Shikakai Dry Extract

Shikakai Dry Extract is a natural hair care ingredient derived from the pods of the Acacia concinna plant, widely known for its gentle cleansing properties. This botanical powder is rich in saponins, vitamins A, C, D, and E, and other micronutrients that nourish the scalp and promote healthy, strong hair. Ideal for use in shampoos, hair masks, herbal hair oils, and DIY beauty formulations, Shikakai is a time-tested Ayurvedic solution for maintaining clean, shiny, and soft hair—without stripping natural oils.

Benefits:

1. Gently cleanses scalp without harsh chemicals
2. Promotes stronger, thicker hair growth
3. Helps prevent dandruff and scalp irritation
4. Detangles and softens hair naturally
5. Supports healthy pH balance of the scalp

How to Use:

• For Hair Mask or Paste: Mix 1-2 tablespoons of Shikakai Dry Extract with warm water or aloe vera gel to form a paste. Apply evenly to scalp and hair. Leave on for 15–20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• For DIY Shampoo: Combine with Reetha and Amla extracts for a natural, foaming herbal cleanser. Add to water or hydrosol and boil for 10 minutes. Strain and use the liquid as a mild shampoo.
