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.

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.
