Description
What is Aritha Powder?
Aritha Powder, also known as reetha or soapnut, is made from the dried, ground fruit shells of the soapnut tree. Mixed with water it gives a soft, low natural lather, which is why it has long been used in traditional Indian hair washing.
It is usually mixed with shikakai and amla powders to make a homemade hair wash.
For external, cosmetic use only. Do not eat or drink.

- Mix 1 to 2 tablespoons with warm water to a thin, runny paste
- Massage into wet hair and scalp, then rinse thoroughly
