Amla Powder for Hair & Skin - INT Pack

Amla (Indian gooseberry) has been part of traditional routines for a long time. Spierb Amla Powder offers a practical way to bring that idea into your own bathroom: a single-ingredient amla powder that stays dry on the shelf and mixes easily with water when you’re ready to use it.

Used as an amla powder hair mask, it slips neatly into your regular wash routine. You mix the powder with water to create a smooth paste, apply it to hair and scalp, let it rest for a short time, then rinse before shampooing. Many people enjoy how their hair feels afterwards – fresh, light and ready for styling.

On the skin, this amla powder for skin can be used in simple DIY face and body masks. Mixed into a soft paste and applied as a thin layer, it becomes part of a calm self-care moment: a few quiet minutes, a gentle rinse, and skin that feels cleansed and comfortable.

Because this is a pure amla powder, you can keep things very minimal or build more involved recipes. You might choose only amla and water, or combine it with other herbs. A classic pairing is Amla with Shikakai powder in a hair mask, or with Multani Mitti in a basic clarifying face mask.

If you’re new to working with herbs, the Spierb Learn Hub is there to guide you. You’ll find an Amla ingredient guide, step-by-step how-to articles, and a glossary entry for amla powder so you can explore different ways to use it safely and comfortably in your cosmetic routine.

Always start with a patch test. See “Good to know” for a simple method.

For hair masks

1. Add 2–4 tablespoons of Amla Powder to a clean, non-metal bowl (adjust for hair length and thickness).
   
2. Gradually add lukewarm water, stirring until you have a smooth, yoghurt-like paste.
   
3. Use it as a simple amla powder hair mask, or mix in other herbs such as Shikakai powder or a little Henna if they are already part of your routine.
   
4. Apply to slightly damp hair and scalp, working through sections so everything is evenly coated.
   
5. Cover with a shower cap and leave for around 15–30 minutes, making sure the paste does not dry rock-hard.
   
6. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, then shampoo and condition as usual.
   

Begin with about once a week and adjust depending on how your hair feels.

For scalp-focused use

1. Mix a smaller amount of amla powder for hair and scalp with water to create a smooth, spreadable paste.
   
2. Apply gently to the scalp using your fingertips or a brush, focusing on areas that feel heavy or in need of attention.
   
3. Leave for 10–20 minutes, then rinse, shampoo and condition as normal.
   

Start with shorter timings and see how your scalp responds.

For face & body masks

1. For a simple amla powder face mask, add 1–2 teaspoons of Amla Powder to a bowl.
   
2. Add enough water (or a mild hydrosol) to make a soft, lump-free paste.
   
3. Apply a thin layer to clean skin, avoiding the eye and lip area.
   
4. Leave on for around 5–10 minutes. If the mask begins to feel tight or uncomfortable, rinse earlier.
   
5. Rinse with lukewarm water, pat dry and follow with your usual moisturiser or body lotion.
   

Use 1–2 times per week, according to how your skin feels.
