Shikakai Powder (Churna) – 100g – Organic Hair & Skin Care

Description:

Shikakai powder (Shikakai Churna, 100g) is a traditional Ayurvedic herbal remedy sourced from the leaves and pods of the Acacia concinna tree, native to the dry plains of Central India. For centuries, this natural cleanser has been used in India and across Asia for its remarkable hair and skin benefits. Literally meaning “fruit for hair,” Shikakai boasts a gentle, naturally low pH that effectively cleanses without stripping hair of its essential oils and moisture.

Unlike harsh commercial shampoos, Shikakai produces less lather but powerfully removes dirt, excess oil, and dandruff. Its saponin content naturally cleanses the scalp, preventing dandruff, detangling hair, and acting as a natural conditioner, leaving hair noticeably softer, shinier, and more manageable.

Rich in Vitamins C, A, D, E, and K, Shikakai promotes healthy hair growth, strengthens hair follicles, and revitalizes the scalp. It’s also used to combat fungal infections, head lice, and premature graying, adding volume and silkiness to the hair. This versatile powder can be used as a mask, scrub, shampoo, and even a gentle cleanser for the face and body. Its cooling effect invigorates the skin and may help delay the appearance of wrinkles.

Suitable even for sensitive skin, Shikakai is hypoallergenic and ideal for those with allergies to chemical-based products. It effectively cleanses problem skin and helps alleviate various skin conditions. While generally safe for daily use, individuals with light hair should use caution as it may temporarily darken the hair shade.
