Multipurpose Cream by Himalaya
A small tube you can take anywhere. Himalaya's Multipurpose Cream is a nourishing cream with aloe vera, zinc oxide and plant extracts from the Ayurvedic tradition. It fits in your bag, your toiletry bag or the glove compartment. At 20 grams, it is a handy cream for small areas where your skin feels dry or rough.
Aloe vera as a base
Right after water, aloe vera is at the top of the ingredients list. That means there is a relatively large amount of it. Aloe vera is the clear sap from the leaves of the aloe plant. It feels cooling and moisturises the skin. Himalaya combines it with propylene glycol (a substance that retains water) and with fats such as cetyl palmitate and stearic acid, so that the cream spreads smoothly and does not run off immediately.
Zinc oxide and herbs from India
What many people do not know: zinc oxide is a white mineral powder that you also find in many baby creams. It gives the cream a slightly more opaque character and forms a thin layer on the skin. In addition, it contains extracts of Vitex negundo (five-leaved chaste tree) and Rubia cordifolia (Indian madder), plus an extract of sweet almond. Himalaya has been using these plants in Ayurvedic skincare for generations. The brand has been working with herbs since 1930, and that is reflected in this short, recognisable formula.
Where the name multipurpose cream comes from
The name says it all: you do not use this cream for a specific part of the body. Think of a dry patch on your hands, rough elbows or chapped knuckles after a day outdoors in the cold. Many people wonder if you can also use it on your face. In short: yes, as a thin layer, but keep it away from your eyes. The size makes the difference. Because you only need a little bit at a time, one tube lasts a long time.
In short: Multipurpose Cream is a compact, nourishing cream with aloe vera and zinc oxide. Small in size, versatile and easy to take with you.
Why Multipurpose Cream from Himalaya?
Aloe vera is at the top of the INCI list
Immediately after water, aloe vera is the main ingredient, supplemented with plant-based fats for a smooth texture.
With zinc oxide for a thin layer
The white mineral powder gives the cream a lightly opaque character, just like many baby creams.
20-gram tube for your bag
Small enough for your jacket pocket, toiletry bag, or travel case, so you always have it at hand.
Chaste tree and madder from Ayurveda
Extracts of Vitex negundo and Rubia cordifolia, plants that have been used in the Himalayas for generations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you apply Multipurpose Cream to your face?
Yes, in a thin layer. Keep the cream away from your eyes. If you experience irritation, stop using it.
What does zinc oxide do in a cream?
Zinc oxide is a white mineral powder that leaves a thin, lightly opaque layer on the skin. You may know it from baby creams or zinc ointment. In this cream, it works together with the oils to create a slightly firmer texture.
Isn't 20 grams quite small?
For a large body cream, yes, but this tube is intended for small areas. You only use a small amount at a time. It lasts for 12 months after opening, so you have plenty of time.
What is Vitex negundo?
Vitex negundo is a shrub from South Asia, known in Dutch as the five-leaved privet. Its leaves have a long history in Ayurveda. This cream contains an extract of Vitex negundo, along with Indian madder and sweet almond.
What is the difference with a regular hand cream?
A hand cream is intended for your hands and usually absorbs quickly. Multipurpose Cream is a compact cream that you use on different areas and contains zinc oxide, which gives it a slightly more opaque layer.
