Leela Dry Shikakai | Traditional Herbal Hair Wash Ingredient

Leela Dry Shikakai is a traditional herbal hair-care ingredient made from the dried fruit pods of the Shikakai plant (Acacia concinna, also known as Senegalia rugata).

Shikakai has been traditionally used in India as a natural hair-cleansing ingredient. When soaked and prepared in water, it produces a herbal wash that can be used as part of a traditional hair-care routine.

Leela Dry Shikakai is suitable for preparing herbal hair cleansers, traditional hair-wash blends and customized herbal cosmetic formulations.
