A sulfate-free shampoo enriched with coconut, argan, and jojoba oils designed to deeply cleanse while restoring moisture to dry or damaged hair.
This formula offers a strong cleaning performance using Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, a high-foaming surfactant that serves as a popular alternative to traditional sulfates (SLS/SLES). While powerful, it is balanced by Cocamidopropyl Betaine to reduce harshness. The inclusion of Polyquaternium-10 ensures excellent slip, detangling, and anti-static properties. Furthermore, the addition of Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) and a blend of oils (Coconut, Argan, Jojoba) provides notable moisturizing and smoothing benefits, making hair feel soft and manageable.
The product utilizes a gentle, food-grade preservative system (Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate) and avoids parabens, formaldehyde donors, and isothiazolinones. It uses Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, an eco-friendly chelating agent. However, the presence of generic Fragrance (Parfum) is a potential trigger for those with scent sensitivities. Additionally, while sulfate-free, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate can still be drying or irritating to very sensitive scalps if not perfectly buffered.
This is a well-formulated, modern shampoo that bridges the gap between natural trends and salon efficacy. It avoids the ‘dirty dozen’ ingredients (like sulfates and parabens) while maintaining the rich lather and cleaning power consumers expect. The inclusion of luxury additives like Shea Butter Extract and Rice Bran Extract adds value. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a sulfate-free cleanse that does not compromise on foam or detangling capabilities.
This formulation offers a robust cleaning experience without the use of traditional sulfates. The primary surfactant, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, acts as a powerful cleansing agent that effectively removes dirt and buildup. While it is technically sulfate-free, this ingredient is quite strong; however, the formula balances this potency with Cocamidopropyl Betaine, a gentle secondary surfactant that mitigates potential irritation and improves foam quality. This combination ensures the hair feels clean but not overly stripped. The standout feature of this product is its impressive blend of moisturizing agents. The inclusion of Coconut Oil, Argan Oil, Shea Butter, and Jojoba Oil signals a heavy focus on hydration and lipid restoration. These ingredients work together to smooth the hair cuticle, reduce frizz, and add shine, making the product highly suitable for high-porosity or textured hair that struggles to retain moisture. Panthenol (Vitamin B5) and Glycerin further aid this process by acting as humectants to draw water into the hair shaft. From a texture and handling perspective, Polyquaternium-10 is a valuable addition, providing excellent slip, anti-static properties, and light conditioning, which aids in detangling during the wash process. The formula is stabilized with safe preservatives like Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate. However, potential users should note the presence of Fragrance, which appears relatively high in the ingredient list. While this enhances the sensory experience, it can be a trigger for those with contact dermatitis or very sensitive scalps. Additionally, the weight of the oils might be overwhelming for fine hair, leading to a lack of volume.
