Manjistha Oil

Manjistha Oil

Manjistha is one of the great names of Ayurvedic skincare. Known botanically as Rubia cordifolia – and commonly as Indian madder – it's been treasured for centuries as a radiance herb, the root people reached for when they wanted a healthy, glowing look. Manjistha Oil is made the traditional way: the manjistha root is infused into sesame oil – the classic Ayurvedic base, til taila – which draws out the root's distinctive character, including its warm, reddish-brown colour.

That colour is no accident; it comes from the natural pigments (anthraquinones such as alizarin and purpurin) that also make madder one of the world's oldest natural dyes. With an earthy, woody, herbal character, manjistha oil is a heritage-rich base for glow-focused facial oils, radiance blends, and traditional beauty rituals – usually used in blends, alongside companions like turmeric, sandalwood, and rose. Supplied from 100 ML to 10 KG, backed by COA and MSDS, from Raasa Oils – for external use.

Ayurveda's Treasured

Manjistha – Rubia cordifolia, or Indian madder – is one of the most treasured skin botanicals in the Ayurvedic tradition, used for centuries in glow-and-radiance rituals. Infused into a carrier oil, its root lends a distinctive warm, reddish character and a long heritage of traditional complexion care.

Distinctive Madder Oil

Manjistha's characteristic reddish-brown colour comes from the natural pigments (anthraquinones like alizarin and purpurin) in the madder root – the same plant behind traditional madder dye. That rich colour and earthy, woody character make it a distinctive, authentic base in traditional and natural skincare.
