About this piece
Reetha, also called soapnut, is the dried fruit of a tree, and has long been used in India to wash hair. This pack lists a single ingredient, 100% reetha fruit powder.
The seller says the powder is certified organic by USDA Organic and India Organic, and notes that reetha appears in the classical text Bhavaprakasha Nighantu under the name Arishta. The page we read did not give the pack size, so check the listing.
How it is used
