How it works

The Gentle Conditioning Shampoo uses Decyl Glucoside and Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate as mild surfactants to gently cleanse the hair without stripping it of natural oils. Cocamidopropyl Betaine enhances foam, creating a pleasant washing experience. Glycerin acts as a humectant, helping retain moisture in the hair. Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride provides conditioning benefits, making hair easier to manage. Cetearyl Alcohol and Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil work as emollients, promoting softness and smoothness. Tocopherol, a form of Vitamin E, contributes antioxidant properties. Together, these ingredients form a formulation intended to clean, condition, and support the protective barrier of the hair while being gentle enough for sensitive or treated hair.
