These traditional leaves have a natural pale green to grey-green appearance, visible veins, lightweight texture, and a mild earthy leaf aroma. They are commonly used in traditional external-care preparations for hair, scalp, skin, and bath routines.

Plant Family: Rhamnaceae

Plant Part: Leaves

Product Form: Whole and naturally broken dried leaves

Appearance and Texture:

Sidr Leaves may range from pale green and grey-green to olive-green or light brown. They are naturally oval to elongated, prominently veined, thin, lightweight, dry, and slightly crisp.

The leaves may appear whole, curled, folded, or naturally broken and may contain occasional small stems.

Natural variation in colour, leaf size, shape, dryness, vein pattern, aroma, texture, stem content, and broken-leaf ratio may occur.

Aroma and Leaf Profile:

Sidr Leaves have a mild natural plant character that may be described as earthy, leafy, green, mildly woody, and lightly grassy.

The natural leaf character becomes more noticeable when the leaves are soaked, simmered, crushed, or ground.

Common Uses:

Suitable for traditional hair washes, scalp rinses, hair and scalp packs, face and body packs, bath preparations, hand and foot soaks, Sidr and henna blends, Sidr and amla preparations, Sidr and shikakai blends, and handmade cleansing preparations.

How to Use:

For a traditional external hair rinse, rinse the required quantity of Sidr Leaves with clean water, add them to water, and simmer gently for several minutes. Allow the liquid to cool completely and strain thoroughly before use.

For hair or scalp packs, crush or grind the leaves into a finer texture and gradually mix with water, rose water, aloe vera gel, or another suitable cosmetic base until a smooth paste forms.

For face or body packs, mix finely ground Sidr Leaves with a preferred cosmetic base and apply according to your regular external-care routine.

Conduct a small patch test before wider use and avoid contact with eyes.
