Southern Natural Tea Tree Lemon Clarifying Shampoo, 16 fl oz — Sulfate & Paraben Free, Gentle Daily Cleanse

This plant-forward shampoo combines tea tree and lemon essential oils with pro-vitamin B5 and jojoba esters to give a refreshing, non-stripping cleanse for both women and men. It produces a rich lather despite being free from SLS/SLES, rinses clean, and is formulated to be safe on color-treated and highlighted hair. The formula intentionally avoids silicones, phthalates, dyes, mineral oil, and formaldehyde donors, making it a lightweight, everyday option for many hair types.

How does this shampoo remove buildup without drying my hair?

The formula uses gentle, plant-derived surfactants that break up oils and residues while leaving natural moisture intact. Emollients like glycerin and panthenol add hydration so hair doesn’t feel brittle after rinsing.

• Tea tree and lemon oils lift impurities and deliver a fresh scalp sensation.
• Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) helps retain moisture and improve texture.
• Glycerin and hydrolyzed jojoba esters add slip without heavy residue.

Will it work for both dry scalps and oily hair?

This clarifying shampoo is balanced to help control excess oil while avoiding over-drying, so it can be used by people dealing with oiliness at the roots or dryness along the lengths. Regular use refreshes the scalp and reduces the feel of buildup without stripping natural oils.

• Gently removes excess sebum for a cleaner scalp.
• Moisturizing ingredients help protect dry ends from feeling rough.
• Suitable for daily use when you need frequent cleansing, such as after workouts.

Is this safe for color-treated and sensitive scalps?

Yes — the shampoo avoids harsh sulfates and many common irritants, making it gentler on color and sensitive skin compared with conventional SLS formulas. It still provides effective cleansing while preserving vibrancy and reducing unnecessary chemical exposure.

• No SLS/SLES, parabens, silicones, phthalates, dyes, mineral oil, or formaldehyde donors.
• Formulated to clean without stripping color or adding heavy buildup.
• Tea tree and lemon offer a crisp scent but are blended to feel refreshing rather than irritating.

How do I get the best results from this shampoo?

Use on wet hair, massage into the scalp to create a lather, and rinse thoroughly; repeat if you’ve used heavy styling products. Follow with your preferred conditioner, focusing on mid-lengths and ends to maintain softness and manageability.

• Apply to wet hair and concentrate massage on the scalp for 30–60 seconds.
• Rinse fully to avoid product residue and repeat if needed for very oily hair.
• Pair with a lightweight conditioner for balanced hydration and detangling.
