Shikakai Base Oil

Shikakai base oil is oil derived from the shikakai plant (Acacia concinna). Shikakai is a small shrub native to India. Its pods, leaves, and bark have been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine and hair care practices. Because of its nourishing and cleansing properties, the shikakai base oil is primarily used for hair care.

Hair cleansing and conditioning:

Shikakai is well-known for its natural saponins, which act as a gentle cleanser and conditioner. When used as a hair wash, can remove dirt, excess oil, and product buildup from the scalp and hair strands. It can leave hair feeling clean and refreshed.

Hair strengthening and growth:

Shikakai is thought to have strengthening properties that help healthy hair growth. It contains vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that nourish hair follicles and the scalp, potentially improving hair strength, thickness, and shine.

Scalp care:

Shikakai base oil may soothe the scalp, reducing dryness, itchiness, and dandruff. Its natural properties can help balance scalp oil production and keep the scalp healthy.
