Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening Shampoo — 1.7 fl oz travel size, silicone-free bond-building formula

Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening Shampoo is a silicone-free, plant-powered cleanser that gently removes buildup while helping to strengthen and repair damaged hair from the inside out.

This travel-ready 1.7 fl oz shampoo is formulated with 94% naturally derived ingredients and uses plant-derived bond-building molecules, avocado oil, green tea and sacha inchi oil to support hair resilience without silicones or harsh sulfates. It’s designed as the first step in the Botanical Repair routine and pairs with the Botanical Repair Strengthening Conditioner to maximize bond support and improve hair strength. The formula is free from animal-derived ingredients, synthetic fragrance, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil and other common additives, and features Aveda’s Pure-Fume aroma of certified organic ylang-ylang, rose and marjoram.

How does this shampoo help repair damaged hair?

The shampoo gently cleanses while depositing plant-derived molecules that target weakened points along the hair fiber, helping to support internal structure and reduce the feeling of breakage. It’s designed to work cumulatively with the conditioner to rebuild bond integrity and improve manageability.

• Contains bond-supporting plant molecules that strengthen hair strands.
• Includes avocado and sacha inchi oils to nourish and smooth cuticles.
• Removes sebum, product residue and pollution without stripping natural oils.

Is this suitable for my hair type and color-treated hair?

This shampoo is formulated for all hair types, including fine, curly, chemically treated and color-treated hair. Its gentle, silicone-free cleansing approach helps preserve color vibrancy while improving texture and strength.

• Safe for use on color-treated and chemically processed hair.
• Lightweight enough for fine hair yet nourishing for thicker textures.
• Helps reduce tangles and frizz for easier styling and manageability.

How should I use Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening Shampoo in my routine?

Start by wetting hair thoroughly, then massage a small amount of shampoo into the scalp and lengths to create a gentle lather. Rinse well and follow with Botanical Repair Strengthening Conditioner for best bond-building results; repeat if hair is heavily soiled or product-heavy.

• Apply to wet hair, lather, and rinse thoroughly.
• Follow with Botanical Repair Strengthening Conditioner for maximum benefit.
• For intensive repair, use regularly as part of the Botanical Repair system.

What ingredients are omitted and what’s the scent profile?

The formula intentionally excludes silicones, SLS/SLES, synthetic fragrance, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil and other common additives. Instead, it relies on naturally derived components and Aveda’s Pure-Fume aroma made from certified organic flower and plant essences.

• Free from silicones, sulfates, parabens and synthetic fragrances.
• 94% naturally derived ingredients per ISO 16128 standard.
• Scented with certified organic ylang-ylang, rose and marjoram for a botanical aroma.
