Nikhaar means “Glow’ in Hindi.
A household favourite that draws inspiration from an old Central Indian village recipe. A quick fix for a drab day & party essential for
the ultimate glow.

Our 100% natural, home-made face mask is made using an ancestral family recipe. Each eco-friendly beauty bag is made lovingly in our gardens in Central India, and contains hand-crushed, sun-dried orange peel powder mixed with sandalwood, red lentils and almond skins.

The recipe for Nikhaar (which means glow in Hindi) has been passed on through several generations of women in our founder’s family. We loved the freshness and fragrance of the mask so much that we decided to bring its goodness to the wider world!

What We Love

The smell and the instant after-glow! Every eco-friendly beauty bag smells of fresh oranges and we assure you…this smell will greet you every time you open the eco-friendly beauty bag. The afterglow is real and your skin will be radiant after you peel the mask.

Beauty Stories

I am a complete wellness junkie and always on the lookout for the next ‘clean’ product to introduce into my daily wellness routine. With that I was happy to be introduced to Mana & Chi. I began using their product Nikhaar for 2 months and have to say it’s effectively replaced my weekly scrub and I love that it leaves my face feeling refreshed and clean. It’s been an enjoyable experience using it and the ingredients used smell earthy and wholesome, the best kind !

I have used Nikhar for the last one year and I absolutely love it. I love the fact that it’s got natural ingredients and I can use it everyday on my skin! My skin feels clean , smooth and refreshed! I use it 2-3 times a week and I fee it is doing wonders on my skin.

I met Manasi at a marketplace and tried Nikhaar Ubtan for the first time. Absolutely fell in love with the scent of dried orange peels and sandalwood when I tried it out ! Now I become a regular user of this face mask, which leaves mytskin soft and hydrated after a long day out under the sun or in the office. Highly recommend it!

Each jar of Nikhaar is handmade in our gardens in Central India using local, ethically sourced and natural ingredients. Being a family recipe, the entire process of over three months – buying ingredients, drying the produce, crushing and packing each jar is overseen by women in the founders family that have been making this mask for their own use since the 1950s!

Orange peels are recycled from the largest local juice shops, sandalwood from nearby temples and almonds from around the country. Orange peels are dried under direct sunlight for a number of weeks while other ingredients are strained and crushed to the finest powder. The final mixing is overseen by our most experienced hand(s), as proportions are key to your perfect jar of Nikhaar. This process has been the same for nearly half a century, and we’re proud to keep it that way!

Finally, Manasi (our founder) who is an energy healer energises each beauty jar before sending them out to our lovely customers.

While eating at a restaurant in Amer fort on a fine winter evening we noticed this beautiful intricate border surrounding the restaurant interiors. As our ancestors and this recipe belonged from this region, we decided to take it as our inspiration and re-created the border, weaving it with ingredients to package our best selling Indian Ubtan.

‘It’s has been my endeavour to take you back in time and relive the magic of their ways. Take home a complete experience, not just an ancestral recipe or ritual but a piece of history itself.

Regional art is the most potent language of the land. It connects you with the spirit of its people and ideology of its natives. It was important for me to research, seek inspiration and package the products in a way that spoke the same language where the recipe/ritual of the product originated from. Hope you enjoy this piece of art as much I have creating it. ’ – Manasi Golechha Bhandari

Indian Ubtan is laced with influences of Mughal art and architecture that is seen around UNESCO world heritage site, Amer fort.

We have also included a sketch of this architectural wonder, giving you a glimpse of its grandeur and heritage.

About Mughal art

Mughal painting is the style of miniature painting developed in the northern Indian subcontinent in the sixteenth century and continued till the mid-nineteenth century. It is known for its sophisticated techniques and diverse range of subjects and themes.

The story of Yushi Gunlun is special, as it takes me back to the time where we visited the forbidden city in Beijing. Wandering into the concubines chambers I got curious looking at these two big ancient stone rollers as they were the only pieces of cosmetic reference on their dressing table. That got me exploring more about them and their usage under Traditional Chinese Medicine system.

We wanted you to not just have the beauty ritual from the dynasties but also the encased box from the same period. Hence we found inspiration in the oriental forms and colors in the remnants of ancient Chinese architecture seen in Beijing for an immersive experience. ‘ – Manasi Golechha Bhandari

More about oriental color scheme.

There are five primary colours in traditional Chinese culture that correspond to the five elements and to the five directions. Harmonizing these five elements brings peace to all directions. Green (wood element) represents east; red (fire element) represents south; white (metal element) represents west; black (water element) represents north; and yellow (earth element) represents the centre.

We have also included a sketch of the Great Wall of China to give you a glimpse of the grandeur and the wonder of the world from ancient China.

Nikhaar Ubtan is packaged with our take on ‘kalapavriksha’ the wish-fulfilling divine Mahua tree along with deers and birds, painting a beautiful portrait of interconnectedness, innocence and divine harmony found in nature.

Nikhaar Ubtan is laced with the regional art of Gond that comes from the land the recipe hails from which is Madhya Pradesh, situated at the heart of central india.

Gond is a famous folk art of the Gond tribal community of central India. The Gond people believe that every element of nature, be it the hills, the sky or the trees, is inhabited by a spirit. Recreating the forms of nature therefore is done with reverence and worship of their sacred essence.

The most significant subjects explored and depicted in Gond paintings include birds, animals, and mythical beasts. Considered as the Tree of Life – the Mahua tree is an important subject, the flowers, fruits, seeds, and leaves from the Mahua tree serve many purposes for the tribe.
