The word "amla" derives from "amalaki", the Ayurvedic name with which this plant is called, also known as Indian Gooseberry.

The botanical term that identifies it is Emblica Officinalis. The Emblica is a small to medium-sized tree plant of the Euphorbiaceae family, native to India and in general to the tropical and subtropical areas of Southeast Asia such as China and Indonesia. The plant has a smooth green gray deciduous bark with slightly oblong leaves and spherical yellow or pink fruits.

In Ayurvedic medicine it is used as a remedy for many ailments, thanks to its antioxidant quality, which makes this vegetable valid in the treatment of various degenerative dysfunctions associated with aging.

The gooseberry fruit extract is characterized by a high amount of vitamins and polyphenols. As for its beneficial actions against the hair, it is considered a strengthening of the hair structure as it gives vigor and shine, this beneficial effect is attributable to the high content of vitamin C.
In addition, it can be used in facial products (masks), to nourish and soften the skin, brighten the complexion and offer a mild astringent effect.
