Green Gram Powder (Cherupayar Podi) is made from finely ground Vigna radiata (Mung beans) and is one of Ayurveda's most beloved natural cleansers and skin conditioners. Rich in proteins, B vitamins, zinc, and antioxidants, this gentle exfoliating powder cleanses the skin deeply without the harsh stripping effect of soap or chemical scrubs. It has been traditionally used across South India as a natural bath powder that maintains the skin's microbiome and pH balance while leaving it soft and glowing.
Used regularly, Green Gram Powder reduces oiliness, tightens pores, lightens tan, and gives the skin a bright, even tone. Its mild astringent properties help control acne, while its protein content nourishes and repairs damaged skin cells. It is also cooling by nature, making it ideal for those with Pitta-predominant skin that tends to be sensitive or rash-prone. Its complete gentleness makes it one of the few beauty ingredients suitable even for the most delicate and sensitive skin types.
