Pure Shikakai Powder for HairI Natural Hair CleanserI 100 gms

Shikakai is also known as “Hair Fruit” commonly used in hair care rituals. We prepare our Shikakai Powder by shade drying and grinding the dried shikakai pods or fruit of the shikakai plant.

Shikakai is well known for its mild, natural cleansing properties. Unlike harsh chemical shampoos, which can strip your hair of essential oils, Shikakai gently cleanses without leaving your scalp dry. The saponins present in Shikakai create a mild lather that helps remove dirt, oil, and impurities from your hair and scalp.

Shikakai Powder can be an effective and mild alternative to commercial shampoos.
It has natural antifungal and antimicrobial properties, making it effective in combating dandruff.

Our journey began when our founder, a Certified Herbalist and Facial Yoga Instructor, connected with a few local farms during her mountain treks. What started with just 3-4 farms has now grown into a strong network of over 50 farms that help us source raw herbs and pure botanical oils.

We keep things simple—because simple works. No complicated formulas, no additives. Just pure, single-ingredient goodness you can use every day.

And it’s not just about the products. We also guide and educate people on how to use the herbs and oils in their skincare, haircare, and wellness rituals. Because we believe self-care should be natural, honest, and easy to follow.
