Product overview
Vatika Naturals Cactus & Gergir Hair Fall Control Shampoo 1000ml is a shampoo formulated with Cactus and Gergir (rocket/arugula) Extracts, marketed to help reduce hair fall caused by breakage.
Ingredient note: the brand's marketing positions this as a natural, extract-led formula, but the disclosed ingredient list shows it is a conventional sulfate-based shampoo with Cactus and Gergir extracts added, not a chemical-free formula. This description reflects that reality rather than the brand's "natural" framing. The ingredient list below is sourced from the smaller 200ml SKU of this product; the exact panel for the 1000ml size was not independently confirmed, though Vatika typically uses one master formula across pack sizes in a given market.
Key Ingredients
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate — the primary cleansing surfactant confirmed in the formula; this means the product is not chemical-free despite its natural-extract marketing.

- Amodimethicone & Dimethiconol — silicones included to help add shine and manageability.
