Horsetail Powder is a finely milled green botanical powder made from carefully dried aerial parts of Equisetum arvense . Naturally rich in silica, it is traditionally used in skin, hair and nail-focused routines, as well as herbal teas, bath soaks, nail soaks and rinse-off hair preparations. Horsetail is also commonly used in herbalism as a mild astringent and diuretic. The bulk powder format suits makers who need quick measuring, easy blending and repeat-use preparation.
♡ Why we love it: Horsetail powder is fresh, grassy and practical for mineral-leaning DIY routines. It works neatly in hair rinses, nail soaks, bath blends and carefully strained teas where a clean botanical profile is wanted.
