Why this exists
Coloured hair carries a structural vulnerability that uncoloured hair does not : the process of depositing or removing pigment alters the cortex and cuticle, making moisture loss and surface roughness more likely between washes. A colour-care shampoo that only focuses on cleansing, or that compensates with a heavy coating of conditioning agents, can miss the point. This formula is built differently, using betaine and hydrolyzed wheat protein within the wash step itself to support the hair fibre as it is cleaned, while aloe juice helps keep the lathering and rinsing experience comfortable. The cleansing base is designed to be effective yet gentle, with pH-adjusting acids to help keep the cuticle lying flat for a smoother finish and better light reflection. The result is a more honest cleansing ritual for colour-treated hair, with less residue and less need for overcorrection after the wash.
Inside the formula
The key actives
02
Betaine
Betaine
A naturally derived osmolyte that conditions the hair fibre during washing and helps it feel less stressed after rinsing.
03
Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein
Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein
Binds temporarily to the hair shaft to help smooth surface irregularities and support a fuller, more even feel.
On the hair and scalp
The lather is soft and even rather than airy or aggressive. It rinses cleanly, with no heavy coating left behind. Hair feels smooth, fresh, and full-bodied once dry.
The application
How to use this
-
1
Wet hair thoroughly
Apply to fully wet hair and scalp so the cleanser can distribute evenly. A generous amount helps create a stable lather from root to tip.
-
2
Massage and cleanse
Work the shampoo through the scalp and lengths with your fingertips. Let the foam do the cleansing rather than rubbing the hair harshly.
-
3
Rinse completely
Rinse until the water runs clear and the hair feels clean but not stripped. Follow with conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends.
What to expect
On the hair, over time
Day 1
Hair rinses clean and feels smoother straight after washing. The citrus scent stays fresh on dry hair without feeling heavy.
Week 1
Colour can look fresher and less dulled, especially at the roots and mid-lengths. Detangling after washing may feel easier.
Week 4
Surface texture feels more consistent and gloss may be more noticeable. Colour-treated ends can seem less brittle between washes.
The deeper detail
The formulation, the provenance, the standard
Formulation
The cleansing base is built around Sodium Coco-Sulfate and Coco-Glucoside, a combination that produces effective foam and rinse-through without the harshness of more aggressive sulphate systems. Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, certified from organic farming, replaces a portion of the aqueous phase, giving the formula an immediately soothing base; its polysaccharide content helps maintain surface moisture through the lathering and rinsing process. Betaine, the star active here, is a naturally derived osmolyte that conditions and strengthens the hair fibre during the wash step itself, not after.
Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein binds temporarily to sites of surface damage along the hair shaft, filling micro-cracks in the cuticle that cause colour to fade faster and hair to feel coarse. Brassicyl Isoleucinate Esylate provides additional gentle conditioning without silicone residue. The fragrance is composed entirely of certified natural essential oils : bergamot peel, bitter orange peel, lemon peel, and their principal aromatic components, producing the fresh, peachy-citrus character without synthetic fragrance compounds.
Lactic Acid and Citric Acid maintain the pH at a level that keeps the cuticle closed and flat during rinsing, which is directly responsible for the post-wash gloss and smoothness.

love the peachy scent
The peach and grapefruit smell is gorgeous and stays fresh. Lather is soft, rinses clean without that coated feeling some colour shampoos leave. My ends felt smoother after drying and my colour hasn't faded as fast. Really happy with this one tbh.

Used on my copper colour and it's kept it looking fresh at the roots. Hair feels less brittle too.
