CLEANSE + HYDRATE
Shampoo Balm
A rich, creamy balm that transforms into a detangling foam the moment it meets water. Scoop less for a gentle, hydrating wash between styles, or more for a thorough clarifying cleanse when your hair needs a fresh start.
Thick and solid in the jar, this innovative formula gently lifts buildup from roots to ends while moisturising the hair and scalp, so hair feels clean and conditioned, never stripped. Made for curls, coils and waves, and colour-safe.

The Scent
No parfum. Scented with lemongrass, grapefruit and lemon peel oils for a fresh, uplifting wash.
Gentle to clarifying
You control the clean.
• Use more for a clarifying wash: after a week of styling products, gym days or swimming
• Use less for a gentle, co-wash feel: mid-week refreshes or drier, more delicate curls
A little goes a long way. Start with a fingertip scoop and build up.
How to best use
• Wet hair thoroughly, the balm needs water to come to life
• Scoop a two-fingertip amount (less for a gentle clean, more to clarify)
• Rub between wet palms to activate into a foam
• Massage into the scalp
• Work the foam through your lengths with your fingers to detangle
• Rinse thoroughly, repeat if needed
• Follow with your Curl Activator routine
+ Tip: scoop with clean, dry fingers and keep water out of the jar between uses.

The format
Not a liquid. Not a bar.
Something better.
In between.
Liquids are easy to over-pour. Bars can be hard to work through thick, textured hair. The Shampoo Balm is a dense, waxy balm you scoop from the jar, and the moment it meets water it opens into a creamy, detangling lather.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a shampoo balm different from a shampoo bar?
A bar is hard and pressed. The balm is soft and scoopable, so it spreads easily through thick, textured hair and you control exactly how much you use.
Can I use it as a co-wash?
Yes. Use a small amount for a gentle, co-wash style clean.
Can I use it to clarify?
Yes. Use a little more for a deeper, clarifying cleanse that lifts buildup.
Is it safe for coloured hair?
Yes. It’s colour-safe and formulated with phytantriol, which helps protect against colour fading.
Does it contain sulphates or fragrance?
No sulphates, no parfum and no artificial colours. The fresh scent comes from lemongrass, grapefruit and lemon peel oils.
If it’s sulphate-free, does it actually clean?
Yes. Instead of sulphates, it uses coconut-derived cleansers, mainly sodium cocoyl isethionate. They lift oil, product and dirt from your scalp and hair so they rinse away, and they’re what create the rich, creamy foam.
Do I still need conditioner?
It cleanses and moisturises at the same time. For best results, follow with the Curl Activator to define and hydrate.
How do I keep the balm at its best?
Scoop with clean, dry fingers and keep water out of the jar between uses. Use within 12 months of opening.
