Traditional Care Meets Modern Safety for Your Little One

Nature’s Gentle Touch for Your Baby

At Herbolaya, we bring you Vengai Pottu, a 100% natural liquid black bindi derived from the milk (serum) of the Vengai tree – a revered botanical used in traditional South Indian baby care. Used for centuries, this herbal bindi is a safe, chemical-free way to adorn your baby’s forehead, cheeks, or feet while following age-old customs with peace of mind.

Unlike synthetic bindis or cosmetics, Vengai Pottu contains no artificial colors, preservatives, or animal by-products, making it a cruelty-free, vegan, and baby-safe product that’s gentle even on the most delicate skin.

• Hindi/Urdu (North India): Often referred to as Kala Tika, believed to ward off evil and promote good health.

• Malayalam: Applied as a black dot on the baby’s cheeks or chin during daily rituals.

• Telugu: Used as drishti bottu, an essential part of baby grooming in Telugu-speaking homes.

• Kannada: Referred to as Kannu Pottu, a mark of protection and tradition.

• USA, Canada, UK & Global Indian Homes: Practiced by diaspora families preserving their cultural roots in baby care routines.
