Our Take
A sulphate-free shampoo that cleanses and detangles without stripping the scalp's natural moisture. Formulated with Jamaican Black Castor Oil, Ceramide NG, Ascorbic Acid, and Tocopherol using sub-micron technology for deeper ingredient penetration. Contains 1% Zinc Pyrithione — a medicated anti-dandruff active — which makes this cgm_modified rather than fully CGM-approved. If you don't need the dandruff-fighting actives, the JBCO Co-Wash may be a better fit for everyday cleansing. Protein-free. Leaves hair cleaner and more manageable than most medicated shampoos.
