WHAT IS SHAMPOO GINGER LILY?
The unique pinecone-shaped inflorescence of Zingiber Zerumbet, commonly known as the “Shampoo Ginger Lily,” gives it its name. When squeezed, these inflorescences release a delightful milky-white transparent substance with a pleasant fragrance.

The Zingiberaceae family, found in Southeast Asia, actively utilizes several ginger spices as spices, flavourings, and medicinal remedies. These spices hold high value due to their distinctive flavours and the beneficial properties they offer in traditional medicine. One remarkable example is the milky juice extracted from the pine cones, which actively serves as a renowned natural shampoo.
HOW TO EXTRACT SHAMPOO GINGER JUICE
Mature inflorescences of the Shampoo Ginger Lily typically measure between 2 and 4 inches in length. To extract Shampoo Ginger juice, gently squeeze the pine cones of the plant. The juice will flow out, and you can collect it in a glass jar. There is no need to cut the cones off the plant.
One fascinating quality of these inflorescences is their ability to replenish themselves over time after being squeezed. This natural resilience allows provides a steady supply of the nourishing substance for ongoing use.

HOW TO GROW AND CARE FOR SHAMPOO GINGER LILY
The Shampoo Ginger Lily (Zingiber Zerumbet) is known for its vibrant red flowers and unique red pine cones, which emit a refreshing ginger-like fragrance. These flowers, standing 2 to 4 inches tall, bloom during the plant’s growing season from spring to late summer, adding a pop of colour to the garden and attracting bees and butterflies. The red pine cones, with their delightful scent and distinctive hue, enhance the sensory experience in the garden.
During the growing season, it is recommended to squeeze the cones of the Shampoo Ginger Lily, particularly from May to September. However, it’s important to note that as winter approaches, the cones will go dormant and wilt, along with the plant’s leaves. To ensure their survival, the ginger rhizomes are left in the ground, allowing them to sprout again in the following spring.
In colder climates, it is advisable to remove the rhizomes from the ground or bring them indoors if they are in pots. This precaution is necessary as colder temperatures can impact the growth and survival of the plant. Taking these steps will help ensure the continued health and beauty of the Shampoo Ginger Lily in various environments.
CAN YOU GROW SHAMPOO GINGER LILY INDOORS?
Growing ginger lily for shampoo production is a relatively easy process as it can be grown effortlessly both outdoors and indoors.
HOW TO STORE SHAMPOO GINGER EXTRACT
To store Shampoo Ginger, it is recommended to use a sealed, air-tight container made of either glass or ceramic. For short-term storage, refrigerating it for up to one week actively helps maintain its freshness. If you desire to store it for a longer duration, freezing it allows for year-round use, and it can be easily thawed as needed.
While keeping the Shampoo Ginger in the shower without refrigeration is possible for up to a month, it is not actively suggested for optimal safety and preservation of the product. Refrigeration or freezing actively ensures the quality of the Shampoo Ginger is maintained over an extended period.
