Handcrafted Omega Shampoo

Developed for men's hair, this handcrafted liquid shampoo uses castile soap and decyl glucoside, a mild foaming cleanser used for gentle grease removal, to wash the hair.

Glycerin is commonly used for sustained hydration, and jojoba oil for lightweight hydration. Aloe leaf juice, the one organic-labeled ingredient, is regularly used for hydration support. The fragrance carries bergamot, lemon, cardamom, grapefruit, lavender, lime, jasmine, rose, coconut, black pepper, cinnamon, cypress, tonka bean, cedarwood, musk, sandalwood, vanilla, and amber as scent notes.

Hair care engages touch at every step, and the step depends on the product. Cleansing products lift buildup and surface bacteria from the hair and scalp (Bloomfield et al., 2007). Conditioning products add oils and lipids that smooth the hair surface and reduce fiber friction (Robbins, 2012). Styling and leave-in products add glide through the same surface smoothing, which lowers mechanical stress on the fibers during combing and styling (Robbins, 2012; Rele & Mohile, 2003). At any step, massage-like pressure on the scalp activates the touch receptors around the hair follicles (McGlone et al., 2014) and is associated with reduced stress and relaxation (Field, 2010).

Anyone with a skin condition, allergies, or sensitivities should consult a physician or dermatologist before use.
