Description
Our Sulfate‑Free Shine Enhancing Shampoo is a gentle yet effective cleanser designed for all hair types, especially those needing a non‑drying shampoo for color‑treated, dry, or sensitive scalps. It cleans thoroughly without stripping away precious moisture or fading your color, thanks to a mild, coconut and sugar based lathering agents that replace harsh sulfates. Formulated with clean ingredients and with a balanced pH of 5.42 — ideal for smoothing the cuticle and supporting scalp health — this shampoo creates a soft, moisturizing foam that reaches the roots for a deep clean without irritation or over‑drying.
New upgraded formula - more cleaning power and better cleansing value with modern, clean ingredients added to the same base formula you love!
We are excited to announce we have upgraded our shampoo to a more modern, thoroughly cleansing formula with new protective ingredients. Since the original launch in 2011, better ‘clean’ ingredients have become available, and we’ve taken advantage of these new developments to modernize and upgrade your shampooing experience. Using the same great base formula you know and love, we’ve added two additional ingredients that score a very clean safety profile (and they are not sulfates), at just the right ratios for beautiful, shiny, clean healthy hair and a balanced, happy scalp. These new ingredients offer two things our previous formula did not, while keeping the same shine-enhancing, scalp-nourishing, non-stripping qualities of our original formula to offer an overall better performance for your scalp and hair cleansing routine. They are:
- A dense and lasting lather. Even when your hair is extra dirty, this reduces the chances you have to do the dreaded “double shampoo” or use excessive amounts of product, just to make your hair and scalp feel clean and rejuvenated. This is one of the downsides of many sulfate-free shampoo formulas, but the gentle and protective ingredient addition of cocomidopropyl betaine - derived from coconut oil - helps build that lasting foam that delivers a rich shampooing experience while protecting the delicate scalp microbiome and protective outer layer of each hair strand.
- Another coconut and sugar derived ingredient, Coco Glucoside, has been added as a complementary cleansing agent to our previous single primary agent Decyl Glucoside. Coco Glucoside helps to smooth the hair’s outer layer, complimenting the other smoothing ingredients of Apple Cider Vinegar and citrus essential oils and priming your hair for conditioner better. It helps the cuticle lie flat so you have a more frizz-free outcome after every shower. It is also gentle on the scalp and conducive to a healthy scalp microbiome.
To boost shine and support scalp clarity, we use natural astringents and shine‑enhancing essential oils like sweet orange and red grapefruit. These oils give the shampoo its signature bright citrus scent while helping hair look fresh, lively, and naturally glossy. A touch of organic apple cider vinegar provides gentle astringency and helps break down excess sebum, buildup, and pore‑clogging debris on the scalp — perfect for anyone looking for a clean shampoo that removes buildup without stripping. Available in both an 8 oz squeezable bottle and a larger 16 oz size.
With continued use, this shampoo delivers progressively better results. It helps remove dulling deposits, smooths the hair shaft, and creates a flatter, more reflective surface so hair looks softer, shinier, and full of life. Organic apple cider vinegar (ACV) supports scalp balance, while rosemary essential oil — known for promoting hair growth and reducing fungus‑related scalp issues — works alongside cedarwood, clary sage, sweet orange, and grapefruit essential oils to keep the scalp clear and healthy.
These essential oils don’t just enhance shine — they help address the underlying causes of dandruff, itchiness, and scalp irritation by reducing fungal overgrowth and buildup. The result is a clean, non‑toxic shampoo for scalp health and shine, formulated without artificial fragrances, sulfates, or harsh chemicals. The more you use it, the more you’ll see how closely healthy hair and a healthy scalp are connected.

More about this product:
Works great when followed up with Aura Sensory® Deep Hydration Conditioner. These two products together address a myriad of common issues that lead to one too many "bad hair days". Best of all, you can use them feeling comfortable with the ingredients since we use the cleanest possible ingredients while also delivering beautiful, real-world results without the salon price tag, but also without the plethora of questionable ingredients. Sometimes simple really is better.
Excellent for porous, highlighted or processed, dry or damaged hair to restore shine, bounce and manageability. Organic coconut oil is a superior "pre-treatment" to conditioning as it helps seal and protect the cuticle and prevent swelling, which can promote damage, and also promotes frizz. Taking care of the cuticle, which is the outermost protective layer of each hair strand, is extremely important for hair growth also as it protects from breakage and keeps hair healthier. Recent research has also shown that coconut oil helps prevent protein loss in both damaged and undamaged hair.
