Feel soothing relief as khadi Lavender Elixir transforms your sensitive scalp and hair with Ayurvedic healing wisdom. Lavender Sensitive calms irritated scalps and gently cleanses even the most delicate hair, bringing harmony and balance.

The shampoo balances the microbiome of sensitive scalps and strengthens fine hair from within. Suitable for all hair types, especially delicate, sensitive scalp, and even fine children’s hair.

Lavender, known in Ayurveda for its calming properties, combines with Anantmool (Sarsaparilla) to soothe stressed skin. Palasa extract and hibiscus protect delicate hair, while aloe vera and ratanjot provide lasting moisture.

With a pH of 4.5 to 5.0, khadi Lavender Sensitive restores the scalp’s natural balance.

The secret lies in the khadi Lavender Elixir—a concentrated Ayurvedic extract made from handpicked herbs, simmered to unlock nature’s healing power. Up to 20% of the shampoo consists of this elixir, compared to just 2-5% in typical natural shampoos.

The honey-colored shampoo has a calming, spicy, slightly bitter scent.
