Aritha Powder
Aritha Powder—also known as soapnut or ritha—is a traditional Ayurvedic-inspired cleanser made from the dried fruit of Sapindus mukorossi. It lathers naturally thanks to its saponin content, making it a practical option for customers who want a plant-based wash-day cleanser without added fragrance.
Think of aritha as your “clean scalp reset.” Mixed with warm water, it makes a simple paste you can massage into the scalp to lift oil, dust, and product buildup—then rinse clean. Because everyone’s scalp is different, the best routine is the one that leaves you clean without feeling stripped: start with shorter leave-on time, rinse thoroughly, and follow with conditioner if your lengths need more softness.
