Shikakai Powder
Shikakai Powder is a herbal ingredient derived from Acacia Concinna fruit, naturally rich in saponins. It acts as a gentle plant-based cleanser that helps remove excess oils and impurities, leaving the skin and scalp feeling clean and refreshed. Commonly used in powder masks, herbal shampoos, and natural scalp treatments.
INCI: Acacia Concinna Fruit Powder; common name: Shikakai Powder
Shikakai powder contains organic acids (a mildly acidic extract) that provide gentle cleansing and help reduce surface oiliness. It disperses well in dry blends and can be boiled/soaked in Aqua or glycols to create a gentle, plant-based cleansing phase suitable for gels and liquid washes. Use in moderation to manage its natural color/odor.
Benefits:
● Gentle, plant-derived cleansing (saponin activity)
● Helps reduce oiliness and surface residues
● Low-residue, comfortable after-rinse feel
● Supports foam/creaminess when combined with other surfactants
● Biodegradable and plant-sourced
●
Works as a
powder or as an aqueous/glycolic extract
How to use:
● Powder formats (masks/cleansing grains/scalp powder): blend dry with clays; wet at use with Aqua or a hydrosol until a smooth paste forms.
● Aqueous extract (boil/soak): boil the powder in Aqua for 10–20 minutes, cool, fine-filter, then preserve; use as the cleansing phase in gels or liquid washes.
● Surfactant systems: combine the extract with mild amphoteric/anionic surfactants to improve foam/viscosity; adjust salt/polymer as needed.
●
Safety: patch
test for sensitive skin.
Recommended usage levels in skincare:
● Powder cleansers/cleansing grains/face masks: 5–30%
● Scalp powder/shampoo: 5–25%
● Aqueous/glycolic extract in gels/toners: 2–10% (as final extract percentage; depends on strength)
●
Liquid
facial/body washes (using the extract): 2–8% (as extract percentage within the
aqueous phase)
Solubility:
● Insoluble as a raw powder in oils and Aqua; dispersible as a powder
●
Saponins are
extractable in hot Aqua (also in glycols or a light hydroalcoholic mixture);
filter to remove particulates
Applications:
● Facial cleansers and clay/powder masks
● Scalp-cleansing powders and shampoos
● Mild gel and liquid facial/body washes based on botanical extract
● Cleansing gels and makeup-remover bases (with auxiliary surfactants)
●
Scrubs
