Gooseberry (Amla) Powder from India
Amla powder goes two ways out of India: into supplements and ayurvedic formulations, and into hair care, where it is blended with henna and botanical oils. The grade is much the same; what differs is the mesh and how fussy the buyer is about colour. We supply both.
- Dried Indian gooseberry fruit
- Seed removed before milling
- Milled to 80–100 mesh
- APEDA & FSSAI registered
- Food and cosmetic trade grades
- Bulk and private label packing
Gooseberry (Amla) Powder
Amla, the Indian gooseberry, has been a staple of ayurvedic practice for centuries and has since found a second market abroad in supplements and natural hair care. Most of the world’s supply comes from India, and demand has been steady rather than faddish, which makes it a sensible line to hold.
Fruit is washed, deseeded and cut, then dried and milled. Seed and fibre are screened out before the final sieve, so what ships is fruit powder rather than whole-fruit grind. Drying temperature is kept moderate, since amla is valued for its vitamin C content and heat degrades it.
Buyers in the hair care trade usually want a finer mesh that blends smoothly into henna and oil pastes without grit; supplement buyers care more about moisture and consistency between batches. Tell us which trade you’re in and we’ll match the grade.
Common uses
Ayurvedic and herbal formulations, capsules and tablets, chyawanprash and food preparations, herbal hair care, henna blends, and cosmetic products.

Packing And Delivery
Powder is packed into kraft paper bags with a food-grade inner liner, heat sealed, and palletised for ordinary dry containers. Amla powder darkens if it is exposed to moisture or left open, so bags stay sealed and are kept clear of damp and strong-smelling cargo. Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and phytosanitary certificate go with every shipment, along with a batch analysis report where your buyer requires one.
