42 Potent Ingredients Inside Our Daadi’s 70-Year-Old Formulas

Before the word “organic” got slapped onto skincare bottles, before wellness turned into a trend, our Daadi ji was already doing the real work.

She didn’t read ingredient labels. She was the ingredient label.

In her kitchen, she blended oils not for Instagram reels but for itchy scalps, thinning hair, rashes, and kids who wouldn’t stop scratching their elbows. Her formulas weren’t trendy. They were timeless. Passed down, tested on real people, and remembered not because they were branded—but because they worked.

Today, DaadiPlanet’s Varied Product Range carries that legacy forward.

At first glance, the bottle lists just a few familiar ingredients. But inside each product is a combination of many active natural compounds—the kind that soothe inflamed skin, restore hair from the root, and do what modern products often pretend to do.

Let’s break them down.

OILS THAT PHARMA COMPANIES SELL YOU AT 1% VOLUME

1. Ricinoleic Acid (from Castor Oil)

Not just any fatty acid. Ricinoleic acid has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that reduce scalp infections and unclog hair follicles.

2. Vitamin E (from Coconut & Sesame Oils)

An antioxidant that protects the skin barrier, boosts collagen, and improves blood flow in the scalp.

3. Lauric Acid (from Coconut Oil)

Deeply penetrates hair shafts. Strengthens the root. Reduces protein loss after every wash.

4. Sesamin (from Sesame Oil)

A rare lignan compound that helps detox the skin, regulates sebum production, and slows down premature greying.

5. Capric Triglycerides (from Coconut Oil)

Acts as an emollient. Softens rough patches on the skin and prevents moisture loss.

6. Linoleic Acid (from Castor & Sesame Oils)

Helps with acne-prone skin by balancing oil levels. Soothes eczema, psoriasis, and flaky scalp.

7. Zinc (trace mineral in Sesame Seeds)

Essential for hair tissue growth and repair. Also regulates the oil glands.

8. Copper Peptides (naturally found in sesame & castor blend)

Boosts blood flow to the scalp. Triggers growth of thick, pigmented hair.

9. Phytosterols (plant compounds from oils)

They calm irritated skin, reduce UV-induced damage, and improve moisture retention.

10. Omega-9 Fatty Acids (especially from Castor Oil)

Moisturizes dry scalp, adds shine, and builds elasticity into brittle hair.

SPECIAL COMPOUNDS EXTRACTED FROM TURAI

Turai, also known as Ridge Gourd, isn’t just dinner. It’s medicine. Once dried, soaked in oil, and slow-infused, it releases compounds most commercial labs still haven’t bottled.

11. Triterpenoids

These bioactive compounds fight scalp inflammation, kill fungal growth, and support hair regeneration[^3].

12. Cucurbitacins

Yes, they sound harsh. But in small doses, they help cleanse the skin, remove dandruff, and improve blood circulation.

13. Sapogenins

Natural cleansers that detox pores, reduce acne, and heal minor cuts on the scalp or skin.

14. Polyphenols

Strong antioxidants that protect against oxidative stress—one of the key causes of premature aging and hair loss.

15. Flavonoids

They don’t just protect plants. They shield your scalp from environmental damage and support natural melanin production.

ESSENTIAL OILS WITH A PURPOSE

Daadi ji didn’t believe in “fragrance” oils. She used essential oils the way Ayurveda intended: to treat the root, not mask the problem.

Each one in the DaadiPlanet blend plays a role. No filler. No fluff.

16. Tea Tree Oil

Antifungal. Antibacterial. Clears dandruff. Calms scalp inflammation. And kills the microbes that block hair follicles.

17. Peppermint Oil

Boosts blood circulation, which means more nutrients reach the hair root. Also soothes itchy, irritated skin and cools minor inflammation.

18. Lavender Oil

More than a scent. Studies show it stimulates hair growth and speeds up wound healing. Good for stressed scalps and tension-prone skin.

19. Rosemary Oil

One of the most studied oils for hair regrowth. Proven to perform on par with minoxidil (yes, the pharmaceutical one) in boosting thickness and reducing fall.

20. Eucalyptus Oil

Cleans clogged pores, fights lice, and helps regulate scalp oiliness. For skin, it doubles as a gentle antiseptic.

21. Lemongrass Oil

A natural astringent that reduces skin irritation, combats scalp fungus, and leaves a fresh finish.

22. Clove Oil

Powerful antioxidant. Helps reverse oxidative stress in hair roots. Also numbs minor skin irritations and supports healing.

23. Basil (Tulsi) Oil

Anti-inflammatory. Strengthens hair at the root. Revives tired skin, especially when applied to dry or weather-beaten areas.

24. Camphor Oil

Used in traditional Indian remedies to increase hair volume, reduce itchiness, and stimulate blood flow.

