ETimes April 19, 2025 11:39 PM
Back when Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna built and launched Patanjali, a brand that was committed to India and Indians, the duo took the market by storm. Patanjali’s Ayurvedic products changed the way Indians thought about healthcare, and gave better and healthier alternatives to foreign brands that only cared about money, not health.
Patanjali built a strong brand reputation for its commitment to providing Ayurvedic solutions that are rooted in ancient traditions while being apt for contemporary needs. They combined traditional wisdom with modern-day requirements, and soon became a household name for their products.

And one of the best examples is their health and body care, especially the soaps, shampoos, herbal oils, and more.

Patanjali helped people turn to chemical-free products that offer both efficacy and safety, and are the perfect mix of Ayurvedic ingredients such as neem, aloe vera, and bhringraj, and cleansing properties that suit Indian hair and scalp types.
These natural herbs have always been known for their ability to cleanse, strengthen, and nourish the hair, while also helping to maintain a healthy scalp. Their shampoos are free from harsh chemicals like parabens and sulfates, which are often found in regular commercial shampoos, and this makes them an attractive option for those looking for a more natural way to take care of their hair

Progressing in the haircare industry are Patanjali’s herbal oils. Their offerings, such as ‘Kesh Kanti Oil’ and ‘Tejus Oil’, also gave people natural and more ‘real’ options in a chemical and preservative-loaded market. These oils are infused with potent herbs like sesame, mustard, and coconut oil, each with its own set of therapeutic properties.
In a world filled with chemical-laden cosmetics and health products, Patanjali products gave people a simpler, natural solution.

Bodycare industry

Soaps too are Patanjali’s strong suits, and from the Sandal soap to the Aloe vera variant, all of these became household names pretty quickly.
They became the first choice for people who wanted a more holistic approach to personal hygiene, and the soaps were made with ingredients like sandalwood, aloe vera, and neem, which are famous for their skin-soothing and antibacterial properties. Unlike regular soaps that may strip the skin of its natural oils, Patanjali soaps help retain moisture, leaving the skin feeling soft and refreshed.

Healthy food range

Apart from personal care products, Patanjali has also made a mark in the food and beverage sector by offering a wide array of Ayurvedic-based products. Their food items, including herbal teas, juices, snacks, and more, provide a healthier alternative to many conventional options available in the market. Patanjali’s ‘Amla juice’ for example is a popular choice due to its rich vitamin C content, which is important for boosting immunity and promoting healthy skin..

Plus, the options of organic grains, pulses, and spices, also helped people make healthier choices in their kitchen, adding and using all-healthy ingredients, free from excess polish or chemisca;s.
Even the Patanjali Aata quickly became a favourite choice for many Indian homes, for its nutrition and cost-effectiveness.

How Patanjali is redefining modern health
Patanjali Ayurvedic products are merging traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with modern needs, making natural healthcare accessible and effective. In an age where many people are becoming more conscious about the chemicals they put on their bodies, Patanjali offers a solution that blends the best of nature with everyday convenience. Be it the gentle, nourishing shampoos, the therapeutic oils, or the skin-loving soaps, Patanjali's products are not just about personal care, they’re about embracing a healthier, more natural lifestyle.
