What makes Vrudhi Kumkuma unique
Most people don’t think twice about the kumkuma they buy. It’s red. It’s cheap. It works. Until it doesn’t. It stains. It itches. It darkens the skin. Because what you’re buying isn’t real kumkuma. It’s dye. The same stuff used in textiles, now sitting on your skin. And on the Agneya Chakra: the space between the brows, the point of spiritual awakening. If the kumkuma isn’t pure, it’s believed to block energy rather than enhance it.
That’s what makes Vrudhi Kumkuma different. It’s not just a powder. It’s a return to how kumkuma was meant to be. Turmeric and lime. That’s it. No fillers, no fragrances, no toxins. The red hue? It’s natural, from the reaction between turmeric and lime, not from a chemical factory. This is the kumkuma you’d find in old Indian homes, the kind used for daily tilak, pujas, and temple offerings. Safe, sacred, and true to its roots.

No. Unlike chemical kumkuma, this one nourishes the skin, leaving no dark spots or residue. - Why is this more expensive than regular kumkuma?
