Firsthand Supply Hydrating Hair Shampoo - Clean & Non-toxic Hair Care Ingredients - Softness, Shine, and Moisture - No Parabens or Sulfates - 10.1oz (300ml)

Our hydrating shampoo balance of soaps is sufficient to gently remove dirt and soil but not so strong to remove excess oil from the hair. This is the first of three key steps towards making a hydrating shampoo.

The second step is to add natural oils and fatty compounds back to the hair & scalp. We’ve chosen light oils which absorb quickly and mimic the molecular structure of hair sebum.

The third step is to add actual moisturizing ingredients to the shampoo, called “humectants”, which help to draw moisture to the hair and scalp. One of the humectants is hydroxypropyltrimonium honey, (also known as HoneyQuat). It is chemically modified honey with a positive charge. Not only does this remove the thickness of the material, but the positive charge is attracted to the negative electric charges in our hair strands. This makes the HoneyQuat material difficult to wash off, so it stays as a microscopic layer on the hair and scalp, pulling in water over the course of the day.

Another humectant is pro-Vitamin B5, which easily penetrates into hair & skin and brings softness, shine and moisture.

Another humectant is the saccharide isomerate, a form of plant sugar. It forms an invisible layer to the hair and skin that lasts up to 72 hours, dragging moisture into the hair and skin.

These steps, along with the addition of sodium L-pyroglutamate (sodium PCA), a natural amino acid, make our hydrating shampoo a top performer.
