Even if you’ve never heard of ubtan or its skin-friendly properties, you’re probably already familiar with it from the auspicious Haldi ceremony that’s a staple of Indian weddings.
Recall the yellow paste that is applied to the bride and groom’s entire bodies?
Ubtan, a traditional Ayurvedic recipe to detoxify the body and skin, is exactly what that paste is.
One of the crucial phases in the Solah Shringar ritual, which consists of the sixteen techniques to make the woman’s body beautiful before the marriage, is the Ayurvedic massage with Ubtan (also known as Ubvartan).
The removal of dead skin cells from the body is thought to help the bride and groom prepare for the new life by helping them to separate from the old.
The history of Ubtan can be traced back to the Vedic era, according to ancient Indian literature. Since then, ubtan has gained popularity for skin protection and aesthetics.
What is Ubtan Powder?
Snanamrit Ubtan powder is an Ayurvedic body cleanser that contains vital herbs and minerals to produce healthy, young-looking skin. The mixture has a lovely scent of herbs, spices, cereals, pulses, and nuts, all of which work to deeply cleanse the skin and bring out its natural glow.
Oatmeal, chickpea flour, almonds, turmeric, masoor dal, neem powder, and fennel are some of the more popular ingredients used in the various ubtan recipes. To make the skin look more radiant, some people even mix saffron and sandalwood powder into the ubtan paste.
Ubtan’s special formulation of ingredients smoothes and softens while effectively cleansing and exfoliating.
