Cool, refreshing power of thanakha

This paste, made from the bark of the thanakha tree that grows abundantly in Myanmar, India and Sri Lanka, not only acts as an astringent but naturally locks in moisture, leaving the skin cool, smooth and fresh.

Silky Shine has taken advantage of this by adding thanakha to its range of hair care products to help keep the scalp cool and refreshed without menthol. The shampoos and conditioners are enriched with thanakha, biotin and other natural ingredients such as olive oil, pomelo, green tea, yoghurt, honey and vitamins B5 and E.

These protect the hair from the damaging effects of the sun, chemicals and daily hair-styling.

The end result – smooth, silky hair.

Available at all leading pharmacies, supermarkets and hypermarkets.
