About the Product

Genuine Kasturi Turmeric Powder (Kasthuri Turmeric / Kasthuri Manjal / Kasturi Haldi) – Curcuma aromatica from Kerala.

Kasthuri Turmeric (Curcuma aromatica) is a rare, pale-cream turmeric, traditionally prized in Kerala for face and skin care. It is not the bright yellow turmeric used in cooking. It has a warm, camphor-like aroma and a gentle, cooling feel on the skin.

HorticoGreens Original Kasthuri Turmeric Powder comes from Kerala horticulturists who know the difference between the real thing and the cheaper look-alikes. It is pure powder with nothing added, so it is easy to mix into your own face pack at home.

Pure by nature. Trusted by generations.

How to use

How to Use

  1. Take 1-2 teaspoon of powder in a clean, dry bowl.
  2. Mix with one of these - pure milk, curd, pure honey, rose water or plain water - to make a smooth paste.
  3. Apply evenly on the face and neck, avoiding the eyes.
  4. Leave for 20 to 30 minutes.
  5. Rinse with water and pat dry.

Use 2 to 3 times a week for best results.

Patch test first: Apply a small quantity of paste on skin other than the face (such as the inner elbow) for 20-30 minutes, wait for 24 hours before regular use. Not for people allergic to turmeric.

Storage & Shelf Life

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

What is Kasthuri turmeric, and how is it different from regular turmeric?

Kasthuri turmeric is Curcuma aromatica, pale cream in colour with camphoraceous aroma, and is non-staining. It is traditionally used for skin care. Cheap substitute, Manja Koova (Curcuma zedoria) is bright yellow in colour, lacks camphoraceous aroma, and leaves stains.

Will it stain my skin or clothes?

Kasthuri turmeric is non-staining on skin when used as directed. Rinse thoroughly and keep the paste away from light-coloured fabrics.

Is it suitable for all skin types?

It is traditionally gentle and suits most skin types. Always do a patch test first for 20-30 minutes, wait for 24 hours before first use. Avoid it if you are allergic to turmeric.

How often should I use it?

Use the product regularly for two to three weeks for best results. Consistent use works better than heavy use.

Can it be used on the body or as a bathing powder?

Yes. Make a paste with virgin coconut oil and use it as a body pack on arms, legs and back. Patch-test first and rinse well.

Who makes HorticoGreens Kasthuri Turmeric?

HorticoGreens is a Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala brand founded in 2018 by three horticulturists. Two of them served as faculty at Kerala Agricultural University.

How do I identify genuine Kasthuri turmeric?

Genuine Kasthuri turmeric (Curcuma aromatica) powder is cream to wheat-bran in colour, with a mild camphor-like aroma, and does not leave a strong yellow stain. Bright yellow powder without that aroma is likely a substitute.

Is Kasthuri turmeric the same as Amba Haldi?

No. Amba Haldi is mango ginger (Curcuma amada), a different plant. HorticoGreens Kasthuri Turmeric is Curcuma aromatica.

How is the powder made?

The rhizomes are cleaned, sliced, sun-dried and ground. Nothing is added.

Can I eat Kasthuri turmeric or use it in cooking?

No. HorticoGreens Kasthuri Turmeric is for external skin care only. For cooking, use regular turmeric (Curcuma longa).

Can I use it on my face every day?

We recommend 2 to 3 times a week. Leave the pack on for 20 to 30 minutes, then rinse well.

Does it help with acne marks or pigmentation?

Kasthuri turmeric is traditionally used in face packs for clear, even-looking skin. It is not a medical treatment, and results vary. For active acne or a skin condition, consult a doctor.

Does it remove facial hair?

Many families use it traditionally for this, but we don’t promise hair removal. Results vary from person to person.

How much does it cost?

25g is ₹139, 50g is ₹249 and 100g is ₹389, with free delivery across India.

Do you offer Cash on Delivery?

No. All orders are prepaid. Delivery is free across India.

My wife has been using horticogreens kasthurimanjal for almost an year. She is so happy with the product. It’s purely organic and the species of Kasthuri manjal is pure it seems. Being a doc who treats skin, I never used to recommend manjal before, after seeing problems with the other type of manjal. This one is amazingly reaction free. Try this out.

The best kasturi turmeric power available in the market. This is the most pure, organic and original kasturi turmeric powder I have used. After using it for a week, my skin on the face became clean and smooth. Skin tone became even.

Heals and rejuvenate skin giving it a clear and smooth finish. It's an excellent product for all types of skin. A small amount mixed with malaise, milk or curd can do wonders for skin. I have seen the effect in 1 week time after a regular usage.

Highly recommended! We have been using hortico’s kasthuri turmeric powder for the past few months and i absolutely vouch for this brand. On application, it feels very refreshing and soothing unlike other artifical turmeric powders that stings and burns on facial skin. I mix it with Rose water and use twice weekly. it cleans the face from excess sebum, dirt and it doesn’t dry out the skin too much. Absolutely love it and highly recommend it

This is a very natural turmeric powder and the results are very good. Unlike the common turmeric powder we get in the market, this powder do not stain your face yellow and also does not give a burning sensation. It is very cooling on the skin and very effective in keeping the skin clean. Love it
