Kasturi Haldi Powder | Organic Turmeric Powder

Kasturi Haldi is wild turmeric (Curcuma aromatica) — and it is not the same as cooking turmeric. This is the variety Indian women have used on skin for generations precisely because it gives all the brightening and clarifying benefits of haldi without staining the skin yellow.

If you have ever tried a turmeric face pack and walked around yellow for two days, this is the turmeric you were meant to use.

Key Benefits

• Does not stain — the single most important difference from kitchen turmeric.
• Supports an even skin tone and natural brightness.
• Traditionally used for acne and blemish-prone skin.
• Traditionally used to slow unwanted facial hair — a long-standing use in Indian bridal preparation.
• Soothes irritated skin.
• A core ubtan ingredient — it is in almost every traditional bridal ubtan.

Important — Not for Eating

Kasturi haldi is a cosmetic turmeric for external use only. Do not cook with it or take it internally. For culinary and internal use you need ordinary Curcuma longa.

How to Use

Basic face pack: ½ teaspoon kasturi haldi + 1 tablespoon besan (gram flour) + rose water or milk. Apply 10–15 minutes, rinse.

For oily skin: mix with multani mitti and rose water.
For dry skin: mix with milk cream or honey.
For glow: mix with curd and a little sugandhi ubtan.

Two to three times a week. A little goes a long way — half a teaspoon is genuinely enough for the whole face.

Available Sizes

100 g, 200 g, 500 g and 1 kg.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is kasturi haldi the same as normal turmeric?

No. Different species (Curcuma aromatica vs Curcuma longa). Kasturi is cosmetic and non-staining; regular haldi is culinary and stains heavily.

Will it really not stain my skin?

Correct — that is its whole reason for existing. Very fair skin may see a faint tint that rinses off.

Can I eat it?

No. External use only.

Does it reduce facial hair?

It is traditionally used for this over long periods. It is a slow, gradual traditional practice, not a hair removal method.

How often can I use it?

Two to three times a week as part of a face pack.

Do you ship to the USA and UK?

Yes — worldwide from India including USA, UK, Canada, UAE, Australia and Singapore.

For external use only. Not for internal consumption. Patch test before first use. Avoid contact with eyes.
