ACT+ ACRE Clarifying Hard Water Shampoo — 10 fl oz Cold-Processed, Removes Mineral & Chlorine, Color-Safe Hydration

Act+Acre Clarifying Hard Water Shampoo is a gentle, cold‑processed cleanser that removes mineral and chlorine buildup while preserving moisture and shine.

Hard water minerals and product residue can leave hair dull, heavy, and prone to irritation; this targeted formula uses fulvic acid and a vitamin C–rich complex to break down build‑up while a mild coconut‑derived cleanser lifts impurities without overdrying. Crafted with carrot seed oil and 3% coconut cleanser, this shampoo aims to reset the scalp microbiome, improve manageability, and reveal brighter, softer strands that are safe for color‑treated hair.

How does this shampoo remove hard water minerals without stripping my hair?

The product combines fulvic acid and antioxidant vitamin C components that help loosen mineral deposits and chlorine, while a gentle coconut‑based surfactant lifts residue. The cold‑processed method preserves ingredient efficacy so cleansing is effective yet non‑aggressive.
