What is Kunkumadi?
Kunkumadi is a popular and costly spice. However, apart from culinary use, it has a significant role in the cosmetic industry. It is often referred to as 'red gold.' But why? Have you ever wondered where Kunkumadi comes from? Kunkumadi, or saffron, is the dried stigma of the flower Crocus sativus . It is very delicate and requires favourable climatic conditions for growth. In India, it is widely grown in the Jammu and Kashmir region.

Kunkumadi has antioxidant components like crocin, crocetin, safranal, and kaempferol. In Ayurveda, Kunkumadi thailam is commonly used to treat different skin problems. Using Kunkumadi thailam alone might be expensive and an additional part of your routine. Instead of adding new products or systems to our routine, why not give ourselves a Kunkumadi thailam -infused bath daily? Sounds like a luxury, right?

History of Kunkumadi
Kunkumadi thailam is believed to have been originally created by the Vedic twin Gods of medicine - Ashwini Kumars. The older among the twins, Nasatya Deva, is regarded as the deity of health, whereas the younger twin, Dasara, is regarded as the deity of medicine. They are believed to bring divine herbs and formulations from the heavens to help humankind. One such formulation is the Kunkumadi thailam .
Ayurvedic scriptures like Ashtanga Hridayam and Bhaisajya Ratnavalli have a step-by-step procedure for preparing this oil. The literature says that 26 ingredients are required to prepare this oil.
In Ayurveda, Kunkumadi thailam is considered to balance the tridoshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), making it suitable for all skin types. It particularly addresses imbalances related to Pitta dosha, which often manifests as skin inflammation and hyperpigmentation.

Reasons why you should use Kunkumadi for your skin
Helps in Anti-aging:
Kunkumadi contains antioxidants like crocin, crocetin, safranal, and kaempferol. These compounds help neutralize free radicals and prevent oxidative stress, which can damage skin cells and accelerate aging. Studies highlight that saffron's antioxidant properties contribute significantly to its photoprotective and anti-aging effects.
Reduces Pigmentation & Brightens Skin:
This is one of the most popularly known benefits of saffron. The spice's external application and internal consumption brighten the skin. It helps in reducing dark spots, blemishes, and pigmentation. It also helps in inhibiting melanin production due to the presence of the enzyme tyrosinase in saffron. Melanin is responsible for the pigmentation of our skin. This results in promoting an even skin tone. It also helps in treating dark circles.
Anti-inflammatory properties:
Its anti-inflammatory properties help heal redness and acne. Saffron's antioxidant properties also help rejuvenate the skin. Regular application can help manage inflammatory skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis. The oil's anti-inflammatory properties also make it suitable for sensitive skin types prone to irritation and redness.

Natural moisturizer:
The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of saffron act as a natural moisturizer for the skin. Saffron's active compounds improve skin texture and hydration, making the skin appear more radiant and healthy, thus giving a healthy glow.
Best Skin Exfoliator:
Saffron helps exfoliate the skin. Exfoliation is an essential process in a skincare routine that removes dead skin cells and unclogs pores. Kunkumadi thailam supports this by promoting cell turnover, which means removing dead skin cells and regenerating new cells. Regular application helps smooth the skin's texture, reduce roughness, and promote a radiant glow.

How to include Kunkumadi soap and maintain a simple skincare routine
Kunkumadi soap can be safely used on the face and body. Its light fragrance will help you feel fresh for hours. However, you can take a few steps this summer to have healthy skin.
Step 1: Use Kunkumadi soap as a cleanser
Wash your face thoroughly with water and Kunkumadi Glycerine Soap. Pat dry with a soft cloth, preferably a cotton towel. Make sure that the towel is clean. Since your face is fresh and the pores are open, they are vulnerable to germs, which will lead to pimples. It is recommended that you use a clean towel that's washed regularly, not just for the face but for the entire body.
Step 2: Use rose water as a toner
Rose water acts as a natural toner. Take a cotton ball soaked in rose water and gently apply it to your face. Focus more on the area below the eyes. Don't apply it to the waterline of your eyes, but you can massage it just gently below your eyes. It helps in giving a cooling effect and also reduces dark circles.
Step 3: Use aloe vera as a moisturizer
If you have dry skin, apply aloe vera gel. It acts as a moisturizer and a primer and can be used regardless of the season. Unlike synthetic chemical moisturizers, aloe vera gel is natural, skin-friendly, and the best moisturizer for dry skin. Also, it is non-greasy, light and will not clog pores. Aloe vera gel is the best organic moisturizer that helps maintain clear and healthy skin.
Step 4: Use Kunkumadi cream.
If you are still looking for the right cream for your skincare routine, try using Herbodaya's Kunkumadi cream and the above products for better results. It does not contain any harmful chemicals like paraben and can be safely used daily.
(Optional)
Use a face pack once or twice a week.
Your skin deserves to be pampered at least once or twice a week. You can do this by using an organic and natural face pack at home. This not only helps replenish your skin but also gives you a chance to do some self-care. Isn't that important? Multanimatti acts as an excellent source for this.
