Indulekha enters serum space with Ayurvedic boost to scalp care
MUMBAI: Goodbye greasy hair days, hello Ayurvedic innovation. Indulekha, the beloved Ayurvedic haircare brand known for its iconic oils, is switching gears and swapping textures with the launch of two all-new, non-oily, clinically proven scalp serums designed to treat hair fall and dandruff with precision, potency and a whole lot of heritage.
The two launches, Indulekha Bringha Hair Growth Treatment Scalp Serum and Indulekha Svetakutaja Dandruff Treatment Scalp Serum mark the brand’s first foray into the serum space, a bold move that blends ancient Ayurvedic science with the ease and elegance of modern-day skincare formats.
According to a 2024 independent clinical study, the Bringha Hair Growth Treatment Scalp Serum helps grow 11,000 new hairs in just three months. Packed with a 4.6 per cent Bringha+ complex featuring Brahmi, Amla, Aloe, Pudina and more, this serum tackles oxidative stress and thinning hair by nourishing the scalp at its roots using traditional Arka and Kashayam Vidhi techniques.
Not to be outdone, the Svetakutaja Dandruff Treatment Scalp Serum is proven to tackle recurring dandruff within just two weeks, according to a 2023 clinical study. Its 1.7 per cent Svetakutaja+ complex includes Lemongrass, Orange, Pudhina and Neem all formulated to banish flakes, soothe itchiness, and restore scalp barrier health.
“This isn’t just a format shift, it’s a mindset shift,” said Hindustan Unilever VP hair care Sairam Subramanian. “While Indulekha Oil continues to be a go-to for millions, serums offer a compelling new way for our consumers to experience everyday Ayurvedic efficacy without the mess.”
Visually too, the brand is shaking things up. The new serums arrive in sleek, premium packaging, a sign that Indulekha’s moving confidently into its next chapter. Still rooted in Ayurvedic authenticity, the bottles are all business on the outside, and all botanicals on the inside.
Available on Amazon, Myntra and Nykaa, Indulekha’s serums signal a fresh era in Ayurvedic haircare, one that’s lighter on texture, but heavy on results.
