Living Proof Clarifying Detox Shampoo
by Living Proof · hair_care
Editor's Take
Most clarifying shampoos stop at grease; this one tackles hard-water minerals too, though its clean-beauty credentials lag well behind the cleansing technology.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Efficacy: 8.2 / 10
- Modern Tech: 7.8 / 10
- Clean Beauty: 5.9 / 10
- Sustainability: 7.9 / 10
The Verdict
Efficacy is Exceptional: Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate cleans deeply, while Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate targets mineral and product buildup. Technology is Modern, and the soothing avenanthramide mimetic gives occasional deep cleansing a more considered finish. Clean is Compromised by fragrance, ethoxylated ingredients, and synthetic polymers. A credible clarifier for hard-water buildup, not a purity-first shampoo.
