ACACIA CONCINNA FRUIT EXTRACT
Acacia Concinna Fruit Extract is a miracle ingredient for hair, used for ages in India for obtaining thick, dense, and silky smooth shafts. Shikakai, the common name of Acacia Concinna, helps in hair growth and strengthens the follicles. It is also an excellent cleanser that gently removes dirt and impurities without making the hair dry or stripping it of its natural protective lipid layer. Shikakai has been rightly termed as the “hair fruit” as it is a powerhouse of vitamins needed for the overall health of the hair and scalp. The benefits of Acacia Concinna Fruit Extract also extend to skin care where it conditions the skin and protects it from fungal infections. Additionally, being a natural ingredient, shikakai extract is safe for use.
