Why These Ingredients?
We have chosen ingredients shown to have anti-acne benefits:
- Clay (Fuller’s Earth or Multani Mitti): Reduces oil secretion and absorbs sebum when applied for extended periods.
- Turmeric: Offers antioxidant, wound-healing, and anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Tea Tree Oil: Inhibits acne and is as effective as benzoyl peroxide in studies, without affecting normal skin flora. It’s anti-inflammatory but may cause redness, dryness, and irritation, especially in sensitive skin. Avoid use during pregnancy and lactation.
- Cinnamon: When combined with honey, can reduce acne.
- Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice or Mulethi): Has antibacterial and skin-lightening effects. Its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties can reduce acne but should be avoided in patients with hypertension, heart, or kidney problems.
- Rose Water: Helps reduce comedones (blackheads/whiteheads).
- Raw Honey: Reduces red pimples due to anti-inflammatory properties.
- Gram Flour (Besan): Absorbs excess oil, especially beneficial for oily skin.
The base ingredients are customized to match different skin types:
- Dry Skin: Oats and milk nourish and hydrate.
- Combination Skin: Chickpea flour and oats help balance oil production.
- Oily Skin: Multani mitti and besan help remove excess oils from greasy skin.
