Clean Deep Dive: Detox Kit (shampoo + conditioner)

A detox kit for normal to oily hair, designed to deeply cleanse without drying out—while helping your hair stay fresh for longer.

Why it exists:
When the scalp becomes unbalanced (e.g. product buildup + excess oil), hair can feel heavy shortly after washing. The Detox Kit is formulated to remove oil, impurities, and buildup while maintaining a healthy moisture balance.

“But what does detox actually mean here?”

Think of “detox” as smart cleansing:

• The shampoo uses multiple mild surfactants that work together to effectively remove dirt and oil.
• At the same time, hydrating and conditioning ingredients ensure it doesn’t feel like a “harsh” shampoo.

The result: a clean scalp, lighter hair, and natural shine.

Key Ingredients

1) Quinoa Extract (Hydrolyzed Quinoa)

“Hydrolyzed” means the protein is broken down into smaller parts that can more easily attach to the hair strand.
Helps strengthen the hair and support color-treated hair.

2) Rice Protein (Hydrolyzed Rice Protein)

Often used to add volume and shine without making the hair feel heavy.

3) Argan Oil (Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil)

A classic for softness and shine, especially in conditioner where it smooths the hair after cleansing.

4) Milk Thistle (Silybum Marianum Callus Extract)

An antioxidant-rich extract—think protection + care. Helps support a healthier feeling in both hair and scalp.

5) Coconut (coconut-based surfactants)

The key here: effective yet gentle cleansing, chosen as an alternative to SLS/SLES.

Understanding the ingredients – by function

Instead of reading one long INCI list, think of it as a system where each ingredient has a role:

A) Cleansers (the shampoo) – what cleans

Examples:

• Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate
  Why multiple? To achieve effective cleansing without relying on one harsh ingredient.

B) Hydration & comfort – what prevents dryness

• Glycerin, Sodium PCA, (and Lactic Acid which helps balance the feel)
  This is often the difference between “clean but dry” and “clean and soft”.

C) Strength & finish – what improves hair feel

• Hydrolyzed Quinoa, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein
  Adds body, shine, and a healthier overall look.

D) Softening agents & oils – what creates the conditioner effect

In the conditioner, you’ll find:

• Cetearyl Alcohol (a fatty alcohol that softens—not the drying kind)
• Argan Oil, Shea Butter, Abyssinian Oil/esters
  This is what gives you smooth, soft, tangle-free hair.

E) Stability & preservation – what keeps the product fresh

• Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Levulinate, Sodium Anisate, etc.
  These form the preservation system (standard and essential in water-based formulas).

F) Fragrance & experience

• Fragrance + Menthol (with notes of cucumber and mint)
  Menthol provides a fresh, cooling sensation—something to be aware of if you have a very sensitive scalp.

Who is Detox Kit for?

• Oily hair / unbalanced scalp / buildup / normal hair
  Also suitable for color-treated hair, and free from silicones and SLS/SLES.

How to get the detox effect - without overdoing it

A simple routine:

1. Shampoo twice (the first removes surface buildup, the second cleans more thoroughly)
2. Let the second wash sit for 30–60 seconds before rinsing
3. Apply conditioner mainly to the lengths, and lightly near the scalp if needed
