Our Take
The cleansing step in the Rosemary Mint range, notable among protein-free sulphate-free shampoos for its genuine detangling slip — a quality that's particularly useful for curlies whose hair tangles heavily during the washing process and who find that most shampoos increase rather than reduce knots. Formulated with rosemary, peppermint, coconut oil, and biotin for scalp stimulation and strengthening. Particularly well-suited to fine, brittle, or breakage-prone hair. Because it's protein-free, all the strengthening benefit comes from the biotin and botanical oils rather than protein polymers — useful to know if you're managing protein sensitivity in your routine.
