Shikakai

Shikakai, or Acacia concinna, is a tropical plant grown mainly in Asia and Australia. Its fruit has been used for hundreds of years in traditional Ayurvedic medicine as an element that promotes hair health and beauty. Shikakai contains naturally high amounts of vitamins A, C, D, E and K, which help to strengthen hair and increase its shine. The plant is also known for its soothing effects on the scalp.

Shikakai is mainly used in the cosmetics industry, specifically in the production of shampoos, conditioners, but also hair masks or oils. This plant is used in these products for its ability to cleanse the hair and scalp without drying it out. This is achieved thanks to the naturally low pH of shikakai, which is close to the pH of the scalp. In addition, this plant stimulates hair growth and combats premature hair loss. Shikakai can also appear in raw materials for soap making as it has mild foaming properties. It is also used in traditional medicine to treat various skin diseases and scalp problems.
