Shikakai | Natural Hair Cleanser & Scalp Support
The Remedy:
Shikakai (Acacia concinna)—also known as Soap Pod, Fruit for Hair, and in Spanish Shikakai / Fruto Limpiador—is a traditional Ayurvedic herb used for centuries as a gentle hair cleanser, scalp nourisher, and natural conditioner. Rich in saponins, antioxidants, and strengthening minerals, shikakai cleans the hair without stripping oils, leaving it soft, smooth, and healthy.
Commonly used to support hair growth, scalp health, dandruff reduction, detangling, strengthening roots, and enhancing natural shine, shikakai helps maintain pH balance and promotes a clean, refreshed scalp. Its mild cleansing action makes it perfect for sensitive scalps and all hair types.
Enjoyed as a powder, paste, shampoo blend, or herbal rinse, shikakai offers a natural, chemical-free approach to hair washing and scalp care.
