Frequently Asked Questions

Is Liquorice Root Powder safe for daily use?
For external use on the skin and hair, it is a gentle botanical that can be safely incorporated 2–3 times a week. If consuming internally as a tea, it is best enjoyed in moderation.

Can I mix the powder with other Devatara products?

Absolutely. You can easily blend Liquorice Root Powder with Devatara Multani Mitti, Manjista, or Red Sandalwood, using water, rose water, or cooled Devatara Blue Pea Tea as your base to create a highly potent, customized face pack.
