    So is this just a cheaper form of foundation or is it for acne?
    The video didnt go in depth about the benefits of this root on skin.

    I mixed Thanakha lotion with aleovera gel to make a cream for my daily face cream it's really so good.

    Does anyone know if Thanaka has skin bleaching properties? I want to get some but I’m worried that I’ll buy one that could bleach my skin :/

    I really wanted to try thanaka powder and am searching for a reliable source to buy from. Does anyone have any recommendations? Last month I ordered a bag of powder from Truly Thanaka. They never sent me my tracking number for my shipment after saying they would. I reached out multiple times to find out where my package was or if I could get a refund. My messages have gotten no response. I spent about $40 including trackable shipping and have gotten nothing in return. If anyone knows of another brand to try please let me know here in the comments. Thank you.
