Is There An Alternative To Hv Cocasta Shikakai Oil?

[demlew]

Hi all. I've used Hairveda's Cocasta Shikakai oil for years and love it, but I wonder if they're going out of business bc their site hasn't had it in stock or been updated for months. I know I can order some from Hattache, but does anyone know of a comparable oil? TIA!

Have you thought about making your own? The ingredients are pretty common oils and ayruvedic powders. You can get everything on Amazon.

Ricinus Communis Seed Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulsis, Acacia Concinna Oil, Bacopa Monniera Oil, Emblica Officianalis Fruit Oil, Azadirachta Indica Seed Oil, Fragrance

aka

Castor Oil, Almond Oil, Shikakai, Brahmi, amla, neem oil

I would just combine the oils and add in powder versions of the Shikakai, Brahmi and amla.

Curlyproverbz has a bunch of videos on how she makes her ayruvedic oils.

^ I find it more cost efficient. I made my own amla oil using those instructions, and it doesn't smell nearly as bad as the type you buy at the Indian store..

I hadn’t considered it, but I might have to. Thanks for the video!

That’s impressive! I’ve smelled those Amla oils.
