Radico Organic Ritha Powder for Hair Wash 500g

Reetha – Natural Cleansing Ayurvedic Hair Powder

Reetha (Sapindus mukorossi), also known as soapnut, is a traditional Ayurvedic plant-based cleanser for hair and scalp. It has been used for centuries as a natural alternative for washing hair and cleansing the scalp.

Reetha combines traditional Ayurvedic hair care with the modern need to wash hair gently without synthetic surfactants. It contains natural soap substances (saponins), which cleanse the hair and scalp effectively but gently. The hair is left feeling clean, light, and airy without a heavy or burdening feeling.

Reetha does not build structure in the hair and does not color the hair, but its effect is focused especially on scalp cleanliness and balance.

Reetha is suitable for most hair types and is often a good alternative also for sensitive scalp when the goal is to avoid strong cleansing agents. However, individual reactions are possible.

Ecology and Origin of Reetha

Radico reetha powder is made from organically certified raw materials, which ensures the purity of the plant and preserves its natural properties.
Organic cultivation avoids synthetic chemicals, which makes reetha especially suitable for scalp cleansing – particularly when the goal is to minimize irritation and chemical burden.

• Natural saponins → cleanse without synthetic surfactants

• Suitable for repeated use in salons → gentle but effective

• Supports an ecological service concept → an important part of natural hair care / head spa thinking
