  • Raje Herbal products are for all genders and ages. All humans deserve healthy hair and skin.

  • Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old holistic system of medicine native to India. Translating to "knowledge of life," it aims to prevent illness and maintain health by creating balance and harmony within the body, mind, and spirit.

  • No. Raje Herbal products are cosmetic and wellness products. They are made to support the look and feel of hair, scalp, and skin. They are not meant to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. For medical hair loss, scalp conditions, or skin issues, please speak with a dermatologist or clinician.

  • Raje Herbal is Ayurvedic-inspired and rooted in traditional Indian herbal care.

    Ayurveda has always seen care as a relationship between the person, the practitioner, the substance, the routine, and the state of mind.

    We honor ancient methods, but we do not present our products as medical Ayurvedic treatment.

  • Hair oiling is the practice of massaging oil into the scalp and hair before washing. It can help hair feel softer, smoother, shinier, and less dry. It also turns hair care into a calm, intentional ritual.

  • A herbal hair cleanser uses plant powders or extracts to loosen oil, sweat, and buildup so they can rinse away with water. It usually foams much less than modern shampoo.

  • Start with one simple ritual. For hair nourishment, try Hair Oil plus Hair Cleanser. For targeted scalp care, try Hair Serum. For a weekly skin reset, try the Face Pack. Keep it simple for the first few weeks and notice how your body responds.

  • If your scalp feels dry or your hair feels dull, start with Hair Oil. If you want light daily scalp care, start with Serum. If you want a gentler cleansing ritual, start with Hair Cleanser. If your skin feels dull or oily, start with Face Pack once a week.

  • Almost! Our photos are enhanced for marketing with editing and AI for a polished look and to make them attractive, so actual color, shade, ingredients, or texture may vary slightly. This is normal and doesn't affect quality.

    Natural ingredients also mean small differences batch to batch. For the exact ingredients in this product, please check the key ingredient list.

  • Because real care does not need fake promises. Herbs can be powerful. Ritual can be powerful. But every person is different. We would rather earn your trust slowly than impress you with impossible claims. We do not make miracle claims. We make careful products.

Prepared with Intention. Rooted in Care.

At Raje Herbal, how something is made matters. Every batch begins with a clean space, a steady mind, and a sincere wish for the person who will use it. We prepare every batch as if it were going to someone we know.

  • Raje Herbal is not fast beauty. It is slow, small-batch, Ayurvedic-inspired care for hair and skin. Most brands stop at the recipe. We care about the recipe and how it is prepared: with attention, cleanliness, patience, and intention.

  • Before preparing or packaging, we try to bring the body and mind into a calmer state. We clean the space. We wash. We slow down. Sometimes we work in silence, sometimes with gentle music or meditative sound. The intention is simple: may this product serve the person who receives it.

  • It is both, but in different ways. Spiritually, many traditions believe the state of the maker matters. Scientifically, we know that care, expectation, ritual, touch, scent, and the human environment around healing can influence how people feel and respond. We do not claim intention is a medical ingredient. We treat intention as the unseen discipline behind the visible product.

  • No. Raje Herbal is for everyone, of every faith or none. We draw from old Indian wisdom and modern science, but intention, gratitude, calm, and care belong to all human beings. You do not need to follow any tradition to enjoy them.

  • Our process is simple, but every step is deliberate. The preparation begins before the first ingredient is touched. We begin with a clean body, clean clothes, clean hands, clean utensils, and a clean space, which creates respect for the herbs and for the person who will use them. For us, purity is discipline.

    We prepare in a calm, unhurried environment, often in silence, soft music, natural sound, or a meditative state of mind. Before starting, we set one clear intention: that this batch brings care, comfort, and support to whoever receives it. Then we work slowly. Nothing is rushed. Rushing is its own kind of noise.

  • Sometimes the preparation happens in a mindful or meditative state. Sometimes it happens with soft music, natural sounds, or silence. The goal is mindful presence.

  • Sometimes, yes. Gentle sounds can help the maker stay calm and focused. Research also shows that music interventions can reduce stress and anxiety in human beings. We use sound to create a peaceful preparation environment.

  • The maker’s state of mind affects the making. A calm person is more attentive. A grateful person is more patient. A careful person notices the small things. That is why we prepare Raje Herbal with a steady mind and a clean process.

