Is Amrutam Chandan Pure?

For centuries, chandan has been applied on the forehead not as a cosmetic, but as a sacred ritual - to calm the mind, awaken Chakras, the third eye, and purify one’s aura.

Amrutam Chandan is a product crafted especially for tilak, idol pooja, meditation and daily spiritual grounding.

But one question we hear often is:

“Is this only chandan or is there something else in it?”

If you’ve wondered the same, here’s a clear and honest explanation of what makes our Chandan pure, natural and traditionally Ayurvedic - even though it isn’t a single-ingredient paste.

1. Is Amrutam Chandan Pure?

Yes,  absolutely.

But purity doesn’t mean “only one ingredient.” It means nothing artificial, nothing synthetic, and no hidden fillers.

Amrutam Chandan is made with:

• ▪️pure Malayagiri sandalwood,

• ▪️real kesar,

• ▪️natural attars,

• ▪️and sacred Ayurvedic herbs.

So while it isn’t just sandalwood paste, it is still 100% pure, natural, and traditionally Ayurvedic in every sense.

2. Why is Amrutam Chandan not ONLY sandalwood paste?

Many products in the market that are sold in the name of pure chandan are just sandalwood mixed with water.

Amrutam Chandan is a blend of sacred, cooling and aromatic herbs.

Sandalwood is often mixed with:

• ▪️kesar

• ▪️camphor

• ▪️red sandalwood

• ▪️herbs like Brahmi & Shankhpushpi

• ▪️natural attars

This made the paste:

• ▪️more fragrant

• ▪️more cooling

• ▪️more sattvic

• ▪️more spiritually powerful

Amrutam Chandan follows the very same classical approach.
We’ve added these traditional ingredients specifically to enhance your spiritual experience - so the tilak feels calmer, the aroma feels divine, and the overall ritual becomes more grounding and meditative.

3. What is Amrutam Chandan used for?

This Chandan is created purely for spiritual purposes, such as:

• ▪️tilak

• ▪️idol pooja

• ▪️hawan

• ▪️meditation

• ▪️yoga

• ▪️chakra activation

It is not designed as a cosmetic or skincare paste.

It is a ritual blend meant to create grounding, calm, and a sacred atmosphere.

4. Can I use Amrutam Chandan on my whole face?

No. 

This formulation is made for the forehead tilak and spiritual practices, not for skincare routines.

If you’re looking for a beauty mask, we have other products made for the skin specifically.

5. Does Amrutam Chandan help in activating chakras?

According to yogic and Ayurvedic traditions, applying Chandan on the Third Eye (Ajna) and Crown (Sahasrara) chakras helps:

• ▪️improve mental clarity

• ▪️deepen meditation

• ▪️calm the nervous system

• ▪️balance your energy

Many of our users tell us they feel instantly centered when they apply it - and that’s exactly what this blend is meant for.

6. Does Amrutam Chandan feel cooling on the skin?

Yes.

Cooling ingredients like sandalwood, kesar and camphor create a natural, soothing, temple-like coolness that quiets the mind and helps settle Pitta heat. It’s one of the reasons this blend is often used before meditation.

7. Does Amrutam Chandan have a strong fragrance?

It has a natural fragrance - nothing artificial.

The aroma is a beautiful mix of:

• ▪️sandalwood’s earthiness

• ▪️kesar’s softness

• ▪️rose itra’s sweetness

• ▪️cedar & agar’s woody depth

• ▪️the divine aroma of bahusugandhi

It smells exactly like what you’d experience in old temples and sacred spaces.

11. Does Amrutam Chandan have colour natural?

Completely.

The colour comes from:

• ▪️red sandalwood

• ▪️raw turmeric juice (kacchi haldi ka ras)

• ▪️kesar

There are no artificial colours added.

Amrutam Chandan is pure, Ayurvedic and intentionally blended to enhance your spiritual experience.

Every ingredient serves a purpose. Every application brings calm. A small tilak, a deep breath, a moment of grounding - that is the true essence of Amrutam Chandan.
