What people say about Teja Mandara and Malli Malli
The full guide
A closer look at the hamper
Two full-size Dipsy products and four things you will keep using long after the lamps are put away. Here is what each one is, how to use it, what goes into it, and who it makes a good gift for.
Teja Mandara double cleanser and makeup remover
Teja Mandara is a cleansing oil that turns into a milk. Massaged onto dry skin, the oil loosens makeup, sunscreen and the day's residue. Add a little water and it turns milky, so it rinses away without leaving an oily film. One product covers both steps of a double cleanse, and skin is left feeling clean and comfortable rather than tight.
The name joins two languages. In Tamil, Teja means radiance. In Telugu, Mandara means hibiscus.
How to use Teja Mandara
- With dry hands, take two to three pumps.
- Massage over dry skin in slow circles until makeup and sunscreen loosen.
- Add a little water and keep massaging until it turns milky.
- Rinse well with lukewarm water and pat dry.
Use it in the evening, or any time you have worn makeup or sunscreen. For heavier makeup, cleanse a second time. Follow with Malli Malli. Patch test before first use. For external use only.
Who Teja Mandara is for
Anyone who wears makeup or sunscreen and wants one cleanser that removes both. Dipsy made it for men and women, and for oily, dry and combination skin, including in warm, humid weather. Skin varies, so patch test first if yours reacts easily.
Teja Mandara ingredients, explained
Hibiscus
Hibiscus Rosa-SinensisHibiscus extract carried in oil. Hibiscus flowers have a long history in Indian hair and skin care, and the extract is used in cosmetics as a skin-conditioning botanical.
Alkanet root
Alkanna TinctoriaAlkanet root extract carried in oil. The root has been used for centuries to colour oils a deep red, from its natural pigments, called alkannins.
Moringa seed oil
Moringa Oleifera Seed OilOil pressed from moringa seeds. It is rich in oleic acid, which makes it a softening, emollient oil.
White ginger lily
Hedychium CoronariumA fragrant white-flowered plant of the ginger family, which Dipsy sources from Arunachal Pradesh. It is part of the cleanser's botanical blend.
The rest of the formula
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- A light, clear oil made from glycerin and caprylic and capric fatty acids. It is the base of the cleanser and does the dissolving: makeup and sunscreen are oily, and oil loosens them.
- Glycerin, Aqua, Sucrose Laurate and Sucrose Stearate
- A blend of sugar-based emulsifiers with glycerin and water. This is what turns the oil milky when you add water, so it rinses off instead of sitting on your skin. Glycerin is a humectant, which means it draws water to the skin.
- Tocotrienol
- A member of the vitamin E family, used in cosmetics as a skin-conditioning ingredient.
Full ingredient list: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin (and) Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (and) Aqua (and) Sucrose Laurate (and) Sucrose Stearate, Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis (and) Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Alkanna Tinctoria (and) Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Hedychium Coronarium, Tocotrienol.

Malli Malli lightweight moisturiser
Malli Malli is a light cream for everyday use, made with two plant butters from India, mango butter and kokum butter, plus neroli and coriander seed oil. It absorbs quickly, leaves a soft, matte feel and sits under sunscreen and makeup. It is made to feel light in heat and humidity.
How to use Malli Malli
- Morning: smooth a light layer over clean skin, then apply sunscreen and makeup as usual.
- Evening: after cleansing with Teja Mandara, press a light layer onto slightly damp skin.
Used twice a day, one 50 g jar lasts about eight weeks. Patch test before first use. For external use only.
Who Malli Malli is for
Anyone who wants moisture without a heavy or greasy feel, especially in warm, humid weather. Dipsy made it for men and women, and for oily, dry and combination skin. Patch test first if your skin reacts easily.
Malli Malli ingredients, explained
Mango butter
Mangifera Indica Seed ButterButter pressed from the kernel inside the mango seed. It is an emollient: it softens skin and helps it feel less dry. It melts at around 32 to 36°C, close to skin temperature, which is why it spreads easily.
