Ayurvedic products have become quite popular these days because they consist of natural ingredients and take good care of skin and hair. There are many different kinds of Ayurvedic cosmetics; the most basic type is Ayurvedic powder. Ukrainian-Indian beauty brand Triuga presents a collection of pure and natural Ayurvedic powders for all skin and hair types.
Ayurvedic powders are made from dried parts of various plants that have been used in traditional Indian medicine for centuries and even millennia. Most (but not all) Ayurvedic powders can be used both internally and externally. They have a pronounced medicinal and cosmetic effect and do not contain any synthetic additives or animal ingredients, which makes them suitable for vegans and environmentally conscious consumers.
Triuga, a Ukrainian-Indian beauty brand that specialises in Ayurvedic cosmetics, offers about two dozen Ayurvedic powders. All of them are 100% natural and very affordable. These powders are specifically designed for cosmetic use and can be used to make DIY face and hair masks, infusions and decoctions, as well as added to store-bought cosmetic products. Let’s take a closer look at some of the Ayurvedic powders produced by Triuga and their benefits.
Amla Powder
Amla is also known as emblic or Indian gooseberry. It is one of the most popular and widely used Ayurvedic plants. Amla is valued for its strong antioxidant effect due to its high vitamin C content. Amla powder is primarily used as a hair care product. It reduces hair loss, strengthens hair shafts along the entire length, boosts hair growth and prevents dandruff. You can also use amla to take care of your skin. It protects the skin against free radicals and thus slows down the ageing process.
Arjuna Powder
Arjuna powder is derived from the leaves, bark and fruit of the arjun tree, also known as hole matthi, neer maruthu, marudha maram, kumbuk or thella maddi. Due to its antibacterial, healing and protective properties, arjuna powder is a great product for problem skin. It stimulates microcirculation in the epidermis, prevents dry and flaky skin, improves skin elasticity and firmness, and gives a healthy complexion.
Ashwagandha Powder
Ashwagandha power is obtained from the plant known as Indian ginseng or winter cherry (Withania somnifera). It is usually produced from the roots and fruit of the plant, which are a rich source of phytosterols, alkaloids, coumarins, saponins and other biologically active substances. As a skin care product, ashwagandha reduces the early signs of ageing, makes the skin smoother, improves its elasticity and firmness, cleansers pores, relieves inflammation, and gives a healthy complexion. You can also use this powder to make your hair softer, stronger and shinier.
Brahmi Powder
Brahmi (Indian pennywort, water hyssop) is typically used in traditional Indian medicine to stimulate brain activity and boost performance. However, it also has a wide range of skin and hair benefits. For example, if you start adding brahmi to your face masks, your complexion will soon become healthy and glowing. In addition, brahmi powder makes the skin softer and smoother. When used as a hair care product, this Ayurvedic powder strengthens the hair, makes it smoother and glossier, and stimulates hair growth.
Guava Powder
Guava is cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions for its edible fruit which are a good source of vitamins and dietary minerals. Guava powder contains all these vitamins and minerals, too, making it a great cosmetic product. DIY face masks with guava powder have a moisturising and rejuvenating effect on the skin. They improve collagen and elastin synthesis, as well as produce an anti-inflammatory and soothing effect. When used as a hair care product, guava powder repairs damaged hair structure from root to tip, prevents split ends, and gives the hair additional volume and healthy shine.
Manjistha Powder
Manjistha, also known as manditti, majith or tamaralli, is considered to be one of the most powerful Ayurvedic herbs. It has strong anti-inflammatory properties. If you use manjistha powder to take care of your skin, it will improve the production of collagen, relieve inflammation and swelling, help to get rid of toxins and boost your skin’s natural protection. As a hair care product, manjistha strengthens hair roots and stimulates hair growth, prevents brittle hair and repairs damaged hair shafts.
Orange Powder
Orange powder is a common ingredient in chyawanprash, an Ayurvedic dietary supplement which was first prepared by a sage named Chyavana (at least this is what legends say). It can also be used for cosmetic purposes. Due to its high content of citric acid and vitamin C, orange powder is perfect for oily, combination and problem skin. It normalises sebum secretion, unclogs and tightens pores, prevents blackheads and pimples, relieves inflammation and speeds up healing.
Papaya Powder
Like guava, papaya is widely cultivated for its edible fruit. They contain papain, a natural enzyme with exfoliating and skin lightening properties. Papaya powder cleanses and polishes the skin, reduces pigmentation, removes dead cells from the skin surface, helps to get rid of toxins, tightens pores, fights acne and comedones, softens the skin, improves complexion and stimulates skin regeneration. When it comes to hair care, papaya powder repairs and strengthens hair shafts, prevents split ends, and restores the hair’s natural volume and shine.
