Blue Tea (Also known as Blue Pea / Aprajita / Shankhpushpi / Clitoria ternatea)

Known by various names across India — Blue Tea, Blue Pea, Aprajita (in Hindi), or Shankhpushpi in Ayurvedic tradition — this vibrant flower is more than just visually striking. Rich in powerful antioxidants such as anthocyanins, flavonoids, and polyphenols, Blue Tea is celebrated for its skin-brightening, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties. Antioxidant Protection & Skin Radiance Blue Tea is particularly rich in anthocyanins, compounds that help neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by UV exposure and environmental pollution. This not only prevents premature aging but also revives dull, tired-looking skin, promoting a naturally radiant and even-toned complexion. Anti-Inflammatory and Calming Effects Traditionally used in Ayurveda to calm the nervous system, Blue Tea also offers soothing benefits for the skin. Its bioactive compounds help reduce inflammation, making it effective for calming redness, irritation, and sensitivity. Skin Tone Improvement and Detoxification The flower’s detoxifying properties assist in purifying the skin from within, helping to eliminate toxins and reduce the appearance of blemishes and uneven skin tone. With regular use, it helps reveal a healthier, more luminous complexion. Supports Collagen and Elasticity Thanks to its antioxidant profile, Blue Tea helps maintain skin structure by protecting collagen and elastin from breakdown. This promotes firmer, more resilient skin over time. You’ll find this naturally vibrant and calming ingredient in many of our Nefol formulations, where it works harmoniously with other botanicals to restore, protect, and refresh your skin.

Charcoal

Charcoal, especially in its activated form, is a skincare powerhouse known for its deep-cleansing and purifying properties. With its naturally porous structure and vast surface area, charcoal acts like a magnet for dirt, oil, and impurities, drawing them out from deep within the pores. Detoxifies and Purifies Charcoal binds to toxins, pollutants, and excess sebum, effectively decongesting clogged pores and helping prevent breakouts. It’s especially beneficial for oily or acne-prone skin, leaving it feeling clean, balanced, and refreshed. Controls Oil and Prevents Acne By absorbing excess oil produced by the skin, charcoal helps balance sebum levels, making it ideal for those struggling with shine or acne. Its ability to reduce bacteria on the skin further supports a clearer, healthier complexion. Gentle Exfoliation The mild gritty texture of charcoal provides natural exfoliation, helping to lift away dead skin cells and improve skin texture. This reveals smoother, brighter skin without stripping it of its natural moisture. Soothes and Calms Though known for its detox powers, charcoal also has calming effects. It may help reduce inflammation and irritation by removing surface irritants, making it suitable even for sensitive or blemish-prone skin. In our Nefol formulations, charcoal is blended with other botanicals and actives to create products that clarify, refine, and restore balance—giving your skin a clean slate to glow from within.
