Source

Sushruta Cikitsa 25.21: “The use of a cosmetic compound consisting of powdered Haritaki, leaves of Nimba, the bark of mango, stems of the pomegranate, and the flowers and leaves of Madyantika pasted together, imparts a god-like effulgence to the complexion of a man.”

Why this is one of the most reliable face packs in the entire corpus

Five herbs, all unambiguously identified, all cosmetically safe, all locally available, with a clean astringent + anti-microbial + mild dye + complexion-supporting profile. No Schedule-E ingredients, no β-asarone limits, no CITES-restricted species.

For a daily use face pack, this is the gold-standard classical recipe.

How to apply Mix as dry powder. At use, paste with rose water (or raw cow milk classical). Apply to face/neck. Leave 20 min. Lift off, then cool water splash. · 3× per week.
Vaidya review required This formulation requires verification by a qualified vaidya before clinical or commercial use — for botanical-identity confirmation, dose calibration, and patient-population safety.
