BHRINGRAJ POWDER
Fortifying, stimulating, and soothing!
Otherwise known as Maka powder, Bhringraj powder is reputed to be one of the most effective herbs for promoting hair growth.
You won't be surprised to learn that Bhringraj means 'king of hair' in Sanskrit. It protects the hair while cleansing the scalp, and is ideal for dark hair in particular, as this powder can darken the colour over time.
Best known for its capillary miracles, it also has valuable virtues for the skin. Applied to the skin, it soothes sensitive, irritated skin. It also has anti-aging and repairing properties, ideal for fighting skin ageing.
The botanical minute
Mahakanni (Eclipta prostrata), from which Bhringraj powder is derived, is a plant with broad, flat leaves and white flowers in the Asteraceae family. It is unique in that some of its components have colouring properties. In contact with the skin, it gives a golden-brown tan. For this reason, this plant is used in some self-tanning lotions.
