Kasthuri Manjal Powder (Wild Turmeric)

The wild turmeric every Tamil mother smoothed onto her children before the bath.

Why it matters

Kasthuri Manjal is the fragrant, non-staining wild turmeric reserved for skin, not the cooking pot. A classic Tamil home ritual applied before bathing, it is traditionally used to support skin health and brightness, the softening of fine facial hair, and the gentle care of children's and women's skin — a grandmother's recipe, ground small-batch.

What's inside

Curcuma aromatica (Kasthuri Manjal).

How to use

Mix enough powder with water to make a paste; apply to face and wash off after 10 minutes.
