Sakhan for arlam is much smaller in size, it come in a form of stick with dark skin people sometimes mistaken for dry beef in orlam. When bite into it you'll get the effect similar to numbness feeling at the mouth area, sorry I can find pix to show.

It's called Tanaka.

only in myanmar - tanaka tree branches sold in bundles. Ground on a stone mortar with water, the paste is applied to the skin both as sunscreen, moisturizer, and cosmetics, and is worn by everybody in Myanmar. Some say it's the secret to Burmese women's flawless complexion. whether that's true or not, the ubiquitous tanaka patterns are an exotic sight in themselves
