FAQ

Are cleansing grains and ubtan the same thing?

In essence cleansing grains, ubtan, bath powder, cleansing powder, soap free cleansing powder all belong to the same category. There are small differences, for example ubtan is formulated on Ayurvedic principles. But they are all coarse powders with clays, lentils, oats, herbs, botanicals, essential oils and other skin nourishing powders that are meant to cleanse and gently exfoliate the skin

What should be my basic bath routine with cleansing grains?

Cleansing grains are easy to use, they work for all skin types in all seasons and are gender-neutral. For adults, we recommend cleansing grains in the shower followed by our facial toner & oil for cleansing-toning-moisturizing routine. For children, skip the toner. Apply the oil on damp skin to lock in moisture for longer.

Can I use this daily?

We recommend using our cleansing grains 3x every week on alternate days for the full body. The natural ingredients cleanse and gently exfoliate without irritating the skin or affecting the water-oil balance. So even if you feel the need to use it more often, go ahead! However if you notice any discomfort, it’s your skin telling you to slow down. Listen to it!

Do I need to apply face masks additionally?

It’s true that cleansing grains can also be applied as a face mask and since it gently exfoliates you may notice less and less dead skin build up. Having said that, it may still be beneficial to add face masks 1x weekly to your routine. This can be a more targeted approach for specific treatments in addition to the gentle care your cleansing grains provide

How is it possible to use the same product on adults and kids?

It lies in the secret of a well-formulated product where ingredients are chosen carefully that can work across ages and skin types yet show visible results on each individual’s skin as desired. Our natural ingredients are safe to be used on sensitive skin including children. If you’re trying it for the first time, we always recommend a patch test.

Why is it not premixed ready to use for convenience?

Two reasons mainly. One, we would have to add heavy preservatives to maintain its efficacy. Even if these are natural preservatives, we like our products without them as much as possible. Your skin will too. Second, dry products are of better value. This is concentrated 80gms of powder, when mixed with aqua it takes over half the product weight. So what you get may be diluted.
