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.
Pros and cons

Performance notes
Cleansing relies on mild surfactants plus salicylic acid, which helps loosen residue at the scalp without sulfates. Clearing buildup lets roots lift, which is where the fuller look comes from.
