How does this shampoo hydrate without weighing hair down?

The formula avoids heavy silicones and harsh sulfates, instead relying on hydrolyzed oat protein and lightweight essential oils to deliver moisture to each strand. That combination smooths the hair surface, reduces friction and helps hair appear shinier without feeling greasy.

• Hydrolyzed oat protein for targeted moisture and softness
• Light essential oils (lavender, ylang ylang, ho wood) to condition without residue
• Sulfate-free cleansing agents that remove dirt but preserve natural oils

Will it work for both oily and dry scalps?

Yes — the balancing essential oil blend and gentle surfactants are designed to cleanse excess oil while replenishing areas that feel dry. Regular use helps maintain a more even scalp moisture barrier, making it a versatile choice across hair types.

• Essential oils chosen to help balance scalp oil production
• Formulation suitable for daily use on varied hair textures
• Pairs well with Balance Conditioner to complete the routine

What sensory experience should I expect in the shower?

The shampoo produces a smooth lather with a calming, aromatic profile — fresh lavender topnotes anchored by soft floral ylang ylang and a subtle woody base from ho wood. The scent is uplifting yet not overpowering, leaving hair pleasantly fragranced after rinsing.

• Light foaming action for easy distribution
• Aromatherapy-style scent designed to soothe and uplift
• Leaves hair feeling refreshed and lightly scented

Is this shampoo environmentally friendly and gentle on skin?

The formula excludes SLS and SLES and the bottle uses 30% post-consumer recycled plastic, reflecting reduced environmental impact and milder surfactants. Ingredients are selected for gentleness, making it appropriate for those with sensitive scalps who seek cleaner formulations.

• No SLS or SLES sulfates
• Packaging contains 30% post-consumer recycled material
• Vegan formulation without animal-derived ingredients
