Shikakai comes from the dried fruit pods of the Acacia Concinna shrub, which grows in the warm plains of central and southern India. These pods are rich in natural saponins, the compounds that give them their gentle cleansing and foaming properties. It is often combined with other hair herbs like Amla and Reetha for a complete and balanced herbal hair care routine.
Shikakai translates to “fruit for the hair” and has been used for centuries as a natural hair cleanser. It is renowned for its ability to clean hair and scalp thoroughly without stripping away the natural protective oils. It has a naturally low pH, which keeps the hair cuticle smooth and healthy. It is used to detangle hair, reduce dandruff, and promote soft, shiny, and manageable tresses.
Our Shikakai pods are sourced from trusted suppliers, ensuring they are mature and well-formed for the best cleansing properties.
The pods are sun-dried and then ground into a fine powder, creating a pure, gentle, and effective natural hair wash.
