By inhibiting tyrosinase, sandalwood gently down-regulates excess melanin synthesis, helping fade dark spots and unify tone. Meanwhile, Nagakesar improves capillary flow and dermal nutrition. This enhanced microcirculation oxygenates skin cells, revives their vitality, and brightness. Together, they don’t just lighten - they clarify and energise the tone at its core.

Saffron and Manjistha smoothens skin & brings radiance by working on both pigmentation and metabolic sluggishness. Saffron’s crocin moderates melanin activity while fueling cellular renewal, clarity, and youthful function. Manjistha detoxifies the lymph and blood, reducing inflammatory pigmentation.

Raw milk, yogurt, and honey restore suppleness by deeply hydrating and renewing the epidermal layer. Lactic acid in both milk and yogurt offers gentle exfoliation, sloughing off fatigue-tinted dead cells while the probiotic and enzymatic profile strengthens the skin barrier and microbiome.

Beetroot boosts dermal blood flow, leading to a natural flush and heightened tone in skin dulled by stress, screen-time, or poor circulation. Tuberose adds a rare floral bioactivity - it improves cellular respiration and reduces stress-induced inflammation, creating a relaxed, oxygenated, and visibly re-energised skin state.

Almond, sesame oil, and Daruharidra build resilience by fortifying the skin barrier and neutralising daily oxidative stress. Almond oil infuses the skin with vitamin E and ceramide-supporting lipids, essential for sealing moisture and creating a naturally luminous finish. Daruharidra clears microbial imbalance and inflammatory congestion, refining tone and preserving long-term clarity and texture.

Sandalwood gently tightens pores and calms inflammation. Its natural astringent effect enhances the skin’s surface coherence. Nagakesar supports this further by improving microcirculation, delivering nutrients and oxygen more efficiently, visibly refining texture and evening tone. Raw milk and yogurt, rich in lactic acid and essential fats, gently loosen dead cells.

As the lepa sets, it forms a soft barrier that traps warmth and moisture, gently boosting blood flow and lymphatic drainage. This warm, moist micro-climate mimics the skin’s natural healing state, speeding up detox and preparing skin to absorb nutrients better.

Occlusion softens the skin’s barrier lipids, making it more permeable without damaging it. This allows deeper delivery of essential nutrients like phytoactives, fatty acids, and lacto-compounds to skin cells.

The warmth boosts microcirculation, waking up capillaries for better oxygen and nutrient delivery. This energises skin cells, supports collagen production, and flushes out toxins—revitalising skin from within.

With the skin more receptive, it absorbs vitamins, enzymes, and herbal actives more efficiently. These nutrients target cell renewal, inflammation, pigmentation, and barrier repair for visibly healthier skin.

As the lepa dries, it helps restore the skin’s natural pH and seals in actives. Ferments and enzymes support good bacteria, reduce puffiness, and calm hidden inflammation that dulls the skin.

After removal, skin looks smoother, circulation stays high, and it’s primed for hydration. With cell activity boosted and the barrier reset, skin reflects light better—revealing a radiant glow.

Radiant skin reflects light uniformly, and this optical effect is heavily influenced by the smoothness of the stratum corneum. When dead skin cells accumulate unevenly on the surface, light scatters irregularly, causing skin to appear dull, textured, or ashy. On the other hand, when the skin surface is even and hydrated, light reflects cleanly, creating a natural “glow” or sheen.

Skin radiance is also powered by good microvascular circulation. Blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients to skin cells, while flushing away toxins. Poor circulation from stress, cold weather, or fatigue can make skin look sallow and lifeless. Ingredients that stimulate circulation boost blood flow to the dermis, encouraging a rosy, oxygenated glow. Other techniques like facial massage also help by activating capillaries and reviving dull complexions through increased perfusion.

Hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and uneven melanin distribution scatter light and create a patchy appearance. Glowing skin isn’t necessarily fair—it’s even-toned. When melanogenesis is overstimulated (by UV exposure, inflammation, or hormonal shifts), it disrupts this uniformity. Glow-boosting formulas often include melanin modulators like licorice and vitamin C, which reduce excess melanin production and help visibly unify skin tone. The result: more consistent light reflection and a visibly brighter face.

Water plumps the skin from within, while lipids lock moisture in and create surface sheen. Both are essential for a healthy glow. Without water, skin looks dull and shriveled; without lipids, it looks flat and matte. Aloe vera draw water into the epidermis, while oils seal it in. Together, they restore the hydro-lipid film, resulting in dewy, bouncy, glow-filled skin. This balance is especially critical in colder weather when both water and lipid levels dip.

Radiant skin reflects the health of its epidermal turnover. Young skin renews every 28 days, shedding old cells and revealing newer, brighter ones. But with age, stress, or inflammation, cell turnover slows, and dead cells linger on the surface, making skin look grey and lifeless. Retinoids and exfoliants like lactic acid speed up this turnover. Regular renewal ensures that fresh, reflective cells reach the surface more quickly—fuelling a consistent, natural glow rather than a temporary shine.

Pollution, UV rays, and blue light bombard the skin with free radicals, which oxidize lipids, dull cellular metabolism, and degrade collagen—leading to flat, uneven, and tired-looking skin. Antioxidants neutralize these radicals, reviving skin tone, preventing hyperpigmentation, and preserving collagen clarity. They also boost cellular energy (via mitochondrial function), so the skin not only looks but also behaves younger and brighter, holding its glow longer through the day.
