What’s NOT in this
No sulphates · No parabens · No added fragrance · No silicones · No animal testing · No microplastics
Why powder, not liquid
Most face washes are pre-mixed gels — high water content, which requires preservatives, often produces aggressive foam, and can strip the dry-skin barrier.
This is dry powder. You add water (or rose water) the second you use it. Gentler cleansing, your-choice texture per wash, zero preservatives, no spill-on-flight risk.

Product facts
Frequently asked
How long does a 50g bottle last?
About 45 washes — roughly 4 to 6 weeks of daily use.
What does the powder smell like?
A subtle earthy-rose scent from the botanicals. No added fragrance.
Does it foam? Will it clean properly?
Light foam, not aggressive. Foam isn’t equal to cleaning power. It cleanses through gentle paste massage and rinse-off.
Can I use it every day?
Yes. Start once daily for the first week, then twice daily if your skin stays comfortable.
Is it good for sensitive skin?
Designed for sensitive and dry skin comfort. Patch test before regular use if you have known plant allergies.
What if I don’t like it?
Not right for you? Email hello@rawalchemy.in within 7 days of delivery for a full refund — no questions asked.
How does this compare to Mamaearth, Forest Essentials, or Kama Ayurveda face washes?
Most popular Indian face washes are gel or foam cleansers — great for oily skin, often stripping for dry. This is the powder / waterless alternative for buyers who specifically want soap-free, fragrance-free, non-stripping cleansing. Different category, not a direct competitor.
Vegan? Cruelty-free?
Yes to both. All plant-based, no animal testing — ever.
Safe during pregnancy?
Likely yes — no actives, no synthetic fragrance, no essential oils. Confirm with your dermatologist if you’d like reassurance.
How do I store it?
Keep cool and dry. Don’t let water into the bottle — that’s why we made it waterless.
