Frequently Asked Questions
-
Speciality ingredients are the distinctive natural beauty and wellness staples that do not fit the herb or oil categories, such as rose water, multani mitti (fuller's earth), and natural mineral salts. They are treasured single ingredients, often used in DIY face packs, toners, baths, and traditional skincare rituals.
- Rose water, a classic natural toner and coolant.
- Multani mitti / fuller's earth, a traditional clay for face packs.
- Natural mineral salts for baths and scrubs.
-
Multani mitti (fuller's earth) is a natural mineral clay traditionally valued for gently cleansing the skin, absorbing excess oil, and refreshing the complexion, which is why it is such a classic ingredient in face packs and masks, especially for oily and combination skin. Mix the powder with water, rose water, or other natural ingredients into a paste, apply, let it dry, then rinse. It can be drying, so those with dry or sensitive skin should use it less often and add moisture. It is a time-honoured, budget-friendly natural skincare staple.
-
Rose water is a gentle, fragrant natural toner traditionally valued for refreshing and soothing the skin, supporting an even, radiant look, and adding a calming touch to skincare, and it suits nearly all skin types. Use it as a toner after cleansing, a refreshing facial mist, a base for face packs, or even a soothing eye compress. Its cooling nature is especially lovely for Pitta and warm weather. Choose a pure, additive-free rose water for the best results. It is one of the most versatile and beloved natural beauty staples.
-
A classic homemade pack needs just a base and a liquid.
- Take a spoon of multani mitti (or other clay/powder).
- Mix with rose water (or plain water) into a smooth paste.
- Apply an even layer to clean skin, avoiding the eyes.
- Leave until almost dry, then rinse with cool water.
Patch-test first, keep packs to a couple of times a week, and moisturise afterwards.
-
Yes, natural mineral salts like Himalayan salt are traditionally valued for relaxing, mineral-rich baths and gentle body scrubs that leave the skin feeling soft and refreshed. Dissolve a handful in a warm bath for a soothing soak, or mix with a little oil for an exfoliating scrub. Avoid salt scrubs on broken, irritated, or freshly shaved skin, and rinse well. For most people they make a simple, pleasant addition to bath and body rituals; those with skin conditions should check with a professional first.
-
Keep them clean, sealed, and in suitable conditions.
- Store rose water in a cool place or the fridge, tightly closed; pure rose water keeps best chilled.
- Keep clays and salts dry and sealed, away from moisture.
- Use clean, dry utensils to avoid contamination.
Stored well, clays and salts last a long time, while pure rose water is best used within its recommended period.
