THE MULA

An Ayurvedic Botanical House 

Rooted in a 1600s agricultural heritage in Kerala, India, taïla operates as a private formulation house in Brooklyn. We return to the root, the Mula to compose each treatment from the foundation. 

We do not pour into existing bases. By building from the source in our own Lab/Apothecary, we craft original compositions where every botanical is selected for its biological function. Through Samyoga, the art of botanical union, we pair ingredients to amplify their collective potency, restoring the skin’s inherent resilience. 

Sacred Radiance

Rooted in the sacred Haldi wedding rituals of India, where generations of women gathered to blend fresh, golden Turmeric paste to bless the bride with an incomparable glow. MUHKA unites this illuminating tradition with the lush, clearing enzymes of Papaya to effortlessly sweep away dullness and reveal a flawless, sun-warmed radiance.

FAQs

Do I still need to double cleanse when using this?

No. MUHKA does both steps. 

It begins as an oil, loosening makeup, sunscreen and excess oil from the skin. When water is added, it shifts into a light milk that rinses everything away, including what sits on the surface and what mixes with water throughout the day. The result is a complete cleanse in one step. 

How does one cleanser remove everything?

Oil binds to oil. This is what allows MUHKA to break down waterproof makeup, SPF and excess sebum. 

As it emulsifies with water, it changes texture, allowing it to carry away sweat, environmental debris and remaining residue. What’s left is skin that feels clean, not stripped. 

Will this remove waterproof makeup without rubbing?

Yes. The oil does the work for you. Breaking down makeup so it can be lifted away easily, without pulling or over-cleansing the skin.

Will my skin feel greasy after?

No. Once water is added, the oil transforms and rinses clean, leaving the skin soft and balanced rather than coated.

Can this replace my regular cleanser?

Yes. MUHKA is designed to stand on its own. Cleansing thoroughly without requiring a second step.

Is this suitable for sensitive or dry skin?

Yes. It cleanses without stripping, making it particularly suited for skin that reacts to harsher cleansers.