  • Yes. Packing is not an afterthought for us. It is the last careful touch before the product reaches you. The same calm hands that prepare the product also seal and pack it, with the same wish for your care and comfort.

    The packaging may not look the best in the world, or be expensive, but it carries the luxury of emotions.

  • We do not claim that words, music, or intention physically change the chemistry of the product. The stronger, more responsible claim is this: intention changes the human process around the product. It can make the maker calmer, cleaner, slower, more attentive, and more respectful. That kind of care matters.

Your ritual at home

The product is herbal, the experience is human and care is an ingredient

  • Begin with friendliness toward yourself. Do not apply the product as if you are fixing something broken. Apply it as if you are caring for something sacred, tired, and deserving of kindness: your own body.

  • No. You do not need any special belief. The herbs, quality, and care are real whether or not you think about them. But a calm, consistent routine can help you use the product better, massage more patiently, and notice your body with more care. Belief is not required. Presence helps.

  • Gratitude turns a routine into a ritual. Instead of rushing, you pause. Instead of criticizing your hair or skin, you care for it. Research on gratitude practices suggests they can support mental wellbeing. That makes the whole experience gentler.

  • Wash your hands. Take one slow breath. Warm the product between your palms if appropriate for that product. Say silently, “May this be a moment of care.” Apply slowly. End by thanking your body. That is enough.

  • Yes, if it feels natural. Keep it simple: “May I be well.” “May my body feel cared for.” “Thank you.” The words are less important than the feeling behind them.

  • You can still use the product. Just take one extra breath before applying. A tiny pause is enough to tell the nervous system: this is care, not another chore.

  • Silence is beautiful, but not required. You can apply it with soft music, prayer, a short affirmation, natural sounds, or quiet family conversation. The best ritual is the one you will repeat with love.

  • Follow the directions for the specific product. More important than doing too much is doing it consistently and gently. Ayurveda loves rhythm. The body loves rhythm too.

  • Yes. The same product can feel different when used with hurry versus care. Touch, scent, warmth, expectation, and attention all shape human experience. This is why we say the product is only one part of the ritual.

  • Before using the product, wash your hands and take three slow breaths. While using it, slow down, notice the scent, texture, warmth, and touch, and feel a little gratitude for the plant, the care, and your own body. As a daily habit, keep a one-line gratitude note, speak kindly to yourself, and add calm sound or silence when it helps.

  • Yes. A ritual does not have to be grand. It can be ten quiet seconds in a bathroom mirror. The point is not to become perfect. The point is to become present.

Hair growth, hair loss & results.

Hair remembers stress, seasons, hormones, habits, and time. We respect that story before we speak about results.

Explore all products

  • Raje Herbal Oil is designed to support scalp massage, scalp comfort, softness, shine, conditioning, and the look of healthier hair. It is not a guaranteed hair regrowth treatment. Some people may notice encouraging changes with consistent use, but results vary. Along with the application of oil, intention is also important to manifest the result. For sudden, severe, or medical hair loss, see a dermatologist.

  • It depends. If the follicles are still active, a consistent scalp care ritual may help hair look and feel healthier. If hair loss is advanced or medical, no cosmetic oil or serum can promise regrowth. A dermatologist can help identify the cause and the right treatment.

  • Some people notice softer hair, more shine, less dryness, or a cleaner scalp feel after the first few uses. Deeper changes can take 4 to 6 weeks or longer. Hair changes slowly, so think in weeks and months, not days.

  • Hair and skin respond to many things: age, hormones, stress, sleep, diet, genetics, medications, weather, styling, and consistency. Raje Herbal can support the ritual, but your whole body and mind are part of the story.

  • Very. Herbal care is not a one-night trick. Use a simple routine consistently for at least 6 to 8 weeks before judging it, unless your skin or scalp reacts badly. If it irritates you, stop.

Hair Oil & Hair Serum

The oil is for the slow evening. The serum is for the living day.

  • Yes. A simple routine is to use Hair Oil 2 to 3 times per week as a pre-wash treatment, and use Hair Serum as a light leave-in scalp treatment after washing or on non-wash days. Use less if your scalp gets oily.

  • Hair Oil is richer and better for massage, pre-wash nourishment, and deeper conditioning. Hair Serum is lighter and better for targeted scalp support or daily use. The oil is the slower ritual. The serum is the quick touch.

  • Start with once or twice a week. If your hair is dry, you may increase slowly. If your scalp is oily or your hair is fine, use a smaller amount and keep it on for less time.

