Biopark Cosmetics Amla Powder

This powder is made from dry, grounded fruits from the Amla tree. It is also called the Indian gooseberry. It has a light brown color and a slight sour scent, reminiscent of cranberries and oak bark. Amla extract is widely used in natural shampoos, hair oils and natural colors. Due to its high tannin content, it can be used as a fabric color fixative.

It is very rich in vitamin C, has antioxidant effects and helps to prevent premature graying of hair. It also helps prevents hair loss and dandruff. It has astringent effects on the skin, thus it is very good for normal, combination and oily skin.
