Pitta Shampoo for gentle care, shine & naturally balanced hair

Maharishi Ayurveda Pitta Shampoo, 200ml, is a gentle Ayurvedic shampoo created to cool, soothe, and nourish normal to fine, thin, or sensitive hair and scalp types. It combines traditional Ayurvedic herbs, flowers and fruits with natural plant-based cleansing agents.

The formula helps cleanse the hair without harshness, leaving it feeling soft, fresh, smooth and naturally fragrant. With ingredients such as amla, acacia, blue water lily, white sandalwood, vetiver and cedar, it is ideal for regular hair washing and for supporting a naturally balanced scalp.

Main benefits

• Soothes Sensitive Scalps: Pitta-type scalps are prone to excess heat, redness, and irritation. This formula utilises cooling herbal extracts to calm inflammation and relieve scalp tenderness or itch.
• Adds Body to Fine Hair: Specially balanced for fine or thinning hair, it cleanses weightlessly to boost natural volume, body, and shine without weighing strands down.
• Pitta-Pacifying Botanicals: Infused with classic Ayurvedic herbs – such as Amla, Acacia concinna (Shikakai), and Water Lily – to strengthen hair roots, protect against premature thinning, and promote healthy growth.
• Gentle Plant-Based Cleansing: Cleanses gently using mild, coconut- and sugar-derived surfactants that preserve the scalp’s natural moisture barrier and lipid protection.
• Cooling Aromatherapy: Enriched with 100% pure essential aroma oil of vetiver (Khus), providing a soothing, earthy scent that helps cool an overheated temper and calm daily mental stress.
• Certified Natural Standard: BDIH/COSMOS Natural certified, vegan-friendly, and free from synthetic sulfates (SLS/SLES), silicones, parabens, and artificial fragrances.
