A classical Ayurvedic herbal powder formulated for a (mukah lepa )facial Pack ritual targeting the appearance of excess oil, clogged pores, blackheads, whiteheads, and congestion-related uneven skin texture.
Core Ayurvedic concept: Lekhana (scraping or reducing action) and traditional Kapha-balancing skin care.
Skin Focus: Oily Skin • Congested-Looking Pores • Blackheads & Whiteheads • Blemish-Prone Appearance

Does excess oil or the appearance of recurring blemishes make it difficult to find a routine that feels right? DevElixir approaches these concerns through a traditional Ayurvedic Lepa concept, alongside practical daily care. This four-ingredient preparation is designed around the needs of oily and blemish-prone skin, without promising instant clearance or flawless results.
Rooted in Tradition. Crafted for You.
Siddharthakadi Lepa is a traditional external herbal paste preparation. DevElixir’s dry formulation contains Siddharthaka, Vacha, Lodhra and Saindhava Lavana. The product draws on Ayurvedic descriptions of Yuvanpidika, a traditional term associated with acne-like facial eruptions. Unlike an everyday cleanser, it is conceived as a separately prepared face-pack ritual.
• Focused positioning: intended for customers concerned about oily-looking and blemish-prone skin.
• Four-ingredient identity: Siddharthaka, Vacha, Lodhra and Saindhava Lavana.

**A Traditional Ayurvedic Herbal Facial Ritual**
*Prepare Fresh • Apply Gently • Allow Natural Partial Drying • Rinse Before Fully Dry*
Step 1 — Prepare the Herbal Paste
Traditionally, Siddharthakadi Lepa is prepared by mixing the dry herbal powder with a suitable liquid to form a smooth, spreadable paste.
DevElixir's proposed preparation options include plain water or Gulab Arka (rose water).
The appropriate powder quantity, mixing ratio and choice of liquid must be established through formulation compatibility and skin safety evaluation.
Step 2 — Apply to Clean Skin
The intended ritual involves applying a thin, even layer of freshly prepared herbal paste to the selected facial area, avoiding the eyes, lips and other delicate areas.
Step 3 — Allow to Dry Naturally
Allow the herbal paste to begin drying naturally at room temperature.
- Do not use a fan, hair dryer or artificial heat to accelerate drying.
- Do not allow the paste to become completely dry, hard or excessively tight.
Step 4 — Gently Rinse Before Completely Dry
The intended traditional method is to remove the paste while it remains slightly moist.
- Soften the paste gently with room-temperature or lukewarm water.
- Rinse without scrubbing or abrasive circular massage.
- Pat the skin dry using a clean, soft towel.
Step 5 — Complete Your Skincare Routine
After cleansing, maintain skin comfort with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer.
During the day, apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen.
Important Precautions
- For external use only,
- Do not use on broken, irritated, infected or inflamed skin.
- Avoid the eye area, lips and mucous membranes.
- Do not apply to painful cystic acne, nodules or deep inflammatory lesions.
- Do not combine with aggressive exfoliation or other potentially irritating treatments.
- If burning, itching, significant tingling or redness occurs, rinse immediately and discontinue use.
