In a world filled with chemical-based beauty products, the secret to naturally glowing and healthy skin lies in the ancient traditions of Ayurveda. One such powerful herbal remedy is Aritha, also known as Reetha or soapnut. Traditionally used for cleansing hair and skin, Aritha powder is now gaining popularity in natural skincare routines for its incredible ability to purify, detoxify, and rejuvenate the skin.
At Dirghaanshi, we believe in promoting beauty through nature’s wisdom. Our focus is on Jadi Buti-based skincare solutions that are safe, effective, and eco-friendly. In this blog, you will learn everything about using natural Aritha powder as a face pack to achieve a natural glow — the Ayurvedic way.
🌼 What is Aritha (Reetha)?
Aritha (Sapindus mukorossi) is a plant widely found in India and known for its soapy fruit shells. When dried and powdered, Aritha becomes a gentle yet powerful skin cleanser. It is naturally rich in saponins, which are organic compounds that cleanse and detoxify the skin without harming its natural moisture balance.
Key Properties of Aritha:
Natural surfactant (cleansing agent)
Antibacterial and antifungal
Anti-inflammatory
Skin-toning and exfoliating
Suitable for all skin types
✨ Why Aritha Powder is Great for Glowing Skin
A glowing complexion is often a result of healthy, clean, and balanced skin. Aritha powder addresses the root causes of dullness and breakouts — such as clogged pores, excess oil, and accumulated toxins — to reveal your skin’s natural brightness.
✅ Benefits of Aritha Powder for Skin:
Deep Cleansing:
Aritha removes dirt, dead skin, oil, and pollution without stripping natural moisture.
Natural Exfoliation:
It acts as a mild exfoliator, helping to get rid of blackheads and dead skin buildup.
Controls Acne and Breakouts:
Its antibacterial nature fights pimple-causing bacteria and soothes inflammation.
Enhances Natural Glow:
Regular use improves blood circulation and rejuvenates skin cells, leading to a healthy glow.
Fades Spots and Marks:
Aritha helps lighten pigmentation and acne scars over time.
Balances Skin pH:
It restores your skin’s natural acidity, which is essential for a clear complexion.

🧘 Ayurvedic Insight
According to Ayurveda, glowing skin is a result of balanced Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas. Aritha balances excess oil (Kapha) and heat (Pitta), detoxifies the skin, and encourages circulation (Vata). This synergy supports your skin’s natural glow, strength, and elasticity.
