Collection: Hair Cleansing & Purifying

A curated organic selection focused on one goal: a clean, balanced scalp and light, healthy hair — from root to tip. This collection brings together certified organic and natural formulas designed to cleanse the scalp, remove product buildup, rebalance sebum production, and support a healthy hair cleansing routine. Essential oils, hydrolats, vegetable oils, solid soaps, dedicated shampoos, and complementary scalp-care ingredients — all plant-based, all free from unnecessary synthetic additives.

All are zero-waste, plastic-free, and produced without synthetic preservatives.

Complementary scalp-care ingredients — Tulsi Plant Extract (known in Ayurvedic tradition for scalp and hair care), St. John's Wort Oil Macerate (for scalp-calming applications when diluted), and Cleansing Gels (Neutral and Calendula & Honey for gentle scalp and baby hair washing) complete the collection with targeted, complementary options.

All products in this collection are certified organic, natural, or plant-based. They are cosmetic and personal care formulations — not medicines, and not treatments for scalp conditions. For persistent scalp concerns, consult a healthcare professional.

This collection is for anyone looking to cleanse and care for their hair and scalp using certified organic, plant-based formulas — free from sulfates, silicones, synthetic fragrances, and harsh preservatives. It brings together organic liquid shampoos, solid shampoo bars, scalp-care hydrolats, vegetable oils, and essential oils suited to a complete hair cleansing ritual. These are cosmetic hair care products. They are not medicines and do not treat medical scalp conditions.

Those with oily hair or an oily scalp — people whose scalp produces excess sebum, leading to lank, heavy, or greasy hair between washes. The collection includes the organic Spearmint Shampoo (Beauthentique, Allier), formulated for oily hair and high hair volume, as well as the organic Mint solid soap and Mint shower gel — both suited for hair and scalp use. For a DIY approach, organic rosemary cineole, rosemary camphor, peppermint, spearmint, cornmint, lemon, and tea tree essential oils are recognized for their sebum-regulating and scalp-purifying properties. Peppermint and rosemary verbenone hydrolats make effective rinse-free scalp tonics for oily scalps.

Those seeking a gentle daily shampoo for frequent use — people who wash their hair every day or every other day and need a formula that cleanses without stripping. The organic Vitality Shampoo with Coconut & Raspberry Vinegar (Beauthentique, Allier) is designed for frequent use, detangling, and scalp care. Its apple cider vinegar base helps restore the scalp's natural pH after washing. Sulfate-free and silicone-free.

Those with a dry, irritated, or flaky scalp — people experiencing scalp tightness, dryness, or mild flaking who need a cleansing routine that soothes rather than aggravates. Fine lavender, roman chamomile, and orange blossom hydrolats are gentle alcohol-free scalp rinses with recognized soothing properties. Organic castor oil and sweet almond oil can be applied before washing as a nourishing pre-shampoo treatment. Organic Roman chamomile and true lavender essential oils are among the most skin-compatible options for sensitive scalp DIY blends.

Those with combination, damaged, or color-treated hair — people whose hair is weakened by heat styling, chemical treatments, or environmental exposure and who need a gentle cleansing approach that doesn't strip further. The Pure Lavender solid soap (combination & damaged) and the Pure Lemony solid soap (delicate hair) are specifically labelled for these hair profiles. Castor oil is classically used as a pre-shampoo treatment for damaged lengths. Palmarosa and geranium essential oils are popular in hair repair DIY blends.

Those looking for scalp-stimulating hair care — people who want to support scalp circulation as part of their hair care routine. Rosemary verbenone hydrolat is a classic scalp rinse used after shampooing. Rosemary (verbenone and camphor chemotypes), peppermint, and Atlas cedar essential oils are well-documented in aromatherapy for their use in scalp-stimulating DIY blends and rinses. St. John's Wort oil macerate and Tulsi plant extract are also included for their recognized role in hair and scalp care.

All require proper dilution in a carrier oil or unscented base before scalp application.

Effective hair cleansing starts with the right plant actives. Every product in this collection is certified organic or naturally derived — no sulphates, no synthetic surfactants, no unnecessary fillers. Here are the botanicals and minerals that make them work for the scalp and hair.

