What is Kumkumadi Tailam?
A concentrated Ayurvedic oil formula made by slow-infusing 26 precious herbs — led by Kashmiri saffron, sandalwood, lotus and manjistha — into cold-pressed sesame oil. Used as a nightly face serum to brighten complexion, fade dark spots, and even skin tone.
How long until I see results?
Most customers notice softer, brighter skin in 2–3 weeks of nightly use. Visible reduction in dark spots and pigmentation typically takes 4–6 weeks of consistent application.
How do I use it?
Cleanse your face. Warm 2–3 drops between fingertips. Massage upward in circular motions across face and neck for 1–2 minutes. Leave overnight. Use every night.
Is it safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes — the formula is 100% natural and free of parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrance. We always recommend a small patch test behind the ear before first use.
Can I use it during the day?
Kumkumadi can increase photosensitivity, so we recommend night use. If you do use it during the day, always follow with broad-spectrum SPF 30+.
Will it make my skin oily?
No. Our oil is lightweight and absorbs quickly. Suitable for all skin types — dry, oily, combination, and normal.
Can men use it?
Absolutely. It works equally well on all skin types and genders.
Can pregnant or breastfeeding women use it?
Our formula uses natural ingredients, but we always recommend consulting your doctor before using any new skincare product during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
How many drops should I use? How long will the bottle last?
Just 2–3 drops are enough for the entire face and neck. A 15 ml bottle typically lasts 6–8 weeks with nightly use.
What is the shelf life?
24 months from the date of manufacturing. Store with the lid closed in a cool, dry place. For external use only.
Where is it made?
Handcrafted in our small workshop in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.
