Natural hair glow: Shining Shikakai brings out unique shine and brilliance, making your hair not just seen but admired.

Each wash turns into a glossing experience, enveloping your hair in stunning shine while smoothing split ends and frizz. Your hair looks healthy and radiates with a natural glow. For all hair types, especially dry, dull, and split-prone hair.

In Ayurveda, Shikakai is known as the “Fruit of Hair,” celebrated for its deep hydration and natural softness. Aloe vera gel, packed with nutrients, enzymes, and amino acids, replenishes moisture for both hair and scalp.

With a pH of 4.5 to 5.0, Shining Shikakai balances hair and scalp naturally.

The secret of Shining Shikakai lies in the khadi Shikakai Elixir—a powerful Ayurvedic extract from handpicked herbs. The elixir is crafted using traditional Ayurvedic methods, simmered to enhance the healing properties. Up to 20% of the shampoo is made from this elixir, compared to just 2-5% in standard natural shampoos.

The light, honey-colored Shining Shikakai Shampoo has a soothing, spicy, slightly bitter aroma.

100% natural and free from synthetic ingredients

Through mindful processing, we capture the complete essence of these plants, preserving their benefits from cultivation to bottling.

Our highly effective compositions of fresh herbs, fruits, and barks are selected for their specific properties to nurture the health of hair and skin from the inside out—bringing harmony to body, mind, and spirit.

3. Simmered to Perfection

Following time-tested Ayurvedic methods, our herb, fruit, and bark mixtures are carefully simmered to unlock their full potential, allowing the essence to infuse into pure water or oil. The blend is then reduced to a quarter of its original volume, filtered, and aged to perfection before being used in our products.

Ayurvedic Simmer: The khadi Elixir is slowly reduced, distilling it's pure strength.