Organic Olive Oil — Olea europaea — the backbone of the cold-processed shampoo bars in this collection. Rich in oleic acid and squalene, olive oil produces a dense, conditioning lather that cleanses the scalp and hair without stripping the natural lipid barrier. Certified organic, cold-pressed. Suitable for all hair and scalp types, including sensitive and dry scalp. Sulphate-free and fragrance-free formulations available.

Montmorillonite Clay — a natural mineral clay present in the organic solid shampoo bar for oily and congested scalp. Recognised in natural cosmetics for its ability to absorb excess sebum and draw out surface impurities from the scalp and hair. One of the most effective natural purifying actives for oily, combination, and buildup-prone scalp — leaves hair feeling lighter and visibly cleaner after washing.

Raspberry Vinegar — cold-pressed certified organic raspberry vinegar, present in the Vitality Shampoo. Used in natural hair care as a pH-balancing active that helps smooth the hair cuticle, reduce frizz, boost shine, and support scalp balance after cleansing. A traditional natural hair rinse reformulated into a modern organic shampoo base.

Spearmint — Mentha spicata — certified organic spearmint, active in the Refreshing Shampoo for oily hair. Spearmint provides a fresh, cooling sensation at the scalp and supports sebum regulation, making it particularly effective for oily hair types and scalps prone to excess shine. Also available as a certified organic essential oil for use in DIY shampoo and scalp rinse formulations.

Peppermint Essential Oil — Mentha x piperita — certified organic peppermint essential oil, present in the organic mint solid shampoo bar. Rich in menthol, peppermint delivers an intense cooling sensation at the scalp, supports a feeling of freshness after washing, and is widely used in natural shampoo formulations targeting oily scalp and hair volume. Must be diluted before direct scalp application. Also available as a standalone certified organic essential oil.

Cornmint Essential Oil — Mentha arvensis — certified organic cornmint essential oil — the highest natural source of menthol among the mint family. Used in natural hair care and DIY shampoo formulations for its intense cooling, refreshing, and scalp-stimulating properties. Well suited to oily and combination scalp types. Requires careful dilution — highly concentrated.

Palmarosa Essential Oil — Cymbopogon martinii — certified organic palmarosa — rich in geraniol, with recognised sebum-balancing and antimicrobial properties in cosmetic formulation. Used in DIY shampoo and scalp treatment blends for oily, combination, and scalp-prone-to-imbalance hair types. Also available as a certified organic hydrolat for use as a gentle, alcohol-free scalp rinse and toning mist after cleansing.

Rosemary Verbenone Hydrolat — Rosmarinus officinalis ct. verbenone — certified organic rosemary verbenone floral water. Used in natural hair care as a scalp-clarifying rinse after shampooing. Well established in French botanical cosmetics as a supporting active for scalp balance, particularly for scalp prone to buildup and excess sebum. Alcohol-free, pH-balanced, and ready to use directly without dilution as a final scalp rinse.

Thyme Linalool Hydrolat — Thymus vulgaris ct. linalool — certified organic thyme linalool floral water. A gentle botanical hydrolat with recognised purifying properties in natural cosmetics, used as a scalp rinse for oily and congested scalp types. One of the most scalp-compatible thyme chemotypes — suitable for regular use as an alcohol-free, pH-balanced toning rinse after shampooing.

Borneol Thyme Essential Oil — Thymus satureioides — certified organic borneol thyme (Moroccan thyme) essential oil. Used in DIY scalp treatment blends and purifying hair rinses for its recognised antimicrobial and clarifying properties. One of the most effective purifying essential oils in natural hair care formulation. Requires dilution before application to the scalp.

Argan Oil — Argania spinosa — cold-pressed certified organic argan oil. Used in natural hair care as a pre-wash oil treatment and post-shampoo finishing oil. Rich in oleic acid, linoleic acid, and vitamin E. Light-textured and non-greasy — absorbs well without weighing hair down. Present in the cleansing foam and available as a standalone certified organic vegetable oil for scalp and hair oil cleansing routines.

Jojoba Oil — Simmondsia chinensis — cold-pressed certified organic jojoba — technically a liquid wax, which makes it exceptionally stable and non-comedogenic. Used in scalp oil cleansing routines and pre-shampoo treatments for oily and combination scalp types. Rinses cleanly from hair without leaving residue. Available as a standalone certified organic vegetable oil.

