About this product
What Zafrani Ubtan is
Ubtan is the old home face pack, often used before weddings by brides and their families. This one is built on saffron (zafran). The full ingredient list is: saffron (zafran), turmeric (haldi), sandalwood (chandan) powder, lemon peel powder, gram flour (besan), pomegranate flower powder, orange peel powder, rose petal powder and multani mitti. It comes as a dry powder that you mix into a paste each time. The besan and peel powders gently lift away dead skin and surface oil, leaving the face soft, smooth and fresh, while sandalwood, rose and multani mitti feel cooling in hot weather. Saffron is traditionally prized for a radiant complexion and is known for helping with sun tan. With regular use the mix may help fade tan, lighten dark spots and blemishes, and even out skin tone, and besan and lemon peel are traditionally used for acne-prone and oily skin. Rubbing the dried paste off in small circles is also a traditional way to make fine facial hair lighter and finer over time. Saffron, turmeric and sandal give the warm, radiant, glowing look that zafrani ubtan is prized for.
- How to use
- Mix a spoon of ubtan with milk, rose water, plain water, cream or yoghurt (dahi) into a smooth paste. Spread it on the face, neck or arms, avoiding the eyes. Let it dry until nearly set, then rinse with lukewarm water, rubbing gently in small circles so the paste lifts dead skin as it comes off. For oily skin, mix with water or rose water only; skip the cream and yoghurt. Once or twice a week suits most skin, and more often in the weeks before a wedding. Patch-test the inner arm first.
- Choosing a pack
- 100 g is a trial and a few weeks of weekly use. 250 g suits regular use. 500 g is for a family, or for the weeks around a wedding.
- Safety notes
- Turmeric and saffron can leave a faint yellow tint on skin and cloth. Lemon and orange peel can sting on freshly waxed, threaded or broken skin. Keep it out of the eyes and stop if it stings. Not a substitute for medical treatment.
FAQs
What do I mix it with?
Rose water, milk or yoghurt. For oily skin, use water or rose water only.
Will it stain?
Turmeric and saffron may leave a faint yellow tint that fades with the next wash. Use an old towel.
Zafrani or sandal ubtan?
Zafrani ubtan adds saffron to the sandalwood and turmeric base, which is why it costs more.
Does ubtan remove facial hair?
Not in one go. Rubbing the dried paste off in small circles is a traditional way to make fine facial hair lighter and finer over weeks of regular use. It will not shift thick or dark hair.
What is Zafrani Ubtan used for?
As a traditional pre-wedding face and body pack (for mehndi or mayun) and as a weekly face mask. It gently exfoliates and cleans away surface oil, and with saffron it is known for a warm, radiant glow. With regular use it may help fade tan, lighten dark spots and blemishes, even out skin tone and gradually reduce fine facial hair. It feels cooling on the skin and leaves the face soft, smooth and fresh.
