and exfoliating ritual for the face.
Its traditional powder-based formulation helps remove surface impurities and excess oil while leaving the skin feeling clean, fresh, smooth, and balanced.
What It Is
Vishuddhi Ubtan is a traditional herbal facial powder developed specifically for skin that tends to feel oily, congested, or prone to occasional breakouts.
The formulation combines oil-absorbing mineral clay with carefully selected Ayurvedic botanicals traditionally used in facial care. Unlike a heavy cream or oily face pack, Vishuddhi Ubtan becomes a fresh herbal paste only when mixed before use.
Why Vishuddhi?
Oily and acne-prone skin often requires a different approach to skincare. Excessive scrubbing or heavy formulations may leave such skin uncomfortable.
Vishuddhi Ubtan is designed as a simple weekly cleansing ritual that combines Multani Mitti, Neem, Lodhra, Chandan, Manjistha, and Kasturi Haldi with traditional grain-based powders for balanced facial care.
