Today, cosmetic manufacturers offer an impressive array of skin and hair cleansing products, from soaps and shampoos to face washes to micellar water. However, many of these products contain surfactants that may strip your skin of moisture and natural oils. If you prefer your cleansers 100% natural and safe, check out herbal cleansing powders by Veda Vedica.
Veda Vedica is a Russian-Indian brand of Ayurvedic cosmetics. Ayurveda is a system of traditional medicine that originated in the Indian subcontinent. According to this system, a person’s health and well-being depends on three substances (doshas) that are present in his or her body. They are vata, pitta, and kapha. When the three doshas are relatively balanced, a person is healthy.
Ayurvedic treatments seek to assist a person to regain that balance if it has been lost due to internal or external factors. For example, when a person’s kapha is out of balance their hair and skin become too oily and have a greasy look to them. To regain balance, this person needs treatments that help to decrease kapha.
Most treatments in Ayurveda are plant-based. They may be derived from different parts of the plant including leaves, roots, stems, bark, seeds, or fruits. The effect of Ayurvedic herbs is sometimes complemented and enhanced by minerals and other natural products. Ayurvedic cleansing powders, for example, are based on herbs that are rich in saponins (natural surfactants that remove dirt and grime without drying your skin and hair out). Sometimes they also contain special clay that absorbs excess sebum.
Veda Vedica presents cleansing powders for skin and hair based on Ayurvedic herbs and minerals. These powders are designed to remove excessive oils and toxins while re-establishing your skin’s natural acid-base balance. They are 100% natural and suitable for all skin and hair types. Veda Vedica cleansing powders are free of SLS/SLES and other synthetic surfactants, parabens, silicones, petrochemicals, artificial dyes and fragrances, and other potentially harmful or irritating ingredients.
Herbal Hair Cleansing Powder by Veda Vedica is designed to remove dirt, grime, oily build-up and styling product residue from all types of hair. Due to containing saponin-rich herbs, the powder can be even used to wash off oil masks. It is suitable for daily use because it won’t strip your hair and scalp of moisture and natural oils.
Ayurvedic plants contained in Veda Vedica’s hair cleansing powder include shikakai, washnut, babul, bael, haritaki, bibhitaki, amla, lemon, mandarin orange, vetiver, neem, and tulasi. Washnut and shikakai delicately remove dirt and grime, helping to keep the hair clean and fresh for long. Neem eliminates dandruff, vetiver relieves itchy scalp and improves hydration, bibhitaki and haritaki provide hair follicles with nutrients, and amla produces a strong antioxidant effect. When used regularly, the powder makes the hair stronger and shinier, improves its elasticity and flexibility, prevents brittle hair and split ends.
Veda Vedica offers its hair cleansing powder in various packaging, including small sachets. One sachet contains just enough powder for one hair washing, provided that you have short to medium length hair. Sachets are perfect for travelling because they won’t take up much space in your toiletry bag. You can also buy cleansing powder in sachets if you’ve never used it before and want to give the product a try before buying a larger amount.
