Description

Your nani knew. Your dadi knew. Now it's coming back — and it deserves to.

Terracotta Body Scrub is a natural ubtan-style body scrub built from four kitchen ingredients that Indian skincare has trusted for generations — green gram powder, gram flour, orange peel powder and sweet orange essential oil. No synthetic chemicals, no plastic microbeads, no artificial fragrance. Just the ingredients your grandmother would recognise.

Green gram powder (moong dal) is the gentle powerhouse — enriched with saponins that naturally cleanse and whisk away excess oil and dirt. Its fine texture exfoliates dead skin cells without micro-tears or irritation making it ideal even for sensitive skin. Gram flour (besan) adds its own saponin-rich cleansing action — particularly beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin that needs thorough cleansing without stripping.

Orange peel powder is where the brightening happens. Rich in natural citric acid and Vitamin C it gently reduces the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation and tan. Pectin from the orange peel hydrates and softens skin as you scrub — so you step out nourished not just clean. Sweet orange essential oil completes the experience with an uplifting, fresh citrus fragrance.

Use as a powder on wet skin, or mix with milk, yogurt or water to create a traditional paste — exactly as your grandmother did.

Four ingredients. Zero chemicals.

Size: 85g. Made in India.

Shelf life: Use within 12 months of manufacture. Store in a cool dry place. For external use only.

How to use

As a powder scrub:
Apply powder directly onto wet skin. Scrub gently in soft circular motions for 3-5 minutes. Rinse off thoroughly with water.

As a paste:
Mix with milk, water or yogurt to form a smooth paste. Apply gently to skin. Leave for 5 minutes. Scrub in circular motions and rinse.

For best results: Use after an oil massage — the oil helps the scrub work more deeply and leaves skin even softer after rinsing.

Use 2-3 times a week for best results.

Tip: Focus on rough areas like elbows, knees and feet for visible softening from the first use.

Ingredients

What Your Grandmother Always Knew

Natural terracotta body scrub handmade locally sourced zero waste

Green Gram Powder — Gentle Ubtan Exfoliation

Moong dal powder has been used in Indian skincare for centuries. Rich in saponins — natural cleansing compounds — it gently removes dead skin cells, dirt and impurities without the micro-tears caused by harsh physical scrubs. Gentle enough for sensitive skin, effective enough for visible results.

Gram Flour (Besan) — Oil Control & Deep Cleanse

Gram flour's saponin-rich composition draws out excess sebum and deeply cleanses pores — making this scrub particularly beneficial for oily, combination and acne-prone skin. The same ingredient Indian women have used for generations for clear, balanced skin.

Orange Peel — Brightening & Tan Removal

Natural citric acid and Vitamin C from orange peel powder gently reduce the appearance of tan, dark spots and hyperpigmentation with regular use. One of the most effective natural brightening ingredients available — without the harshness of synthetic acids.

Pectin — Hydration While You Scrub

Pectin from orange peel acts as a natural humectant — drawing moisture to the skin as you scrub rather than stripping it. Skin feels hydrated and soft after rinsing not tight or dry.

Sweet Orange Essential Oil — Antioxidant & Aromatherapy

Vitamin C-rich sweet orange essential oil provides antioxidant protection from environmental damage while turning your scrubbing routine into an uplifting, genuinely therapeutic sensory ritual.

Four Ingredients — Nothing Synthetic

Green gram powder. Gram flour. Orange peel powder. Sweet orange essential oil. That's it. No synthetic chemicals, no plastic microbeads, no artificial fragrance, no parabens. The cleanest body scrub formulation possible — and it works better than most 15-ingredient alternatives

What is an ubtan and is this one?

Ubtan is India's traditional body scrub — a blend of gram flour, green gram, herbs and botanicals that has been used in Indian beauty rituals for centuries. Terracotta Body Scrub is a modern, zero-waste version of exactly that — same ingredients your grandmother would recognise, now in a convenient glass jar. No synthetic additions.

Why green gram and gram flour together?

Both are rich in saponins — natural cleansing compounds — but they work slightly differently. Green gram provides gentle physical exfoliation from its fine powder texture. Gram flour provides deeper oil absorption and pore cleansing. Together they create a more complete cleanse than either alone.

How does orange peel brighten skin?

Orange peel contains natural citric acid — a mild AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) — and Vitamin C. Citric acid gently dissolves the bonds holding dead skin cells together, accelerating cell turnover for a brighter more even complexion. Vitamin C inhibits melanin production reducing the appearance of tan and dark spots with regular use.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Yes — green gram and gram flour are among the gentlest natural exfoliants available. The scrub is free from synthetic chemicals, artificial fragrance and harsh acids. Always do a patch test first if your skin is particularly reactive.

Is it vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes — 100% vegan and never tested on animals. B Corp certified.

What does it smell like?

A fresh, uplifting citrus fragrance from sweet orange essential oil — natural, bright and genuinely energising. No synthetic fragrance added

Are the ingredients locally sourced?

Yes — green gram, gram flour and orange peel are all Indian-origin ingredients. Sourced locally wherever possible in line with our commitment to supporting local supply chains and reducing food miles.

Is this really zero waste?

Yes — four natural ingredients, a reusable glass jar and no synthetic additives. All ingredients are biodegradable. The jar is returnable, refillable and recyclable. Nothing in this product needs to go to landfill.

What do I do with the empty jar?

Reuse, refill, return or recycle. Return empty jars to Bare Necessities for discounts on your next order. Refill at our refill stations. Or recycle at your nearest dry waste centre.