  • Start with 30 to 60 minutes. If your scalp likes it, you can leave it on longer or overnight. Protect your pillowcase and sheets, because herbal oils can stain fabric.

  • Yes, but use a small amount and do not overdo it. You may prefer using it once a week and washing it out well.

  • It can, because it is an oil. That is normal. It is meant to be washed out. Use less product and more on the roots/scalp if your hair feels heavy.

  • Massage cleanser or shampoo into the oily areas first, then add water and rinse well. Repeat if needed. Some hair types may need a regular shampoo after heavy oiling.

  • Yes. You can alternate the Hair Cleanser with your regular shampoo. Many dry, curly, colored, or processed hair types may still benefit from conditioner.

  • That earthy scent is the natural aroma of real Ayurvedic herbs, not perfume covering them up. We add no artificial fragrance or odor-masking ingredients, so the smell may feel unfamiliar at first and may vary slightly from batch to batch. It usually softens after application, and many people stop noticing it after a few uses. Still not for you? Apply the Oil or Serum at night and wash it out in the morning.

    The herbs keep working while you sleep. The proof isn't in how it smells. It's in how your hair looks. Authentic Ayurveda doesn't always smell pretty. It works.

  • Usually, gentle oils can be used with colored or processed hair, but every hair type is different. Test a small hidden section first. If your color is very light, freshly dyed, or fragile, ask your stylist.

  • The oil is deeply herbal and dark. Some light or porous hair may pick up a slight tone. If your hair is blonde, gray, white, highlighted, or very porous, test a small hidden section first.

  • You can use a tiny amount on beard or mustache hair if your skin tolerates it. Keep it away from the eyes and mouth. Patch test first.

  • Because nature is not singular. It is a relationship. One note can be pure, but music begins when notes enter harmony. In the same way, Raje Herbal brings together 25+ botanicals so each ingredient can play its role in the whole.

    Raje Herbal is a thoughtful botanical architecture built around five roles, in which every ingredient has earned its place through more than a decade of research. Some ingredients nourish. Some carry. Some balance. Some comfort. Some shape the aroma, texture, and ritual of daily care. Together, they create a complete ritual.

Hair Cleanser

Every wash is a small negotiation with nature: remove what is excess, preserve what is essential.

  • It is a low-foam herbal cleanser. It contains natural cleansing compounds, but they do not act like synthetic foaming agents. Less foam does not mean less clean.

  • A little. But foam is not the ritual. Cleanliness is.

  • Wet your hair well. Apply the cleanser to the scalp and roots. Massage gently. Let it sit briefly, then rinse very well. If your hair has a lot of oil in it, you may need a second cleanse.

  • For some people, yes. Others may prefer to alternate it with regular shampoo, especially after heavy oiling, workouts, styling products, or hard-water buildup.

  • Any cleanser can feel drying if overused or not rinsed well. Start slowly. If your hair feels dry, use less cleanser, cleanse less often, or follow with conditioner on the lengths.

  • Yes. If your hair is dry, curly, coarse, colored, or chemically treated, conditioner on the lengths can help.

Face Pack

The face is where the world meets you first. Your skin carries weather, sleep, stress, memory, and mood. It needs rhythm, kindness, love, and a moment without hurry.

Explore all products

  • No. Use it 1 to 2 times a week, depending on your skin. Overuse can dry or irritate skin.

  • Mix a small amount with water or another skin-friendly liquid you already tolerate. Apply a thin layer. Do not scrub hard. Rinse before it gets uncomfortably tight or overly dry.

  • No. Raje Herbal does not promote fairness. Your skin tone is not a problem to fix. The Face Pack is designed to help skin look fresher, smoother, and more even by reducing surface dullness and excess oil.

  • Be careful. Do not use it on the same day as strong exfoliating acids, retinoids, peels, or harsh scrubs if your skin is sensitive. Keep your routine simple and avoid over-exfoliating.

  • You may try it only if your skin is calm and not broken, but patch test first. Do not use it on open pimples, painful acne, severe irritation, or active flare-ups. For persistent acne, ask a dermatologist.

  • Rinse gently, pat dry, and use a simple moisturizer. During the day, use sunscreen.

Freshness, storage & appearance

Mass production loves sameness. Nature prefers character. When a product is made with real herbs, it may carry the subtle differences of harvest, season, and time.

