Shwe Pyi Nann Thanaka Facepack 50g50g

Shwe Pyi Nann Thanaka Facepack 50g is a traditional Burmese (Myanmar) skincare powder made from ground Thanaka bark, from Shwe Pyi Nann, a Myanmar brand describing itself as the country's leading Thanaka brand.

Sourcing note: the brand's own official product listings show sizes of 25g, 40g, and 140g -- a 50g size was not found on the brand's own site, though it is widely sold by Bangladeshi retailers under this brand name. This size discrepancy is disclosed rather than resolved by assumption. Ingredient note: beyond Thanaka bark powder, some retailers additionally claim kaolin clay or sandalwood content, but these claims are inconsistent across retailers and not confirmed by the brand -- they are not asserted here as confirmed ingredients.

Key Ingredients

• Thanaka Bark Powder — the core traditional ingredient, ground from the bark of the Thanaka tree, per retailer product descriptions; this is the ingredient the product is built around.
• Additional botanical or mineral ingredients (such as kaolin clay or sandalwood) are claimed by some retailers but not consistently corroborated or confirmed by the brand, so are not asserted here as confirmed.

Key Features

• Traditional Burmese Thanaka powder, meant to be mixed with water, rose water, or milk into a paste before application (not a pre-made paste itself)
• Long-standing traditional use in Myanmar for cooling and general skin care
• 50g size (see sourcing note above regarding brand-site size discrepancy)

Benefits

• Traditionally used in Myanmar for a cooling, soothing sensation on the skin and general facial care, per cultural/traditional use and retailer marketing
• No specific SPF value or clinically substantiated brightening/acne claim was found in any source -- traditional cooling/soothing use is the best-supported characterization

Who Can Use This Product

• Those interested in trying a traditional Burmese skincare paste as part of a facial care routine
• Those with sensitivities to botanical powders should patch test before full-face use
• Not intended for use on broken or highly irritated skin without medical advice

How to Use

Mix the powder with water, rose water, or milk to form a paste. Cleanse the face first, then apply the paste evenly, avoiding the eye area. Let dry for 15-20 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water and follow with a moisturizer. Typically used 2-3 times weekly, per retailer usage guidance.

Storage & Safety

Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if irritation develops. Keep out of reach of children.
