Description
Nettle Powder - Rich in minerals and flavonoids, for scalp and skin care formulations
Nettle Powder is obtained from the dried and ground leaves of Urtica dioica, a plant traditionally used in hair and scalp care formulations. Its complex composition includes flavonoids, mineral salts (calcium, potassium, silicates), and phenolic compounds (caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid), to which specialized literature attributes an antioxidant role.
It is mainly used in hair beauty applications and for balancing the scalp's appearance, but it is also suitable for skincare to promote a toned and firmer look.

Love the color! I almost bought it frkm a different website and I'm glad I didn't. This one is so fine, which will help a lot when using it to color my soap!
I usually use net net nettle in hair masks, and have taken this powder in case I sometimes run out of my own stock. Always irreplaceable for problem hair.
I very easily prepared the nettle and mimosa infusion for the hair loss and dandruff lotion with salicylic acid. Although I really like the idea of creating my own cosmetics and treatments, time doesn't really help. Nor am I at all as good at creating recipes as the friend who told me about this site is. That's why the recipe area here is much needed for someone like me, thank you!
It is a good product, I generally incorporate it in my CP soap recipe, but soon I will also try solid shampoo with this powder.
I love it for solid shampoos! Recently made a batch and my family is in love. It will definitely become a staple and I m eager to try the nettles powder in other products as well.
Net nettle powder has many benefits for the hair, it is only good for stopping hair loss!
hair masks, hair creams scalp scrubs rinsing solutions after washing the hair balancing sebum secretion combating dandruff combating dandruff hair loss brittle, limp, shiny hair oily hair or hair that becomes greasy or greasy quickly after washing.
An exceptional product for hair, the recipe recommendations on the site are very helpful. I use it to create macerates or tinctures.
Nettle is an excellent remedy for the whole body. It can also be taken internally by those who have problems with the functioning of the genitourinary system, but I use it more often as part of a dry shampoo, as a hair rinse with the addition of essential oils and vinegar.
This powder gives very good effects in treating problem scalp. I use it for years and I am very satisfied with the appearance of my hair.
A very effective powder for scalp and hair care. I use it in anti dandruff lotions and hair masks .
A perfect cosmetic active for shampoos, I use it in CP soap for my hair and it's very good! In the soap it gives a nice green color plus the nettle attributes!
Absolutely wonderful, an effective cosmetic active, used in shampoos, hair fortifying, dandruff, itchy or oily hair.
It had that effect on me. I couldn't enjoy its properties because I stopped using the shampoo it was included in. That's why I consider it suitable for blonde hair.
It's an essential component in some shampoos, I haven't tried it in other products, only in shampoos, but I like it.