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture, and excessive heat. Keep water out of oils and serums. Close lids tightly after each use. Use clean, dry hands or tools when touching the product.

  • The products are made in small batches and shipped fresh. Hair Oil: 6 months from the manufacture date. Hair Serum: 6 months. Face Pack: 12 months sealed, 6 months after opening. Hair Cleanser: 12 months sealed, 6 months after opening. Store as directed.

  • The deep amber-brown color comes from the herbs infused into the oil. We do not try to make it clear and perfume-like. The color is part of the traditional preparation.

  • Because there is no synthetic perfume covering the herbs. The scent comes from the botanicals themselves. Some people call it earthy, herbal, or medicinal. To us, it smells like something real.

  • Natural oils can sometimes thicken or look cloudy when cold. Warm the bottle in your hands or place it in warm water for a few minutes. Do not microwave it.

  • Yes. The oil is dark and herbal, so protect clothing, towels, sheets, and pillowcases. Use an old towel or hair wrap on oiling days.

  • The products are handcrafted in small batches using slow, manual, traditional methods inspired by Ayurvedic preparation.

Pricing, values & support

Behind every product is a simple value: treat people the way we would want our own family treated.

  • The formulas use many herbs, including carefully sourced and globally sourced herbs. They also require slow manual preparation, packaging, and shipping. We do not follow mass-market shortcuts. The price is meant to cover quality and the mission, not big corporate markups. Our manual labor is a gift to you.

  • Raje Herbal products are not simple single-ingredient oils. The Hair Oil and Serum contain many herbs and require a long preparation process. The price reflects the herbs, care, packaging, preparation materials, and shipping.

  • Yes. All Raje Herbal products are handcrafted in the USA by Himanshu Bharadwaj using traditional Ayurvedic-inspired preparation methods. Herbs are sourced globally.

  • If you are unsure where to start, contact us with your hair, scalp, or skin type; the product you are considering; and any sensitivities. We will guide you honestly. Add your contact email or contact form link here before publishing.

    Support is part of the product. You are not a transaction to us; you are someone using something we made. We also believe that a good brand does not end at checkout. It stays answerable.

  • Start slowly, patch test, and use one product at a time. If you have a medical concern, speak with a clinician before using any new product.

Safety, patch testing & sensitivity

Your body is not a battlefield for products. Use gently, lovingly, joyfully, gratefully, and let comfort be the first result.

Explore all products

  • Yes. Natural does not always mean non-irritating. Plants contain active compounds, and every body responds differently. Patch test every product before full use.

  • If you have sensitive skin, allergies, eczema, or a history of reactions to hair or skin products, apply a small amount to a small area, such as the inner arm, bend of the elbow, or behind your ear, and watch for redness, itching, swelling, burning, or irritation before wider use.

    Use the normal amount you would use on your hair or skin. At minimum, wait 24 hours before full use. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, test for several days before using it fully. Do not use if you see redness, itching, burning, swelling, or a rash.

  • Sensitive users should start slowly and patch test first. Do not use on broken skin, open cuts, active irritation, rashes, or severe scalp or skin flare-ups. Avoid the eyes for all products.

  • Stop right away. Rinse gently with water. Do not reapply. If irritation continues or gets worse, contact a clinician.

  • Avoid direct contact with the eyes. If a product gets into your eyes, rinse gently with clean water.

  • Please ask your physician before using the Hair Oil or Hair Serum during pregnancy, when managing a skin or scalp condition, or while breastfeeding. With any product, patch test first and use only if your clinician feels it is appropriate for you.

  • Use only with adult supervision and after patch testing. Avoid eyes and mouth. Do not use on infants unless a clinician has cleared it. For young children, use very small amounts and stop if there is any reaction.

  • Yes. Use them only on hair, scalp, or skin as directed. Do not swallow them, and keep them away from children and pets.

  • Please ask a dermatologist or clinician first. Raje Herbal can support a gentle hair and skin ritual, but it is not a treatment for medical scalp or skin conditions.

  • They are designed to be gentle and usable by many hair and skin types. Still, individual sensitivities vary. Patch test first and start slowly.

  • Yes. The formulas are plant- and mineral-based, with no animal-derived ingredients, and no animal testing was performed.

  • They are made with herbal, plant, and mineral ingredients.

  • Use the amount recommended. More is not always better. Slow, steady, gentle use is more aligned with the Raje Herbal way than overuse.
