Our Take

A clarifying shampoo for when your co-wash isn't cutting through product or hard water buildup. Removes impurities while retaining moisture — gentler than a standard clarifier but stronger than the Co-Wash. Contains sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, a mild surfactant that some strict CGM followers flag (it is technically a surfactant), but it is widely considered CGM-compatible. Use when your hair feels weighed down or you've been using heavy stylers. Not for daily use — once every 1–2 weeks is typically sufficient.

How to Use

Wet hair thoroughly. Apply, massage from roots to ends, and leave for 2–3 minutes before rinsing. Use when your co-wash isn't cutting through buildup — typically every 2–4 weeks depending on how many styling products you use. Heavier product users and those in hard-water areas may need this more frequently.
