मञ्जिष्ठाRubia cordifolia
Indian madder — a climbing herb whose roots give Ayurvedic beauty preparations their earthy red.
Classical texts describe manjistha as a rakta-shodhaka, used in complexion and beauty rituals. It is the botanical heart of the lip balm.

रत्नज्योतिAlkanna tinctoria
Alkanet root — the source of a deep burgundy stain in oils, ghee and traditional lip preparations.
Ratanjoth has been used for centuries in Indian kitchens and cosmetics for its colour. In the lip balm it supplies a sheer, natural tint — no synthetic dye.
