Manjistha

Scientific Name: Rubia cordifolia
Manjistha is a climbing herb widely used in Ayurvedic formulations and is traditionally associated with skin clarity and complexion care. The roots contain naturally occurring compounds such as anthraquinones, tannins and flavonoids, which contribute to their antioxidant activity. In traditional skincare, Manjistha has been valued for helping maintain an even-looking complexion and supporting skin exposed to environmental stressors. In soap formulations, it contributes botanical richness and complements ingredients selected for cleansing and skin conditioning. At Origin, Manjistha is included not as a quick-fix solution, but as a respected Ayurvedic ingredient with a long history of use in holistic skin care practices.
