Chandi. Herbal Hair & Body Wash Powder, 100 g

In Ayurveda, various herbal powders are widely used as natural cleansers for skin and hair. Ukrainian-Indian beauty brand Chandi presents Herbal Hair & Body Wash Powder. It is an unusual but effective product that delicately removes dirt and excess sebum from skin and hair thanks to its high content of saponins from skikakai beans and washnut. The powder doesn’t dry the skin out, it’s a great alternative to shampoos, shower gels and soap.

Chandi offers a 100% natural product which cleanses the skin and hair very delicately. While it doesn’t produce as much lather as sulfate-containing shampoos or shower gels, it is very effective. This herbal powder helps to keep the hair healthy and shiny, provides it with minerals and vitamins, deeply cleanses pores, stimulates microcirculation in the skin, smooths out fine lines, and prevents premature skin ageing. Besides, it has pronounced antiseptic, antiviral and antimicrobial properties. The powder speeds up the healing of minor skin injuries and has a conditioning effect on the hair.

Key active ingredients contained in the product are Ayurvedic herbs, such as amla, shikakai, reetha, neem, and vetiver.

Amla (Indian gooseberry) is one of the best natural antioxidants due to its high vitamin C content. It helps to improve skin elasticity and prevents premature skin ageing. When applied to hair, amla helps to keep it hydrated.

Shikakai has been used traditionally as a natural shampoo in India since ancient times. It is widely used in Auirvedic recipes. Shikakai beans strengthen the hair, enhance its volume, make combing easier, provide the hair with vitamins A, C, E, D, K. Besides, regular use of shikakai helps to get rid of dandruff. As a skincare product, shikakai has a softening and rejuvenating effect.

Along with shikakai, Chandi powder wash contains another natural lather-producing ingredient, reetha powder (washnut). Washnut, also known as soapnut or Indian soapberry, is widely used as a surfactant due to its high content of saponin, which has natural cleansing properties. Reetha doesn’t irritate the skin or dry it out so it is perfect for taking care of dry and sensitive skin. Besides, washnut has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Directions. Mix some powder with warm water and stir to form a moderately thick paste. Apply to hair and skin, leave for 5–10 minutes, rinse with warm water.
