Peyal Nalungu Maavu — The Original Tamil Bridal Bath Powder

Before soap arrived, every Tamil home used Nalungu Maavu. Ours is stone-ground from 30+ traditional herbs — no soap base, no chemicals, no foaming agents. Use it as a face pack or as a full-body bath powder.

Key Ingredients

  • Multani Mitti (Fuller's Earth) — pulls out excess oil and deep-cleans pores
  • Manjistha — the classic Ayurvedic blood purifier for clear skin
  • Rose Petals — soothes, tones and leaves a natural fragrance
  • Aavaram Poo (Senna Auriculata) — Tamil Nadu's traditional tan remover and skin softener
  • Sandalwood — cooling, calms acne and evens out tone
  • + 30 more traditional herbs

How to Use

Mix 1–2 teaspoons with rose water, raw milk or curd into a smooth paste. Apply on face or body. Leave 10–15 minutes and rinse with plain water while massaging gently. Use 2–3 times a week.

Good to Know

  • 100% natural powder — no soap, no chemicals, no preservatives
  • Perfect for bridal prep and pre-wedding skin routines
  • Safe for the whole family, including children
  • Handmade in small batches in Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers, no fine print.

Can I use it on babies?
Nalungu maavu is traditionally used for babies in Tamil households. Do a small patch test first, keep it well away from the eyes and use a soft, light hand.
How long will delivery take?
Orders are packed and dispatched within 1 to 2 working days. Delivery usually takes 3 to 6 days depending on your pincode. You will get tracking by SMS and email as soon as it ships. Shipping is free on orders above ₹499.
Can I pay cash on delivery?
Yes, Cash on Delivery is available on most pincodes. COD carries a ₹100 handling charge, so this product is ₹350 on COD versus ₹250 prepaid. Paying online (UPI, cards, netbanking, wallets) saves you that ₹100, and prepaid orders are picked, packed and dispatched first.
What is the shelf life and how should I store it?
12 months from manufacture. Keep completely dry.. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Because we make everything in small batches without preservatives, keeping the pack closed and dry matters.
What if I am not happy with it?
Unopened items can be returned within 7 days of delivery. If anything arrives damaged or wrong, write to kumkumadithailam@gmail.com with your order number and a photo and we will sort it out.
