We used to call this product "Raindrop" Shampoo because it contains MSM, a hair-softening organic sulfur compound found in rainwater. MSM is known as a "miracle hair enhancer," so we had to include it in our Shampoo.
We've expanded our hair ingredient repertoire to take advantage of the wonderful new generation of plant-derived, gentle surfactants available today. Thankfully, increased consumer awareness has driven the demand for much safer ingredients that are also eco-friendly. This means we can have the best of both worlds: safer + high performing. Ingredients that are:
* Gentle / Non-Stripping
* Effective
* Biodegradable
* Safe for commercially color-treated hair
* Plastic free
* pH appropriate
* Easy to use
* Free of sulfates, SLS, and other harsh surfactants, silicones, parabens, and endocrine disruptors found in artificial fragrances.
* Bonus -- this bar acts also as a body wash and body shaving bar! Talk about saving space when packing for travel.
Ever notice how soft your hair feels after it dries from being in the rain? MSM is an ingredient we love for skin and scalp hydration and repair, which promotes healthy hair growth. It can also be found in our Hydrate Toning Mist.
MSM Shampoo pairs perfectly with our Hyaluronic Conditioner. Using a vinegar rinse is unnecessary with this type of Shampoo since the pH is already hair-appropriate. Give them a try! They come in Unscented, Violet Unscented (for gray or blonde hair), or essential oil scents, including Floral, Citrus, and Shrub (our popular Rosemary-Cedarwood scent).
MSM Shampoo is conditioning; however, the percentage of surfactants and essential oils used for each scent lends them to differing hair types. We recommend trying our clarifying Tallow Shampoo Soaps if you have chronically oily hair.
Important - Keep on a well-draining soap lift between uses for the longest life of your Shampoo Bar! You may need to remove it from the shower to completely dry it between uses.
Directions: Cleansing hair with this type of product is super easy. Wet your hair, wet the bar, and rub directly onto your hair, creating a luscious lather. Work lather into your scalp with your fingertips. Rinse. Repeat. Follow with one of our Hyaluronic Conditioners.
If you are new to silicone-free Shampoo, you may experience a transition period, including a waxy feeling, itchy scalp, extra oiliness, etc. Most people easily transition with this shampoo, even in hard water. Try our Pit & Scalp Mask for dandruff or to speed up the detox period from a lifelong use of commercial hair products.
