Abhyanga Oils:
1. Avoid applying Abhyanga oil on the face as the product is thick and hot and may cause breakouts
2. For Face oiling during abhyanga use the Krya Vata Baby Oil (normal - dry skin) or Krya Pitta baby oil (normal - oily skin)
3. If you are prone to acne, milia, and breakouts, avoid face oiling during Abhyanga
Ubtans:
1. Ubtans are designed to be used ONLY on well oiled skin - avoid use on non abhyanga days. For mini abhyanga or non abhyanga days , use our daily Snana Choornams (Body wash powders) instead
2. Ubtans are designed to remove excess oil on the body. They are too exfoliating for the face. For face only use our Face wash powders.

Thoughtful & wide range of options
Krya bodywash smells great, isn't drying like soaps, gentle on the skin and the environment in the long run, there's a variety of bodywashes available for different seasons and different types of skin,; some really thoughtful and great options for babies and kids
Keeps B.O in check - Never going back to soap again!
Krya chooraams are fragrant but because of how they work, skin has a lovely fragrance long after bath especially in small children and keep body odor in check. I have not used soap in the past 3 years and don’t intend to go back
Better than a soap!
Snana choornam feels cool and soothing compared to a soap
