Beginning
You may have heard of Sandalwood (Chandan) and Red Sandalwood (Raktchandan) if you’ve ever looked for natural ways to get rid of dark spots, blemishes, or pigmentation. Ayurveda values both highly, yet they have different benefits.
This blog will clarify the “Chandan vs. Raktchandan” dispute, show you why Raktchandan is better for pigmentation, and show you how products like HerbOcean Radiance can help. Tailam can help you get skin that is radiant and even in colour.

What is Raktchandan?
• Scientific Name: Pterocarpus santalinus • Common Name: Red Sandalwood
• Ayurvedic qualities: Kashaya (astringent), Tikta (bitter), and cold
Raktchandan doesn’t smell good like white sandalwood, but it does have skin-healing characteristics that make it powerful. Ayurveda has used it for hundreds of years to: • Fade dark spots • Heal scars and wounds • Reduce melasma • Make dull skin brighter
Why should you choose Raktchandan for pigmentation?
1. Aims at Too Much Melanin Production
Raktchandan naturally controls the production of melanin, which is what causes dark patches and pigmentation.
2. Full of antioxidants
It defends against oxidative stress, which causes skin to age too quickly and unevenly.
3. Healing Powers
It heals wounds, scars, and imperfections and slowly brings back skin that is even in tone.
4. Safe and not irritating
It is not harmful and is not as harsh as chemical peels or hydroquinone creams.
