Frequently asked questions
- How many herbs are in KESHME Ayurvedic Hair Oil?
- 22 herbs are named individually on the KESHME Ayurvedic Hair Oil pack, and all of them are listed on this page with their botanical names where those are unambiguous.
- Are the same herbs used in the hair oil and the shampoo?
- Partly. 13 herbs appear on both packs — amla, bhringraj, shikakai, reetha and others — while the hair oil lists a longer blend. The table on this page shows which product each herb appears in.
- Where does this ingredient list come from?
- It is transcribed directly from the herbs printed on the KESHME product packaging. Nothing is added to it, and where the pack does not state a botanical name unambiguously, the botanical column is left empty rather than filled with a guess.
- Does this page say what each herb does?
- No, and that is deliberate. Per-herb benefit lines are printed on our packaging, but publishing them as website claims would put unverified efficacy statements in our own voice. What we publish is what is in the products, in what quantity of bottle, and how to use them.
