Organic Shikakai Powder — Natural Indian Shampoo, 100g

Cleanse and nourish your hair naturally with Radico Organic Shikakai Powder: 100g of organic acacia pod powder (Acacia concinna), the traditional natural Indian shampoo used for centuries to gently cleanse, coat, detangle, and stimulate hair growth. Free from chemicals and synthetics. Mild pH that respects the scalp.

Why use Shikakai Powder?

Shikakai (Acacia concinna) is a tropical Asian climber whose pods, rich in natural saponins (a mild plant-based foaming agent), have been used since antiquity in India as a natural shampoo. Its saponins cleanse gently without stripping the scalp of its natural oils. Its naturally acidic pH (3.5-4) tightens the hair cuticles, adds shine and softness, and prevents dandruff. It contains no chemicals or synthetics.

Benefits of Organic Shikakai Powder

Gentle cleansing without sulfates

The natural saponins in shikakai cleanse hair effectively without being harsh. Ideal for sensitive scalps, colored or weakened hair, and those wishing to eliminate harsh sulfate shampoos.

Shine, coating, and detangling

Its acidic pH tightens the hair cuticle scales, providing shine and softness. Its coating action facilitates detangling and reduces friction between fibers. Traditionally recognized for its excellent properties as a natural detangler.

Stimulates growth and eliminates dandruff

Shikakai stimulates scalp blood circulation and tones hair follicles, promoting hair growth. Its mild antifungal properties reduce dandruff and scalp itching.
