At the outset, this article underpins Varnya Mahakashaya of Ayurveda that can be alternatively used as Rasayana and curative medicine than its current extensive use, i.e., cosmetic skin care. Based on analysis and review of classical texts about the application of Varna Mahakashaya (i.e., the formulations that had Varna Mahakashaya as a key ingredient) under three broad categories - Rasayana, Vyadhihara (curative), and Varnya (as a cosmetic) - About 24 formulations lead to effective rejuvenation (Rasayana); 54 formulations were a remedy to skin diseases such as Kushta, Visarpa, Mukhadooshika etc (Vyadhiahara) and eight formulations were typically used for cosmetic purposes (Varnya).
