Below is an easy-reference guide that you can use to quickly identify which Maruva Naturals variation of this product is right for your facial skin. Our formulations marry ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with potent African and Indian botanicals, ensuring that each product supports your Dosha. Use this guide to select the perfect formulation that aligns with your Dosha’s elemental traits.

Pitta (Fire & Water): Pitta embodies intensity, transformation, and clear energy—with a tendency toward sensitivity and heat. Pitta formulations are cooling and soothing, designed to calm inflammation and balance natural warmth.

Select this product if you identify with the below traits of Pitta facial skin:

  • Sensitive & Reactive: Pitta skin is prone to sensitivity and often reacts to environmental factors such as heat, sunlight, and harsh skincare products. Redness and inflammation are common concerns.
  • Warm Undertone: The skin often has a warm or reddish undertone, which may become more pronounced during times of irritation or sun exposure.
  • Combination Tendencies: Pitta skin can exhibit both oily and dry traits, typically showing oiliness in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and dryness on the cheeks or other areas.
  • Prone to Breakouts: The natural heat of Pitta may lead to clogged pores and occasional acne or blemishes, particularly when the skin is out of balance.
  • Signs to watch for:
    • Redness and inflammation;
    • Sun sensitivity;
    • Acne and blemishes;
    • Uneven skin tone;
    • Heat-induced sensations.
