Wild Turmeric Powder
Our Wild Turmeric Powder (also known as kasturi manjal) is derived from the rhizomes of Curcuma aromatica, a fragrant variety of turmeric traditionally used in beauty rituals across South Asia. Unlike culinary turmeric, this variety is cherished for its gentle aroma and skin‑friendly properties. It has been used for generations to create brightening face masks, soothe blemishes and leave skin smooth and radiant.
In hair care, it can be mixed with oils or other herbal powders to help maintain scalp health. Our powder is 100 % pure and free from additives, ideal for DIY masks and body scrubs. Because of its natural yellow pigment, it can temporarily tint the skin, but it generally washes off easily when used in recommended quantities.
