Nalpamaradi Thailam Skin Brightening Treatment - Kama Ayurveda
Kama Ayurveda have always made me inquisitive about them, but I had never purchased anything from them. Until 2 months ago I decided to try Kama Ayurveda Nalpamaradi Oil and Aloevera Water as my first buy.
Kama Ayurveda has come up beautifully as an Ayurvedic skin care brand. I am yet to get my hands on their much raved about ‘Kumkumadi Tailam’, which I intend to buy this year. However, after using their Nalpamaradi Thailam for 2 months (on and off) here is my review for the same.

Prescribed in Ayurveda as a natural skin illuminator and detanning oil for face and body, Nalpamaradi Thailam is a classical formula to lighten complexion as well as soften and repair skin. Potent Turmeric with its antioxidant action repairs pigmentation, uneven skin tone and marks. Moisturising Sesame Oil forms the hydrating and nourishing base. Cooling Vetiver, repairing Indian Gooseberry and antibacetrial Madder extracts heal and relieve environmental damage. It is also a highly regarded bridal beauty treatment due to its healing, repairing and brightening properties.

The oil distilled from its roots is used in several cosmetic and aromatherapy products. It cures acne, dry skin, ageing skin, and skin irritation. Vetiver essential oil helps relax the body and mind.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH KAMA AYURVEDA NALPAMARADI THAILAM - SKIN BRIGHTENING:
Well I had pre-decided to buy this oil when I entered the Kama store, though the SA was trying to also sell Kumkumadi with this, but I knew I had to try products one by one. I obviously started using the night I bought this. 😀 I had actually purchased this to reduce the tan on my hands and make them a little brighter. I had not thought of using it on my face at all, but eventually gave in to the temptation and used this on my face thrice a week. I started religiously and continued it for a month, but did not see any results at all. No change what so ever.
My husband HATES the smell so much that I was not allowed to go near him and maintain minimum distance around his periphery 😛 Not that I was bothered because I was focusing on experimenting with the product and was waiting for the results. Now, I know natural products take time, but I kinda lost patience and gave up using this for sometime. However, I picked it up again, and this time around I started feeling that my hands looked even toned and glowing! I was SO happy to see that. Now I am again hooked onto this and again not allowed near my man! LOL.
Packaging: This comes in a sturdy simple plastic bottle, and you have a good control over the amount of product you can remove. It is also travel friendly and did not leak when I took it with me on my travels.
Texture: Well, its an oil after all so it had to be sticky. But it gets absorbed faster and does not leave a sticky feeling behind.
Fragrance: Well I already described it in the best way possible! It does not smell good. But honestly, I do not get bothered by it.
Also, take necessary precautions as this oil stains a lot! It literally leaves a yellow tinge behind. So if you are using it at night, ensure it is absorbed well before you sleep so it doesn’t stain your bed covers.
I have not used it on my face enough to comment, but yes it did not break me out and fared well as an oil massage. I only use it on my hands at night and then sleep.
PRO’S of Kama Ayurveda Nalpamaradi Thailam:
- 100% Natural (the smell says it all)
- It does lighten your tan
- Moisturizes skin really well
- Gets absorbed fast
- Good quantity for the price, since it goes a long way
- Easy to carry around
- Did not break me out
CON’S of Kama Ayurveda Nalpamaradi Thailam:
- Smell !!
- Works VERY slow (Which is ok actually!)
Will I recommended this oil?
Well why not! its definitely worth trying if you wish to reduce tan and are looking for some glow. But yes you will need to give it 2-3 months at least to see slight results.
Have your tried this earlier? What was your experience like?
