Are "Natural" and "Herbal" the Same Understanding the Difference

What Does “Natural” Mean in Skincare and Haircare?
Anything that comes from nature is considered natural. Nature includes plants, minerals, clays, oils, fruits, and anything derived from the earth without being made synthetically in a lab.

Face packs which we have been using in India since ancient times, ubtan, besan, multani mitti, masoor dal besan, chana dal besan, nowadays brands sell them in name of face masks, clay mask. These natural ingredients are gentle on skin and natural skincare for oily skin, good for daily use as in the long run, chemical free skincare will keep your skin protected and keep it younger looking.

However, many brands nowadays greenwash their product as natural, ayurvedic, herbal, by including one or two natural ingredients like Aloe vera, turmeric, neem but still use parabens, SLS, synthetic fragrance or preservatives. Do not let them fool you and check the back of the pack to see ingredients.

What Does “Herbal” Mean?
Herbal products are made from medicinal plants and herbs that have been used for centuries in Ayurveda. Ingredients such as bhringraj, amla, brahmi, neem, hibiscus, manjistha, and jatamansi are not just natural — they are healing herbs.

This is why herbal formulations are commonly used in ayurvedic treatment for hair loss and regrowth and in ayurvedic hair growth products. Bhringraj supports hair growth, aloe vera soothes the scalp, and manjistha helps purify the skin.

Herbal shampoos, such as those made with areetha (soapnut), are gentle cleansers and form the base of the best ayurvedic hair care products in India.

Natural vs Herbal: The Key Difference
A simple way to understand this is:

Natural means it comes from nature
Herbal means it comes from healing plants
For example:
A clay mask is natural because it comes from minerals
A bhringraj shampoo is herbal because it is plant-based
All herbal products are natural, but not all natural products are herbal.
