AQUA GUARD Clarifying Shampoo for Swimmers — 2-Pack, Removes Chlorine & Pool Odor, Color-Safe

AQUA GUARD Clarifying Shampoo removes chlorine, pool odor, and mineral buildup to restore clean, soft, color-safe hair after swimming.

Frequent swimmers know how chlorine and pool minerals can leave hair feeling dry, dull, and smelling like the pool. AQUA GUARD Clarifying Shampoo is formulated to target those residues without stripping hair color or natural moisture. Paraben free, vegan, and Leaping Bunny certified, this shampoo is designed to refresh hair after the pool and pair well with AquaGuard Pre-Swim Hair Defense for a complete swim-care routine.

How does this shampoo get rid of chlorine and pool smell?

The formula lifts chlorine, mineral deposits, and lingering odors by using surfactants and chelating agents that break down buildup and dissolve trapped particles. Rinse after application removes the loosened residue, leaving hair cleaner and more manageable. It's crafted to avoid harsh stripping so color-treated hair stays vibrant.

• Targets chlorine, bromine, and mineral film on hair strands
• Designed for efficient rinse-out to remove trapped odors
• Color-safe formulation protects dyed hair

Will this dry out my hair or fade my color?

AQUA GUARD Clarifying Shampoo balances clarifying strength with conditioning support to reduce dryness commonly caused by pool chemicals. It’s labeled color safe to minimize fading when used as directed, and it works best when combined with your usual conditioner to restore softness and shine. For very dry hair, follow with a moisturizing conditioner or leave-in treatment.

• Formulated to clear buildup without aggressive stripping
• Recommended to follow with conditioner for hydration
• Safe for color-treated hair when used according to instructions

How should I use the shampoo for best results after swimming?

Use the clarifying shampoo on wet hair immediately after swimming for maximum removal of pool residues. Lather through roots to ends, let it sit briefly to allow the formula to act on deposits, then rinse thoroughly. For routine swimmers, use after each swim or as needed to maintain hair health and scent control.

• Wet hair, apply a generous amount, lather from roots to tips
• Allow a short dwell time (30–60 seconds) before rinsing
• Follow with conditioner or leave-in treatment for extra moisture

Does this pair well with other swim hair products?

AQUA GUARD Clarifying Shampoo is designed to complement AquaGuard Pre-Swim Hair Defense and standard conditioners or treatments. Use the Pre-Swim product before entering the pool to reduce chemical uptake, and the clarifying shampoo afterward to remove what still accumulates. This combination helps maintain hair texture and protects color over time.

• Works with AquaGuard Pre-Swim Hair Defense for a two-step routine
• Compatible with most conditioners and color-care products
• Leaping Bunny certified and vegan—suitable for conscious shoppers

Who is this for: AQUA GUARD Clarifying Shampoo is ideal for regular pool and hot tub users who need an effective rinse-out solution to eliminate chlorine and pool odors without sacrificing hair color or moisture. It’s a good match for swimmers with color-treated or chemically processed hair, athletes exposed to pool chemicals, parents managing kids’ swim gear, and anyone seeking a cruelty-free, vegan clarifying option made in California.
