Our verdict

Overview

Adults seeing thinner, duller or greying hair get a detox shampoo that clears impurities and buildup from scalp and strands. Niacinamide in the Nutractive+ Complex supports the scalp, while salicylic acid helps lift residue.

A clean scalp without harsh sulfates is the reason to choose it, gentle enough for daily washing and safe on color. The fuller and shinier promise comes with a footnote comparing it only to a non-conditioning shampoo.

Who it's for

People whose hair is losing body with age and who want a gentle daily cleanse get a sulfate free detox formula. Those seeking a medical hair loss solution should look to a dedicated treatment.

Performance notes
