This reetha powder for hair is made from soapnut – aritha, soapberry or washnut – the dried fruit of Sapindus mukorossi that Indian households have used as a natural hair cleanser for generations. It lathers lightly in water, making a simple herbal alternative for your hair-wash days.

What’s Inside
4 × Reetha (Soapnut) Powder, 150 g each – 600 g in total. Reetha fruit shells contain natural saponins, which is why they foam in water. The dried fruit is finely milled so it mixes quickly into a smooth, washable paste.
How to Use
- Mix 1–2 tablespoons of reetha powder with warm water to make a thin paste (or soak overnight in water and use the liquid).
- Massage gently into wet scalp and hair for 2–3 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly with plain water. Keep it away from the eyes – it can sting.
- For a classic herbal wash, mix reetha with equal parts shikakai and amla.
- Use 2–3 times a week. Patch test 24 hours before first use.
Who Is It For
Men and women with oily, normal or combination scalps who want a gentle herbal wash, and anyone exploring natural hair-care routines. Dry hair types can add amla or follow with a light oil.
Why HerbtoniQ
Single-ingredient soapnut, finely milled and hygienically packed in India. No added foaming agents or fragrance – the lather is reetha’s own.
