About

One of three dosha face cleansers, this rejuvenating formula is for Vata skin types. A restorative blend of tulsi, comfrey, and sandalwood, this face cleanser is ideal for dry, dehydrated skin, as well as mature skin types. Thoroughly cleanse while replenishing cells with vital nutrients that support radiant complexions and soft skin.


Activate this dry herbal face cleanser with a few drops of water for a smooth paste, or use less water to create a thicker consistency for gentle face exfoliation.


PRATIMA all-natural cleansers are made with 100% pure Ayurvedic herbs, including crushed roots and flower extracts that remove deep-seated dirt and toxins, promote healthy exfoliation, deliver protein-rich botanicals and visibly rejuvenate and refresh complexions without altering the skin’s natural pH level.


What is Vata dosha and Vata type skin?


In Ayurveda, Vata dosha is the combination of air and space energies. When out of balance, Vata type skin can manifest as dry, dehydrated, dull, and flaky with signs of premature aging.

Best daily cleanser

Has just the right amount of exfoliation. I use it every night. I love mixing the paste in my palm to just the right consistency. Also, like everything Pratima, it smells great.

Gentle Morning Exfoliant

I like this cleaner as a gentle morning exfoliant. It seems to clean without stripping and leaves my face feeling soft. I use a balm-to-cream cleanser at night to remove makeup but this one is my go-to in the morning.

While I may be Vata, I do better with Pitta cleanser.

For years I used I used the Pitta cleanser and loved it: the texture and scent. I took the online Pratima Dosha quiz and the Vata cleanser was recommended. I thought perhaps it was time for something new, so ordered it. I discovered it was too coarse and irritating to my very sensitive skin and that Pitta is a better product for me.

Great exfoliating cleanser!

I love how this powder mixed with water becomes a paste. It feels so good on my skin at the end of the day, taking off all the dead skin, leaving my face so clean and fresh.

A gentle exfoliator

Unlike other exfoliators, this one does not feel like it's creating microtears on my face! It is certainly effective because I can see the difference when I forget to use if for a couple of weeks. Also I love how natural the smell is--not perfumey.

Love this cleanser!

I took the Dosha quiz about 10 years ago, so I decided to retake the quiz. To my surprise (but not really), my dosha changed. One of my new purchases was the Vata cleanser. I love it! It smells great, and also has a softer feel on my skin than the Pitta cleanser. It still has the graininess that I love. After using this cleanser, my skin feels exfoliated, soft, and moisturized all at once. I will always be a fan of Dr. Pratima's products. Over the years I've tried other items, and am always drawn back to this amazing line of skin care. I highly recommend!

Absolutely Perfect

I truly love this product, Vata Herbal Cleanser. For many years I had been purchasing the Kapha Herbal Cleanser and loved it, until recently after I lost 45 pounds and my dosha changed, I realized I was more of a vata dosha now. Since the change of product, my face is much more hydrated and incredibly smooth. It has been years since this was the case. Doing this along with dry brushing once a week has been a game changer. I love that it's a powder and not a chemical slathering of something. I also have the hair powder shampoo/conditioner that has also been so nutritious for my scalp. Thank you Pratima for your great work and products. You are much appreciated and the best products I have found out there.

Perfect for my skin type!

I have been using this vata cleanser for years and it's perfect for my dry, sensitive skin. It gently exfoliates and cleans without leaving my skin feeling greasy. My skin never gets dried out and is so soft. The neem purifying cream is a great compliment to this cleanser. I love it!

No chemicals!

I am a longtime user of this cleanser. I like that it is a natural product with no chemicals. It has grit, so it exfoliates. People often guess my age younger, so I think it does an effective job of cleaning without harshness.

Perfect cleanser!

I took acutane as a teenager in the 90s for my very oily, problem skin. It dried out my skin terribly!!!! But in my mind, I’ve always had oily skin. During a facial treatment at Pratima Spa, I learned that my adult skin isn’t oily — but actually dry. Vata. I have been using this cleanser for 10 years. I can’t live without it. It actually hydrates my skin….which isn’t at all what chemical exfoliators do. Can’t recommend this highly enough.

Great for vata type skin

I love using this cleanser in the shower! It exfoliates gently and is great especially in the fall/winter when your skin may be more dry. I switch between this and the pitta cleanser in the summertime. Love it!
