Beauty Bible Loves... Odylique Prebiotic Gentle Herb Shampoo
We’ve been fans of Gentle Herb Shampoo – a real technological breakthrough, in its time – since first sudsing, 20 years ago.
In organic formulation circles, creating a natural and organic shampoo had always been ‘the ultimate challenge’ – but the founders of Odylique (which was then still known as Essential Care), Abi Weeds and her mother Margaret Weeds, rose to that.
Just brilliant for anyone with a sensitive scalp, this 100% natural, COSMOS-certified shampoo works just as effectively as any we’ve tried – without resorting to sulphates, which can upset the scalp’s biome. (It still foams really well, though, and leaves you feeling that hair and scalp are properly cleansed.) It’s pH balanced, at 5.5, is fragrance-free – and there’s no wheat, dairy, soy or more commonly allergenic nut oils, either.
But if it ain’t broke, why fix it?, we hear you asking. Why a new formula? Well, the clue’s in the name: Odylique Prebiotic Gentle Herb Shampoo features the specifically scalp-soothing and conditioning benefits of prebiotic chicory extract, along with aloe vera, nettle and horsetail (both rich in silica, for strengthening).
Great for kids, great for touchy scalps, great for anyone who wants to tread a little more lightly on the planet with their beauty regime, because it’s packaged in a locally-made, recycled and recyclable bottle.
From £2.50 for 20ml* to £24 for 500ml – buy here
* We like that you can buy a travel size, which also works as an introductory size, enabling you to check if you like it… And then, we’ve a hunch you’ll jump straight to the half-litre!
