Shikakai Powder is a finely milled herbal powder made from the dried pods, leaves, and bark of Acacia concinna, a traditional Ayurvedic botanical widely used in natural hair and scalp care. Naturally rich in plant saponins and other botanical compounds, Shikakai has long been valued as a gentle plant-based cleansing ingredient in traditional hair-care practices.

Its smooth, earthy powder makes it easy to blend with water and other herbal powders to prepare natural hair washes, hair masks, scalp treatments, and botanical cleansing formulations. Shikakai Powder is a practical choice for brands, formulators, and individuals looking for a traditional herbal ingredient for natural hair-care preparations.
