Editor's Take

Clean shampoo shoppers get the good stuff here, Coco-Glucoside mildness and Olivem 1000 feel, but not salon-grade foam or repair.

Four-pillar formula scores

  • Performance: 6.8 / 10
  • Innovative Ingredients: 5.2 / 10
  • Clean Standards: 10.0 / 10
  • Formula Sustainability: 9.1 / 10

The Verdict

The clean score is a perfect 10, and sustainability lands in the above the middle band, so the ingredient philosophy is the strongest part of the bottle. Coco-Glucoside gives a mild, sulfate-free cleanse, while Olivem 1000 adds a more cushioned feel than most bare-bones natural shampoos. Efficacy sits at 6.8 because this is better at gentle daily washing than heavy buildup removal, dense foam, or true strand repair. Worth it as a low-residue, clean-leaning daily shampoo, not as a treatment pretending to fix damaged hair.
