If you grew up in a traditional Indian household, you probably have a very specific childhood memory. It’s a sunny Sunday afternoon. You are sitting on a small wooden stool while your grandmother stands behind you. In her hand is a bowl of dark, fragrant oil. As she massages it into your scalp, she tells you stories of ancient queens with hair so long it touched the floor. The secret ingredient in her bowl? Amla.

Amla, or the Indian Gooseberry, isn’t just a fruit you eat with a pinch of salt and chili. In the world of herbal haircare, it is royalty. It has been used for thousands of years to transform dull, lifeless hair into a crowning glory.

What Makes Amla So Special?

Think of amla as a “super-pill” for your hair. It is packed with nutrients that your scalp craves. Most notably, it is one of the richest sources of Vitamin C on the planet. To put it in perspective, one tiny amla contains nearly 20X more Vitamin C than an orange!

Besides Vitamin C, amla is loaded with:

• Antioxidants: These fight off the “bad guys” (free radicals) that age your hair.
• Iron: This helps improve blood circulation to your scalp.
• Essential Fatty Acids: These penetrate the hair follicles to add moisture and shine.

From the Roots…

How does amla actually work? It starts at the very beginning: the follicle. When you use our herbal shampoo that’s loaded with amla, you know that the nutrients will soak into the scalp. The amla acts like a natural tonic. By stimulating blood flow, it ensures that your hair roots get all the food they need to grow strong and thick.

Even when people didn’t have complex chemical formulas in ancient times, they understood the benefits of amla for herbal haircare. They would soak dried amla in water overnight and use that dark liquid to wash their hair. They noticed that their hair didn’t just grow faster; it grew back darker. Amla is famous for preventing premature graying by preserving the natural pigment of your hair.

…To the Tips

While the roots get the strength, the rest of your hair gets the shine. Amla acts as a natural “sealer.” It smooths down the hair cuticle (the outer layer of your hair), which is why you must choose a herbal conditioner that features amla as a star ingredient.

The inclusion of amla helps manage frizz and prevents those dreaded split ends. If your hair feels like straw after a long summer, amla is the cool drink of water it needs. It restores moisture and gives that “glass-like” finish that we all see in commercials, but without the harsh silicones.

Make it Part of Your Routine

You don’t have to spend hours crushing berries to get the benefits. We’ve made it easy.

Step 1: The Wash. You can use a small quantity of the Sustainable Universe herbal shampoo. It has Phyllanthus emblica (that’s the fancy scientific name for amla!) as part of the herbal extract. This cleanses your hair without stripping away natural oils.

Step 2: The Soften. Follow up with our Rosemary conditioner. It’s herbal and includes amla. You can even use it as a cowash, locking in that amla goodness even on days you can’t shampoo.

Step 3: Be Good to Yourself. Be Good to the Planet. Nourish your body and your spirit to keep feeling physically and mentally great.
