Shikakai (Acacia concinna) is a traditional Ayurvedic herb known for its natural cleansing and strengthening properties, especially for hair and scalp care. Rich in saponins, flavonoids, and vitamins A, C, D, and E, Shikakai gently removes dirt and excess oil while nourishing the scalp and hair follicles. Its low pH makes it a non-stripping cleanser that maintains the scalp’s natural moisture balance, reducing dandruff and irritation.

Scientific studies back its antifungal, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory benefits, highlighting its ability to support healthy hair growth and reduce scalp infections. Unlike chemical shampoos, Shikakai cleanses without damaging the hair cuticle, making it ideal for long-term use. At Nutriwellments, we incorporate finely powdered or extract-based Shikakai in our hair care formulations to deliver naturally healthy, shiny, and resilient hair—just as nature intended.
