Root to tip moisture stays noticeable
Why this exists
Most shampoos remove the dirt and oil the hair needs to stay comfortable, then leave the strand feeling tighter and drier than before washing. This formula is built to answer that problem at the cleansing step itself, rather than trying to patch it afterwards. Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice forms the base, bringing a cushioned, soothing wash experience, while Sodium PCA provides the primary humectant action so moisture is perceptible during and after rinsing. A honey based complex adds further water binding support, and the mild surfactant system is designed to cleanse thoroughly without the harsh after-feel that can strip the hair's surface. The result is a shampoo that approaches cleansing as part of the moisture ritual, not a separate, drying interruption.
Inside the formula
The key actives
02
Sodium PCA
Sodium PCA
Acts as the primary humectant, drawing and holding water at the hair surface for a softer feel after drying.
03
Honey Complex
Honey · Fructose · Glucose · Inositol · Sucrose · Trehalose
Provides a biomimetic moisture-holding system that supports hydration through the wash and after the rinse.
04
Ginkgo Biloba Extract
Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract
Adds botanical support within the formula for a more considered scalp and hair wash experience.
05
Burdock Root Extract
Arctium Lappa Root Extract
Rounds out the botanical complex with gentle hair-supporting and scalp-supporting properties.
On the hair and scalp
The lather is gentle and cushioned rather than foamy and harsh. It rinses cleanly without leaving the hair squeaky or tight. Once dry, the hair feels smooth, soft, and comfortably moisturised.
The application
How to use this
-
1
Wet hair thoroughly
Apply to thoroughly wet hair and scalp. This helps the shampoo spread evenly and allows the cleansing system to work with less friction.
-
2
Massage from root to tip
Work through the scalp, then draw the lather through the lengths. Massage gently until the hair feels clean and cushioned.
-
3
Rinse clean
Rinse well so the hair is left fresh and soft rather than coated. Repeat if your hair or scalp needs a second cleanse.
What to expect
On the hair, over time
Day 1
Hair rinses soft and smooth, without the squeaky or dry quality that can come from over-stripping. The scalp feels comfortable immediately after washing.
Week 1
The hair tends to hold moisture visibly longer between washes. Mid-lengths and ends may feel softer by the second day after washing.
Week 4
Surface smoothness and gloss feel more consistent with regular use. The overall moisture baseline of the hair should feel higher.
The deeper detail
The formulation, the provenance, the standard
Formulation
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice forms the continuous phase of this formula, replacing what would otherwise be plain water with a polysaccharide and amino acid-rich base that is immediately soothing on the scalp and softening on the strand. Lauryl Glucoside and Sodium Coco-Sulfate form the mild surfactant system, supplemented by Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate and Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate for a gentle, thorough cleanse without the surfactant harshness that causes post-wash tightness. Coco-Glucoside provides additional foam and mild conditioning.
Sodium PCA, a naturally occurring skin-identical humectant, is present as the primary moisture-attracting active : it draws water from the environment and holds it at the surface of the hair strand, contributing to the softness that is perceptible immediately after drying. The honey-derived complex, comprising Honey, Fructose, Glucose, Inositol, Sucrose, and Trehalose, is a complete biomimetic humectant system that mirrors the moisture-holding activity of the scalp's own natural moisturising factor. Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract and Arctium Lappa (Burdock) Root Extract contribute mild scalp-supporting and hair-strengthening properties that accumulate with regular use.

soft and clean but bottle is small
My fine hair usually goes flat but this gave me a thorough clean without that tight scalp feeling. Hair dried softer and glossier. Only thing is the 290ml bottle feels a bit stingy for the price, even though the shampoo itself is very good.