Kokum butter
Garcinia Indica Seed ButterButter from the seeds of the kokum fruit, which grows along India's western coast. A firm, emollient butter that softens skin.
Neroli
Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower OilOil from bitter orange blossoms, one of the botanicals in Malli Malli.
Coriander seed oil
Coriandrum Sativum Seed OilOil from coriander seeds, the spice used in Indian kitchens. In cosmetics it is used as a skin-conditioning oil.
The rest of the formula
- Aqua
- Water, the base of the cream.
- Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate
- An emulsifier made from olive oil. It holds the water and the butters together as a smooth cream.
- Potassium Cetyl Phosphate
- A second emulsifier that keeps the cream stable.
- C15-19 Alkane
- A light emollient that gives the cream a smooth, non-greasy slip.
- Xylitol, Anhydroxylitol and Xylitol Glucoside
- A humectant blend made from xylitol, a sugar alcohol. Humectants draw water into the top layer of the skin.
- Propanediol
- A humectant and solvent that helps keep the texture light.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- A fatty alcohol that thickens the cream and softens skin. It is not a drying alcohol.
- Silica
- A fine mineral powder that gives the cream its soft, matte feel.
- Acacia Senegal Gum and Xanthan Gum
- Natural gums that thicken the cream and keep its texture even.
- Tocopherol
- Vitamin E. An antioxidant that helps protect the butters and oils in the jar from going rancid.
- Phytic Acid
- A plant-derived chelating agent. It binds trace metals that could otherwise destabilise the formula.
- Benzyl Alcohol, Salicylic Acid, Glycerin, Sorbic Acid, Ethyl Lauroyl Arginate HCl and Sodium Benzoate
- The preservative system. These keep bacteria and mould out of the cream once the jar is open.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Adjusts the cream's pH.
Full ingredient list: Aqua, Cetearyl Olivate (and) Sorbitan Olivate, C15-19 Alkane, Xylitol (and) Anhydroxylitol (and) Xylitol Glucoside, Cetyl Alcohol, Propanediol, Silica, Benzyl Alcohol (and) Salicylic Acid (and) Glycerin (and) Sorbic Acid, Acacia Senegal Gum (and) Xanthan Gum, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Ethyl Lauroyl Arginate HCl, Tocopherol, Sodium Benzoate, Phytic Acid (and) Aqua, Mangifera Indica Seed Butter, Garcinia Indica Seed Butter, Sodium Hydroxide, Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil, Coriandrum Sativum Seed Oil.

FAQ
Questions about the hamper
What is inside the Thala Diwali Hamper?
Two full-size Dipsy products, Teja Mandara double cleanser and makeup remover (100 ml) and Malli Malli lightweight moisturiser (50 g), packed in a handwoven cotton basket with reusable cotton makeup pads, two face towels and a diya.
When can I order, and when will it ship?
Orders are open until the Diwali weekend, and hampers are dispatched in time for Diwali. After dispatch, delivery usually takes two to three days to most cities and two to three days more to remote pin codes.
How much does the hamper cost, and is delivery free?
The hamper costs Rs 5,000, inclusive of all taxes. Delivery is free anywhere in India.
How is the hamper different from The Complete Ritual set?
Both contain the same two full-size products. The Complete Ritual costs Rs 4,499 and has the two products on their own. The hamper costs Rs 5,000 and adds a handwoven cotton basket, reusable cotton makeup pads, two face towels and a diya, packed as a Deepavali gift.
Who is the hamper a good gift for?
Anyone who would use a simple two-step routine: a partner, a parent, a friend, a colleague, or a couple celebrating their first Deepavali together. Both products are made for men and women, so one hamper works for either.
Is the hamper suitable for sensitive skin?
Teja Mandara and Malli Malli are made for daily use, but any new skincare can disagree with reactive skin. Patch test each product on a small area of skin a day before first use, and stop using it if you notice irritation.
Are the products full size?
Yes. Teja Mandara is the full 100 ml bottle and Malli Malli is the full 50 g jar, the same sizes sold individually on dipsy.store. Used daily, the cleanser lasts about six to eight weeks and the moisturiser about eight weeks.
