Siddhalepa Ayurveda Herbal Balm is Siddhalepa's original product: a firm, waxy, pale cream balm with a strong smell of eucalyptus and camphor, made with eucalyptus, citronella and Ceylon cinnamon oils, pine oil, menthol and camphor. It is a balm to rub into the skin, and Sri Lankan households have kept a jar of it at hand since 1934. It comes in a yellow screw-lid jar inside a carton printed in Sinhala, Tamil and English.
The front of the carton carries the line "With Citronella Oil & Cinnamon Oil", and both of these oils come from Sri Lankan crops. The carton shows the portraits of the brand's founding family and a "90" anniversary mark beside the line "Since 1934". Siddhalepa also sells the same formula in liquid form as Siddhalepa Oil.
