HerbtoniQ wild turmeric powder is kasturi haldi, the aromatic turmeric kept for skin care rather than cooking. Known as kasturi manjal in the south, Curcuma aromatica is the haldi our grandmothers reached for when making ubtan. These two 40 g pouches go a long way, because each pack needs only a small pinch to half a teaspoon.
Key Benefits
- Supports a fresh, naturally glowing-looking complexion.
- Helps reduce the look of tan and dullness with regular use.
- Traditionally used in Ayurveda in haldi lepas and bridal ubtans.
- Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth after rinsing.
- Aromatic, with a camphor-like scent that sets it apart from kitchen haldi.
What’s Inside
2 pouches, 80 g in total:
- 2 × Kasturi Haldi (Wild Turmeric) Powder (40 g each) – finely powdered Curcuma aromatica. It is meant for external use and is not a cooking spice.
How to Use
- Take about half a teaspoon of kasturi haldi; you do not need more.
- Combine with 1 teaspoon besan or sandalwood and enough curd, milk or rose water for a smooth paste.
- Apply on a clean face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
- Leave for 10–15 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water.
- Any faint yellow tint usually washes away with a mild cleanser; wear an old t-shirt, as haldi can mark fabric.
- Patch test on your inner arm 24 hours before first use.
Who Is It For
For men and women of all skin types, and a natural fit for anyone who makes their own ubtan. Dry skin can use it with milk or curd; oily skin with rose water and multani mitti.
Why HerbtoniQ
Only kasturi haldi goes into the pouch – finely powdered and hygienically packed in India. The trial size is practical because this is a powder you use in pinches, not spoonfuls.

How do I use kasturi haldi on my face?
Mix half a teaspoon with 1 teaspoon besan and curd, apply for 10–15 minutes and rinse. Use once or twice a week.
Does wild turmeric stain the skin?
It tends to leave much less colour than kitchen turmeric, but a light tint is possible. Use a small quantity and rinse well.
