Product Description of Lalas Shikakai Powder
Lalas Shikakai Powder is an age-old Ayurvedic treasure, lovingly milled from the dried pods of the Acacia concinna tree. It’s sometimes called “fruit for hair” and no wonder—generations have trusted it for naturally clean, strong and glossy locks. Our powder arrives in a breathable, resealable pouch so it stays fresh and ready for your ritual.
Unlike commercial shampoos loaded with sulfates, this gentle botanical doesn’t lather like crazy, but it cleans deeply. You might think “hey, where’s the foam?”—but the saponins hidden in the tiny pod cells do the job without harsh stripping. It’s perfect for sensitive scalps, children, and anyone fed up with dryness or chemical build-up.
We love how this ancient remedy leaves hair feeling weightless yet strong. A quick blend with water (or yogurt, if you’re feeling fancy) yields a creamy paste you can massage into your scalp. Rinse thoroughly and you’ll discover a silky softness, easier detangling, and that coveted healthy sheen.
Whether you have straight tresses, wavy locks, or coils, this versatile powder adapts. It’s uncluttered, pure, and does precisely what nature intended—clean, condition, and invigorate hair from root to tip. Plus, there’s something satisfying about rituals that have stood the test of centuries!

Additional information about Lalas Shikakai Powder
Our Lalas Shikakai Powder is sustainably sourced from small growers who follow ethical wild-harvest practices. The pods are handpicked, sun-dried, and ground in small batches to preserve active compounds. No fillers, no artificial preservatives. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Because it’s all-natural, color and texture may vary slightly between batches—that’s just the real deal, not a flaw!
You’ll find that the fine, beige powder carries an earthy, slightly sweet aroma. Some folks add a drop of essential oil—lavender or rosemary—to customize the scent. Use within 12 months of opening. Please recycle the pouch or reuse for your kitchen storage once it’s empty.
