Live Clean Clarifying Shampoo — Apple Cider Vinegar Detox, 12 oz | Vegan, Sulfate-Free Clarifier

This lightweight detox shampoo blends apple cider vinegar with plant-derived ingredients to clarify without stripping natural moisture. Formulated to be 98% plant-based and free from parabens, sulfates and dyes, it offers a weekly deep cleanse or everyday use for oil-prone scalps while remaining cruelty-free. The formula also includes sunflower seed oil and organic chamomile extract to help soothe and maintain hair softness after cleansing.

How does this shampoo remove buildup without drying hair out?

The apple cider vinegar component helps lift residue from styling products and environmental pollutants while the gentle surfactants are chosen to avoid harsh stripping. Sunflower seed oil and chamomile extract help restore manageability and shine so hair feels clean but not brittle.

• Apple cider vinegar aids in dissolving mineral and styling residue.
• Gentle, plant-derived cleansing agents reduce over-drying.
• Sunflower seed oil adds lightweight conditioning during rinse.
• Organic chamomile helps maintain softness and calm the scalp.

When should I use it: daily clarifier or weekly detox?

Use it daily if you have oily hair that gets greasy quickly, or as a weekly detox if you rely on many styling products or live in a hard-water area. It’s formulated to be mild enough for frequent use but effective enough for deeper clarifying sessions when product buildup is apparent.

• Daily: ideal for oily scalps and frequent sweating.
• Weekly: recommended for heavy product users or swimmers.
• Use 1–2 pumps for short hair; more for longer or thicker hair.
• Follow with conditioner if hair feels tight after rinsing.

Is this formula safe for color-treated or sensitive scalps?

Live Clean’s formula avoids sulfates, parabens and dyes, which helps reduce the risk of unnecessary fading and irritation. While it’s gentler than many clarifying shampoos, color-treated hair can vary—test on a small section if concerned, and use as a targeted clarifying step rather than daily if you want to preserve color vibrancy.

• Sulfate- and paraben-free to be kinder to color and scalp skin.
• Hypo-allergenic formulation minimizes common irritants.
• Recommended: spot-test for freshly colored hair.
• Follow with a color-safe conditioner for extra protection.

What environmental and ethical standards does Live Clean follow?

The brand emphasizes plant-based performance with a cruelty-free stance; this shampoo is recognized by Leaping Bunny standards and crafted from mostly plant-derived ingredients. It aligns with shoppers seeking cleaner beauty options that avoid harsh chemicals and animal testing.

• 98% plant-based ingredients in a vegan formulation.
• No animal testing; Leaping Bunny recognized.
• Free from parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate and synthetic dyes.
• Packaging sized at 12 oz for regular at-home use.

Who is this for: Live Clean Apple Cider Detox Shampoo fits people who want a plant-forward clarifying option—those with oily scalps, individuals who use styling products regularly, swimmers, or anyone seeking an occasional deep clean without harsh sulfates. It’s also a good match for shoppers prioritizing cruelty-free, vegan, and gentler ingredient lists in everyday haircare.
