Ubtan Bath Powder (150 g)

Advait Living’s Herbal Ubtan Body Powder

Ubtan powder is a traditional blend of plant-based ingredients used as a cleanser and exfoliator for both face and body. This natural ubtan powder is made from a combination of pulses, herbs, flowers, and clays that work together to clean the skin without relying on synthetic agents. It is typically used as a paste, prepared fresh for each use, and applied during bathing. As an ubtan powder for bath, it functions as a complete cleansing step rather than an additional treatment.

Ubtan and Ayurveda 

In Ayurveda, ubtan is used as part of dinacharya (daily routine) and snana (bathing practices). The goal is to cleanse without stripping the skin. Pulses like chickpea flour and green gram remove buildup, clays absorb excess oil, and ingredients like sandalwood and rose help cool and smooth the skin’s surface.

Ubtan is also traditionally used in pre-wedding rituals and seasonal routines, where it is applied regularly to maintain skin clarity and softness. The formulation is designed to work with the body over time, not deliver immediate surface-level results.

How Ubtan Powder Works on the Skin 

This Ayurvedic herbal ubtan powder works through two primary mechanisms:

• Mild exfoliation: The natural grain from pulses like chickpea flour and green gram helps remove dead skin cells and surface buildup
• Absorption: Clays like Multani mitti absorb excess oil and impurities from the skin

Because it does not contain surfactants, it does not strip the skin’s natural oils. Instead, it cleans while maintaining moisture balance. With regular use, it helps improve skin texture, reduce dullness, and support a more even appearance.

Plus, each ingredient in this ubtan body powder serves a defined role:

• Chickpea flour (besan): Cleanses and removes surface impurities
• Green gram (moong dal): Provides gentle exfoliation and supports skin renewal
• Multani mitti: Absorbs excess oil and helps clear pores
• Sandalwood: Helps tone and cool the skin
• Ashwagandha: Supports skin resilience and overall balance
• Orange peel: Aids in mild exfoliation and improves skin brightness
• Rose petals: Help soothe and refresh the skin
• Khus khus (poppy seeds): Adds mild exfoliation while softening the skin
• Moringa: Supports detoxification and skin vitality

Each ingredient contributes directly to how the ubtan performs.

Texture, Aroma & Experience

The powder has a slightly coarse texture due to its natural composition. This is intentional and allows it to exfoliate gently when applied.

When mixed with water or other bases, it forms a smooth paste that spreads easily on the skin. It does not foam and does not leave a slippery or synthetic feel.

The aroma is mild and earthy, coming from the herbs, flowers, and sandalwood. There are no added fragrances, so the scent remains subtle and fades quickly after use.

How to Store Our Ubtan Bath Powder Properly?

• Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture
• Keep the container tightly sealed after use
• Always use dry hands or a clean spoon to take out the powder
• Avoid storing in humid areas like bathrooms

Since this is a preservative-free product, proper storage helps maintain its texture, aroma, and usability over time.

How Is Advait Living’s Ubtan Powder Prepared? 

Our natural ubtan is prepared with the same discipline followed in traditional formulations, where each ingredient is handled on its own terms before being brought together. The process is deliberate, measured, and kept close to its origin. 

1. Sourcing from Regenerative Farms

All ingredients, pulses, herbs, flowers, and clays, are sourced from our own and partner farms where crops are grown without pesticides. Each is harvested at full maturity to ensure proper texture and functionality in the blend.

2. Cleaning and Primary Sorting

Every ingredient is cleaned to remove dust, husk, and field residue. It is then sorted to eliminate immature, broken, or inconsistent material. This step ensures that only usable-grade ingredients move forward.

3. Sun Drying, Ingredient by Ingredient

Each ingredient is sun-dried separately.

• Pulses are dried until they reach a stable hardness for grinding
• Herbs and flowers are dried to retain aroma and colour
• Clays are dried to remove excess moisture without over-processing

This step is done without artificial heat to preserve natural properties.

4. Separate Grinding

All ingredients are ground individually, not together.

• Chickpea flour and green gram are milled to a slightly coarse texture for exfoliation
• Rose petals, sandalwood, and herbs are ground finer to retain aroma and ensure smooth application
• Multani mitti is processed to maintain its absorbent quality

Grinding separately allows control over texture and prevents one ingredient from affecting another.

5. Measured Blending

The powders are then combined in fixed proportions.

This determines how the ubtan spreads, cleans, and rinses. The balance ensures it is neither too abrasive nor too fine, and that it performs as both cleanser and exfoliator.

There is no polishing, no colour correction, and no attempt to standardise appearance.

6. No Chemical Processing

No preservatives, fragrances, or additives are introduced at any stage. The blend remains a direct composition of ground plant and mineral ingredients.

7. Controlled Packing

The final powder is packed in dry, controlled conditions to prevent moisture exposure. Since the product contains no stabilisers, maintaining low humidity during packing is essential for shelf stability.

Orders are processed within 2–3 business days from confirmation. Delivery typically takes 5–7 business days depending on location across India.

The ubtan is packed in a dry, airtight, food-safe container to prevent moisture exposure during transit. Since the product contains no preservatives, maintaining dryness is critical to its stability, so each unit is sealed and cushioned to avoid contamination or humidity contact.