25. Vetiver Oil (Khus)

Grounding and cooling. Used for reducing scalp heat, healing cracked heels, and balancing oily skin.

TABLET SUPPLEMENTS YOU’VE LIKELY TAKEN

This is where it gets interesting. These aren’t ingredients you’ll see on most labels. But they’re hiding inside DaadiPlanet’s base oils—working quietly, consistently, and deeply.

26. Tocopherol (Vitamin E complex)

Protects hair follicles from breakage. Speeds up skin regeneration after damage or dryness[^8].

27. Magnesium

Often overlooked, but critical for hair follicle DNA repair and skin hydration.

28. Iron

Helps oxygen reach hair roots. Iron deficiency = thinning hair. This oil helps restore it at the source.

29. Calcium

Strengthens the scalp barrier. Also important in regulating skin cell turnover and keeping pores clean.

30. Potassium

Keeps the scalp hydrated. Helps in balancing pH levels and supporting skin barrier repair.

31. Sterols

Present in sesame and coconut oils. They enhance moisture retention and calm redness.

32. Caffeic Acid

Naturally found in castor oil. Helps with anti-aging, skin brightening, and reducing puffiness.

33. Resveratrol

Yes, the one in red wine. Trace amounts exist in sesame seed oil. Helps reduce sun damage and premature aging.

34. Palmitic Acid

A fatty acid that creates a protective layer over skin and hair, sealing in moisture.

35. Stearic Acid

Another unsung hero. It removes excess sebum, unclogs pores, and helps other ingredients absorb better.

READILY AVAILABLE IN NATURE AND NOT MADE IN A LAB

These aren’t exotic or rare. They’re effective. That’s all Daadi cared about.

36. Myristic Acid (from coconut oil)

Natural cleanser. Lifts off surface dirt without stripping the skin’s barrier.

37. Vitamin K

Improves skin elasticity. Reduces dark patches and uneven tone, especially around the neck and hairline.

38. Squalene (from sesame oil)

Balances oil levels. Softens dry patches. Repairs rough, inflamed skin.

39. Phenolic Compounds

Strong antioxidants. They fight free radicals that damage both skin and hair at the cellular level1.

40. Vitamin A (Retinoids)

In micro-doses, it encourages collagen production and skin renewal. Found in the natural breakdown of plant oils.

41. Niacin (Vitamin B3)

Improves circulation to the scalp. Fades hyperpigmentation on skin. Strengthens the hair shaft.

42. Thymoquinone (trace from infused herbs and oils)

Anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. Found in traditional healing blends to treat skin infections and promote scalp health.

NOT A MAKEOVER. A RETURN TO HOW GOOD YOU’RE MEANT TO FEEL.

Imagine waking up, running your fingers through hair that feels thicker, fuller, alive. No more strands on the pillow. Just strength, from root to tip—thanks to ingredients like ricinoleic acid, rosemary, and niacin working while you sleep.

No more flaking on your shoulders or scratching your scalp mid-meeting. Tea tree, eucalyptus, and basil keep dandruff and itch at bay, so your hair feels clean longer, even in the heat.

Your strands don’t snap when you comb. They glide. Fatty acids seal the cuticle, smooth the texture, and keep the split ends away.

Your skin? No more dry patches that sting or itch by noon. Squalene and tocopherol calm the inflammation. Redness fades. Rough spots soften.

Over time, your face begins to even out. Not with makeup. With real, slow, visible change—pigmentation lightens, texture smooths, that tired dullness lifts. You catch your reflection and feel good without effort.

And while everyone else slathers on chemical sunscreens, your oils already carry natural UV defenders. Polyphenols protect. Sesame shields. You glow—and you stay protected.

This isn’t cosmetic. It’s a shift in how your skin and hair behave. And once you feel it, you won’t go back.

WHY MODERN PRODUCTS DON’T MEASURE UP

Walk into a store and you’ll find two types of products:

Stuffed with perfume, silicone, and empty claims—slick on the outside, useless inside.

Or labeled “natural” but built around one trendy ingredient and a bloated price tag.

DaadiPlanet isn’t either.

These aren’t the results of market testing or copy-paste formulas. They’re born from time. From real ingredients. From decades of lived experience passed through our Daadi’s hands.

Every oil in this range has a job. It doesn’t sit pretty on a shelf. It gets to work—healing, restoring, protecting.

And no, nothing here smells like berries or bubblegum. It smells like something that’s meant to do something.

DAADI WAS NEVER SELLING MIRACLES

She didn’t promise overnight results. She promised care. That’s what these bottles hold.

42 ingredients. Range of products. Zero shortcuts.

And it still works the way it did when she first mixed it in a copper pot in a small town in Uttar Pradesh.

If you’re tired of flashy bottles that do nothing, this is your quiet, powerful alternative.
