These characteristics are what lend Black Gram its unctuo-licious powers to fight the appearance of aging signs on the face and the neck to deliver cushiony-soft, velvety-smooth skin.
While the world is slowly waking up to the skin-moisturizing wonders of Black Gram through The Ayurveda Experience’s range of products, we combined the goodness of this kitchen-frequenter lentil with Vitamin A-rich juicy Apricot for its high amounts of vitamins, flavonoids and potassium known for working wonderfully well for aging skin and reducing the appearance of the signs of fine lines and wrinkles. Since apricots have high water content, they’re also an efficient ingredient in providing that much needed hydration to your cheeks and render a velvety-smooth finish.
To make this a holistic skincare solution, we went ahead to include
Ayurveda’s Power-Purifying herb Manjistha or Indian Madder that lends
firming, skin-clearing, glow-boosting and complexion-enhancing properties to Blavana!
This brick-red herb, root of the plant that has heart-shaped leaves, embodies blood and the pure power of ‘life’ itself in its stunning color. As an herbal ingredient, it also imparts a gorgeous reddish tone to anything it’s mixed with, hence the beautiful peach-ish shade of Blavana which comes from Manjistha and not from any chemical dyes or colorants! Bonus: It does not stain the skin either!
The powers behind Blavana’s ultra-rich formula do not end here.
We added Aloe Vera Oil, the go-to Ayurvedic skin hydrating specialist along with Cucumber Juice to keep skin soothed, soft, smooth, cool, hydrated and glowing. The inclusion of 2 quintessential Ayurvedic oils, Sweet Almond Oil and Sesame Seed Oil, offer nutrition and richness that emulsifies into the skin and deeply restores and retains moisture.
Did you know Black Gram is called ‘Mash’ in Ayurvedic literature which means
'the herb that strengthens and promotes health'?!
Revered as a natural
Vata pacifier in Ayurveda, Black Gram imparts
smoothness and moisture to the skin and keeps it feeling
plump and soft. INTERESTINGLY, Black Gram is a potent ingredient that helps overcome the appearance of aggressive signs of aging. But that’s not all. It doesn’t just fade away the look of aging but also upholds the health of your skin!
Scientific studies mention that the seeds of Black Gram contain
essential and non-essential amino acids,
minerals, acceptable fatty acids, tocopherol - a rich source of phenolic acids,
flavonoids and

Traditionally recognized as a
natural purifying herb and a
natural complexion-booster in Ayurveda, Manjistha or Indian Madder lends skin a
glowing, refreshed and youthful look. It is also known to impart a golden sheen, in order to take away the day-to-day dullness that sits on your skin and makes you look older.
Loaded with
skin-soothing, glow-giving, complexion-enhancing compounds like
munjisthin and purpurin which are
glycosides, Manjistha gives the skin a lit-from-within illuminated appearance. In addition, it is also highly revered for:
Ayurveda believes Apricots to have
‘Jara Nashanam’ and
‘Kaidev Nighantu’ or
Age-Defying Components. It is also called
‘Kapha Krita’ or something that
increases Kapha.
According to modern skin science, Apricots are most known as
potent skin hydrators as they have naturally high water content. They also come with multifaceted health-boosting properties for skin like:
Rich in Vitamin A and E, flavonoids and potassium, Apricots can also infuse the skin with a dash of youthful vibrance by energizing dull, tired or under-nutritioned skin.
You must have used Aloe Vera either in raw form or as a gel for various skin concerns. In Ayurveda, Aloe is said to be
‘Hima’ or
coolant. It is considered a go-to solution for skin and hair issues and is said to be
'Haret tvagamyan' or
something that abolishes skin issues (Kaidev Nighantu).

Traditionally used in a number of rejuvenation therapies, this exotic plant also serves as an excellent means to:
Extremely beneficial for
soothing blushed or flushed skin, especially those skin types that are a tad high on the sensitivity scale, Cucumber juice is a godsend for protecting the integrity of skin. Another lesser known yet highly useful benefit of Cucumber juice is that it’s also quite proficient at
maintaining balance and for ‘health-ifying' skin from the inside.
Makes sense why they advise to have Cucumber juice while on a detox or cleanse, now, doesn’t it?
It’s just as good for the skin from outside, as it is from the inside!
To top it off, it also functions well to:
Glycerine is a natural compound that’s clear, colorless and odorless - a syrupy liquid derived from vegetable oils. For skin, it functions as a
humectant (a substance that boosts moisture and hydration) and by all means is safe to be used externally and is highly effective for
steadying the skin’s natural level of moisture.
With a nutrient load of highly benevolent compounds, glycerine shows
emollient qualities as it acutely
hydrates the stratum corneum (outer layer of the skin), provides protection against external irritants and retains moisture, for:
