Lotus Petal Powder
Part of our Herbs range, manufactured and exported by Arizone International LLP.
Lotus Petal Powder is made from the dried petals of the sacred lotus, Nelumbo nucifera. The lotus is India's national flower and a powerful symbol of purity in Indian culture, and its soft pink petals are used in face packs, herbal teas, bath products and Ayurvedic preparations valued for their cooling nature.
Arizone International supplies Lotus Petal Powder and dried lotus petals for cosmetic and skincare brands, tea blenders, Ayurvedic companies, wholesalers and exporters.
The Flower That Rises From the Mud
The lotus grows in ponds and lakes, with its roots in the mud and its flowers rising high above the water. Despite its muddy home, its leaves and petals stay spotless because of a special water-repelling surface, known today as the "lotus effect". This is one reason the lotus became a symbol of purity in Hinduism and Buddhism, where deities such as Lakshmi and the Buddha are shown seated on lotus flowers. Every part of the plant is used somewhere in Asia: the roots (kamal kakdi), seeds (kamal gatta), leaves and flowers.
