Holy Basil, traditionally known as Tulsi, is a revered Ayurvedic botanical celebrated for its purifying, antioxidant-rich, and balancing properties. Derived from the leaves of Ocimum sanctum (Ocimum tenuiflorum), this vibrant green herbal powder has been used for generations in both skin and hair care rituals.
With its naturally warm, herbal aroma and rich botanical profile, Tulsi powder is especially valued in formulations designed for blemish-prone skin, scalp balance, and revitalizing botanical treatments.
Its fine texture makes it ideal for masks, cleansers, herbal treatments, scalp applications, soaps, and botanical exfoliating blends.
