goop Amino Acid Shampoo — Frankincense & Sandalwood 8.5 fl oz, Sulfate- & Paraben-Free, Hydrolyzed Pea Protein

goop Beauty Amino Acid Shampoo is a gentle, sulfate- and paraben-free daily cleanser that hydrates, strengthens, and adds shine using amino acids and hydrolyzed pea protein with a warm frankincense and sandalwood scent.

This cushiony volumizing shampoo creates a rich lather to remove buildup while depositing moisture and body. Formulated with 11 amino acids and hydrolyzed pea protein, it aims to smooth cuticles and improve hair texture without silicones, SLS/SLES, parabens, or artificial dyes and fragrances. The fragrance profile blends frankincense and sandalwood for a grounding, subtle finish that rinses clean.

How does this shampoo hydrate hair without weighing it down?

The formula uses low-molecular-weight amino acids and hydrolyzed pea protein that penetrate and condition strands rather than coating them with heavy silicones. That balance lets hair retain moisture and show more natural movement and volume.

• 11 amino acids to support surface softness and luster
• Hydrolyzed pea protein for lightweight moisture and strengthened strands
• No silicones—keeps hair buoyant
• Cushiony gel texture that rinses clean

Will this work for colored or chemically treated hair?

Because the shampoo avoids harsh sulfates, parabens, and petroleum derivatives, it’s formulated to be gentler on color-treated and chemically processed hair. It focuses on preserving hair integrity while delivering cleansing and conditioning benefits.

• Sulfate- and SLES-free to reduce aggressive color stripping
• No PEGs, TEA, DEA, or harsh detergents
• Helps maintain body and shine after treatments
• Safe for daily use for many hair routines

How will my hair feel and look after using it regularly?

• Soft, lustrous finish after rinsing
• Visible body and texture without heavy styling products
• Cleaner scalp feel thanks to a foaming, easy-rinse formula
• Designed for everyday cleansing and manageability
