Brahmi powder Organic
Description
Organic Brahmi Powder – central plant in Ayurvedic cosmetics, conditioning and skin/scalp protection.
Brahmi Powder is appreciated for the feeling of comfort it provides to the scalp and for its contribution to the healthy appearance of the hair shaft and mature or blemish-prone skin.
The powder is obtained from the Bacopa monnieri plant, sourced from organic farming, one of the fundamental plants of traditional Ayurvedic cosmetics, used for centuries in both hair and skin care.
The leaves of Bacopa monnieri mainly contain bacosides (triterpenoid saponins), alongside flavonoids (such as luteolin and apigenin), alkaloids, and phytosterols, substances valued in cosmetics for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, skin-soothing, and collagen synthesis-stimulating properties.
