Sustainable Packaging
Bottle
Label
Cap
Fully recyclable and made of 100% recycled ocean bound plastic collected by the Prevented Ocean Plastic™ programme. They work with bottle collectors in areas where the coastline is at risk of ocean plastic pollution, to give waste a value and create economic benefits for individuals and local communities.
Easily recyclable with the bottle without needing to peel it off first. It's upcycled from 99% bio-based byproducts that would otherwise go to waste, such as used cooking oil. The production process of this material uses 85% less energy than traditional labels and 9% less CO2.
Unfortunately, our caps are not that special. Our suppliers are working on making them with ocean bound plastic as well, but the technology is not quite there yet, so we had a little setback. For now, they are made with virgin PP plastic, but they are still fully recyclable. Watch this space!

FAQs
Is this safe for colour-treated hair?
Yes, this shampoo contains very gentle cleansers and has a low pH, so it's safe to use on colour-treated hair.
How often should I use this shampoo?
It can depend on many variables - particularly your scalp type and lifestyle. We have designed this formula to be as gentle as possible, so you could even use it daily if necessary. Do not wait more than 7-10 days between one shampoo and the other - your scalp needs regular cleansing!
Can I just use the conditioner without the shampoo?
Short answer: no. Shampooing your hair is CRUCIAL for its long-term wellbeing. Ignore what social media trends are telling you, and make sure you're washing your hair regularly!
Why is the shampoo not foaming?
If you find your shampoo isn't foaming a lot, it might be due to product buildup on your scalp. Shampoo twice to make sure you remove all the debris - the second time around you'll see a lot more foam!
Can I double cleanse with this?
Of course! Double cleansing is a great technique to make sure you're removing all dirt and buildup from your scalp.
Is this a clarifying shampoo?
No. This is a moisturising, all-purpose shampoo. We still recommend clarifying your scalp every 4-5 washes to really make sure you get rid of all buildup.
Is it Curly Girl Friendly?
Yes, all our products can be used if you follow the Curly Girl Method.
Does it contain Sulfates, Silicones or Parabens?
No, this product doesn't contain any sulfates, silicones or parabens.
What is the pH of this shampoo?
Our Gentle Shampoo has a pH range of 4.5-5.3
