Overview
Shikakai Powder is made from the dried, ground pods of the Acacia concinna shrub. Its name is often translated as "fruit for hair", and it has been part of traditional Indian hair washing for generations.
Mixed with water it makes a gentle, low-foam paste, and it is often combined with aritha (reetha) and amla powders.
For external, cosmetic use only. Do not eat or drink.
