Key Features & Benefits

• Strengthening & damage-repair support: The Jamaican black castor oil helps strengthen hair from root to tip and reduce breakage, especially useful for hair that’s been through chemical or heat processes. 
• Clarifying yet gentle cleanse: This shampoo is marked “sulfate-free” (and silicone/paraben/phthalate-free) and is designed to remove buildup without overly stripping the hair. 
• Moisture + nourishment: With fair-trade shea butter + other oils and hydrolyzed proteins, it helps replenish moisture and improve manageability of textured or damaged hair. 
• Scalp invigorating effect: Includes peppermint oil (and possibly apple cider vinegar in some formula references) which gives a tingling sensation and helps refresh the scalp. 
• Ethical/clean formula credentials: Brand claims “no silicones, no sulfates, no parabens, no phthalates, no mineral oil, no petrolatum” and cruelty-free.
