Kasthuri Manjal Powder for Skin and Face Care| Wild Turmeric powder | Curcuma Aromatica | Helps Acne skin (3.5 oz)

I got influenced to buy this, and have been enjoying making homemade face masks with it. I mix this product with Manuka honey, and noticed my face brighten with each use. I don’t have any issues with my skin staining, though I am oil toned. Would recommend, and definitely anticipate buying more once I get through this portion.

I add this products to my facial cleanser, my homemade masks, and my bathing products. The scars on my face are beginning to fade. A little goes a long way.

I’m using on my face pack but it’s usually same as Costco turmeric!

To use it on a mask it’s great!

Not sure why, but this powder makes my skin burn!! I mixed it with water and it wad very uncomfortable. I had to throw it out.

As described. Seems to be nice turmeric. Exactly as it should be.

My face actually felt cleansed afterward.

This is an 8oz bag of fine yellow/orange powder from the roots of the Wild Tumeric plant, Curcuma Aromatica--not to be confused with the Tumeric plant, Curcuma Longa. The Wild Tumeric plant is traditionally used as a food colorant (yellows, of course), and a flavoring for condiments; the wild version actually has a bit more flavor than the domesticated Tumeric, with a herbal, ginger-type of taste to it. It contains a bunch of volatile oils and chemically active compounds like curcumin--definitely worth looking up online, since reviews aren't allowed to give medical information.As for applying this as a paste to the skin--do it at night, in a clean space like a bathroom, and only leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes, just as the instructions on the bag say. Make sure you have dish soap or an exfoliant on hand in case your skin takes natural dye more easily, so you can remove the pigmentation, but generally this will NOT leave a color behind in your skin. However, you should do a test swatch on your skin where it won't be publicly visible, just to check how your own skin takes it. Also, if you have a very high iron content in your water, that will act as a dye mordant (a fixative, making dye last longer) which might actually stain your skin. SO, test the effect, and if you don't find a lasting stain, then this is a very nice toner for facial skin with lots of neat beneficial compounds. If you do find that it stains your skin too much, just take it to the kitchen instead and use it in things like yellow rice (saffron alternative), curry, etc.This powder comes from India and the distributor provides their full contact information, including address, email and phone number. The batch I received in August, 2024 has an expiration date of March, 2026. It came in a small bag inside a resealable, heat-sealed bag, and the labels are in clear, coherent English.

I have been using for about one week. I can see the changes. Dark spot is getting better.

I love using this in my face packs. Works wonders on my face
