The Andhra Pradesh government has decided to sell red sanders powder as an aid for facials and also other pharma products related to the prized wood. Following the footsteps of the Kerala Forest Development Corporation, which has been selling red sanders powder for facial packs and other skin treatment medicines, the AP government has asked the AP Forest Development Corporation Limited to come up with similar products.

AP principal chief conservator of forests A.V. Joseph confirmed that the government had given instructions to the corporation regarding the sale of red sanders powder for facial and for pharma uses. “Instructions were given to the corporation regarding the use of red sanders powder for facial and pharma uses. The existing law doesn’t prevent their sale. Kerala has got some allotments from AP and they are selling it,” said Mr Joseph.
