Ingredient Role - What it does
Ingredient Role - What it does
Every ingredient earns its place.
Nothing in Nam is there to bulk up the formula or look good on a label. Every ingredient was chosen for a specific job and each job connects directly to the barrier repair story.
- Mahua Butter Madhuca longifolia seed butter - HeroIndia's forest butter. 46% oleic acid, 25% stearic acid, 17% linoleic acid.
- Ceramide NP - The molecule your skin produces naturally to seal the barrier and loses fastest to hard water and ageing.
- Oat Kernel Extract - Avena sativa kernel extract. Calming Clinically proven anti-inflammatory for reactive and sensitive skin.
- Bakuchiol Psoralea corylifolia seed extract. Renewal Plant-derived retinol alternative.
Benefits
Benefits
- Rebuilds the skin barrier - Stearic acid in Mahua is structurally identical to the lipid mortar in your skin barrier. It doesn't just moisturise the surface it literally rebuilds what hard water stripped away.
- Nourishes from within - Oleic acid (46% of Mahua's profile) penetrates deep into the stratum corneum not just the surface layer. By the time Nam has fully absorbed, it is working at the level where moisture is actually held or lost.
- Calms stressed, reactive skin. Phytosterols and lupeol, natural compounds in Mahua have proven anti-inflammatory properties. For skin that itches, reddens or reacts to hard water and environmental triggers.
- Fights pollution damage - Mahua's Vitamin E (γ-tocopherol) neutralises the free radicals that pollution deposits on skin every day. In head-to-head testing, Mahua quenched 25.4% of DPPH free radicals - nearly 3× more than extra virgin olive oil at 9.4%.
- Visibly repairs dry, cracked skinCracked heels, rough elbows, persistently dry shins - these are barrier failure, not a skin type. Nam's ceramide and fatty acid complex addresses the structural cause. In user trials, 95% reported visibly softer skin in 48 hours.
How to use
How to use
- Shower with warm not hot water. Hot water accelerates barrier damage. Warm water cleanses without stripping.
- Pat dry, leave skin slightly dampDo not rub dry. Pat gently. The slight dampness helps Nam spread more evenly and creates a layer for hyaluronic acid to draw from.
- Scoop a small amount. Press - don't rub. Take a pea-sized amount for each body area. Press Nam into your skin rather than rubbing. You'll feel the melt - the butter warming and absorbing. That transformation is the product working.
- Give it 90 seconds. Nam absorbs fully in about 90 seconds. Don't rush to dress. This is the ritual moment - the 90 seconds that are entirely for your skin.
- Use daily - morning or night, your choice. Barrier repair is cumulative.
The first use you'll feel the softness. By day 7 you'll notice the tight-after-shower feeling fading. By day 14 your skin will start to feel like it used to.
For cracked heels - Apply a generous layer to heels at night. Cover with cotton socks and leave overnight. The occlusion accelerates the repair significantly. Most users see improvement within 3 nights.
For very dry skin - Apply twice daily for the first two weeks - once post-shower, once before bed. Reduce to once daily once the barrier has rebuilt. Your skin will tell you when it needs less.
How much to use - Less than you think. Nam is concentrated - a 200 ml jar lasts 60-90 days with daily use for the full body. If it feels heavy, you're using too much.
Storage - Store below 30°C. If the butter melts in summer, move it to a cool cupboard. Resolidification doesn't affect efficacy. Do not refrigerate.
India's forest butter.
Your skin's missing answer.
Every shower strips your skin.
Your body wash cleans you — and removes the moisture your skin needs. You step out feeling tight, dry, and reaching for yet another product.
What if your shower gave back instead of taking away?
What It Does
1) Transforms in your hands - Pour it onto wet skin. Watch it turn milky white. This is not just an effect - it is the emulsification that delivers nourishment deep into skin while you rinse
2) Cleanses without stripping - No tight skin. No dry patches after shower. Skin feels soft, nourished, and complete without needing a moisturiser on top.
3) Defends while it cleanses - Moringa oil, India's most powerful pollution shield, protects your barrier every single shower. City skin, defended daily
Why It Works
1) Mahua Butter India's answer to Shea - Cold pressed from forest flowers. Lighter than the butter - designed to emulsify with water and rinse off leaving skin nourished, not stripped. India's answer to cleansing oils.
2) Moringa Oil - The highest known source of natural antioxidants in a cleansing oil. Shields skin from pollution damage every time you shower. Lightweight, absorbs instantly
3) Sea Buckthorn - Brightens and repairs at 1.5% concentration. Naturally rich in Omega 7, rare in nature which actively repairs barrier damage from hard water and pollution.

Customer Reviews

Priya S. Bangalore ★★★★
"I've been dealing with dry, rough skin on my legs for years — I thought it was just my skin type. After one week of Nam I realised it was the hard water all along. The tightness after my shower is completely gone. My skin actually feels like skin now."
-
Ananya R. Mumbai ★★★★★
"The melt is genuinely unlike anything else. And my cracked heels - gone in four days. Four days."
-
Meera K. Delhi ★★★★★
"The scent alone is worth it - earthy and warm without being perfume-y. But the results are real. I have sensitive skin that reacts to everything and Nam hasn't caused a single reaction in two months.

FAQ
- Are these products safe for sensitive skin? Yes, both formulas are designed to be gentle. No synthetic fragrance, no parabens, no sulphates.
- Are your products clean and free of harmful ingredients? Both products are free from parabens, sulphates, mineral oils, synthetic fragrance, artificial colour, and added water. The fragrance is 100% essential oil.
- What is Mahua and why is it special for Indian skin? Mahua is a flower that grows in the forests of Jharkhand and Central India. Forest communities here have cold pressed it into a butter for generations - long before it had a brand name. Its fatty acid profile is uniquely compatible with Indian skin and Indian climate. It absorbs completely, nourishes deeply, and never sits heavy. Think of it as India's answer to Shea except it grew here, for skin like yours.
- What skin types are these products suitable for? Both products are suitable for all skin types. Body Butter - especially effective for dry, very dry, and combination skin. Works best on skin that feels tight, rough, or dehydrated. Shower Oil works for all skin types including oily skin. It rinses completely clean and leaves no residue. If you have a specific skin condition or known sensitivity, patch test on your inner arm for 24 hours before full use.
- How quickly will I see results? Most customers notice softer, more nourished skin from the very first use. Day 1 - No tight feeling after shower. Skin immediately softer. Week 1 - Rough patches on elbows, heels, knees visibly softer. Week 2 - Skin barrier stronger. Less reactivity to hard water. Week 4 - Deeply nourished, naturally radiant skin. Consistently. These are real ingredients working at a real pace. Not an overnight trick.
