How to Use

Hair & Scalp — Powder Cleanser (Single Use)

Apply to wet scalp and lengths for 1–2 minutes and rinse well.
Optional: finish with a light diluted rinse (e.g., water + a splash of ACV), then cool water.

Tip: If using heavy oils or styling products, a second quick cleanse may help.


Face & Body — Gentle Botanical Cleanse

½–1 tsp Aritha + water, rose water, or aloe juice → soft paste.
Massage lightly for 20–30 seconds, then rinse thoroughly.
Use daily or every other day as preferred.

FAQs — Organic Aritha Powder

Does it lather like shampoo?
It creates a mild, natural lather from plant saponins — not big foam like detergent-based cleansers.

Do I still need conditioner?
Many people apply conditioner or leave-in products to mid-lengths and ends for softness.

Is it suitable for colour-treated hair?
Aritha is gentle and soap-free, but always patch test on a small section first.

Can it be used on delicate routines?
Often chosen for minimalist or botanical routines. Adjust contact time if needed.
