Thanaka heals skin inflammation, works against acne, provides protection, and moisturizes. A study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information shows that "extracts from Thanaka bark showed strong anti-inflammatory, significant antioxidation, mild tyrosinase inhibition and slight antibacterial activities.

Origin of Thanaka
Myanmar's Ancient Beauty Secret
The cosmetic use of Thanaka is a distinctive feature of the culture of Myanmar. It is commonly applied to the face and body of most females and many boys and men. Thanaka has a refreshing fragrance and provides a cooling sensation. It is believed to be the secret to the ageless beauty and flawless skin of the Burmese people.
How Is Thanaka Made?
Thanaka is principally made from the Limonia Acidissima tree, which grows abundantly in central Myanmar.

Step 1
Thanaka is principally made from the Limonia Acidissima tree. A tree must be at least 35 years old before it is considered mature enough to yield good-quality cuttings.
Step 2
Bark or wood are harvested in the form of small logs from healthy, mature Thanaka trees, which continue to grow after the harvest.
Step 3
Thanaka paste is made by grinding the small wood logs with a small amount of water on a circular stone slab. The paste can then be applied or dried into powder.