Sweet Almond Oil — Prunus amygdalus dulcis — cold-pressed certified organic sweet almond oil. One of the most widely used carrier oils in natural hair care — gentle enough for daily pre-shampoo scalp massage and hair cleansing routines. Rich in oleic and linoleic acids; helps soften and condition the hair during the oil cleansing step before shampooing. Available in multiple sizes; food-grade where noted.

Everything that grows from the scalp depends on how well that scalp is cleansed and balanced. This collection brings together 121 certified organic products for hair and scalp cleansing — liquid and solid shampoos, vegetable oils, essential oils, hydrolats, plant extracts, and butters, all plant-based and natural. They are cosmetic products, not medicines, and are not intended to treat scalp conditions. For persistent concerns, consult a dermatologist or trichologist.

A clean scalp without the stripped feeling — harsh surfactants can leave the scalp tight, reactive, and overproducing sebum in response. The cold-processed solid soaps and olive-based liquid shampoos in this collection cleanse with saponified olive oil and plant-derived surfactants, removing dirt, sebum, and buildup while leaving the scalp comfortable and the hair shaft smooth. The result is a thorough wash that does not provoke the rebound oiliness that follows aggressive cleansing.

Oily scalp rebalanced, not punished — an oily scalp is not a dirty one; it is one that needs the right cleansing signal. The spearmint refreshing shampoo, the olive and montmorillonite clay shampoo bar, and the cinnamon solid soap address excess sebum and scalp congestion by drawing out oil and impurities without stripping the scalp's protective film. Montmorillonite clay is one of the most established natural absorbents for regulating scalp oiliness. Peppermint, spearmint, and cornmint essential oils — diluted in a carrier oil before application — contribute a cooling, invigorating sensation that makes the scalp feel refreshed and lighter after use.

Fragile and damaged hair cleansed without further stress — hair that is coloured, heat-treated, or naturally fine breaks more easily when washed with overpowering formulas. The pure lemony solid soap is formulated for delicate hair specifically. The pure lavender shampoo bar suits combination and damaged hair; the pure mint bar suits hair that reacts to strong fragrance and surfactants. The coconut and raspberry vinegar vitality shampoo is designed for frequent use without cumulative stress, with a vinegar rinse that smooths the hair cuticle and restores shine. Gentle cleansing lets fragile hair be washed as often as needed without accelerating breakage.

Scalp comfort for atopic and reactive profiles — a scalp prone to irritation, redness, or atopic reactions needs cleansing that does not add to the burden. The pure nettle shampoo bar is matched specifically to combination and atopic-prone scalp. Roman chamomile, fine lavender, and cornflower hydrolats — applied as an alcohol-free scalp rinse after washing — bring a calming finish to an irritated or reactive scalp. St. John's Wort oil macerate is valued in natural cosmetics for its soothing properties on sensitive skin and scalp, and can be used as a pre-shampoo treatment before washing.

Buildup cleared to let the scalp breathe — product residue, hard water minerals, and dead skin cells accumulate on the scalp over time and can make hair look dull and flat. Rosemary essential oils — available in three chemotypes (cineole, camphor, and verbenone) — are the most widely referenced plants in natural cosmetics for scalp stimulation and cleansing. Tea tree and thyme linalool hydrolats work as purifying scalp rinses between washes. Thyme thujanol and hyssop decumbens essential oils contribute additional cleansing depth when diluted into a pre-shampoo scalp treatment. The outcome is a scalp that feels clear and hair that looks lighter from root to tip.

Pre-cleanse treatments that protect while they clean — applying a vegetable oil to the scalp and lengths before shampooing creates a protective barrier that allows the shampoo to lift grime without direct contact with the hair shaft. Castor oil — offered here in two certified organic formats — is the most recognised carrier oil in natural haircare for scalp and root care. Black cumin seed oil, macadamia oil, sweet almond oil, coconut oil, sesame oil, and evening primrose oil complete the range, each with a different fatty acid profile suited to different scalp and hair types. Shea butter can be worked through the lengths before washing as a deep pre-cleanse conditioner. The pre-cleanse step makes the wash gentler and the result more nourishing.

A balanced, calm scalp after every wash — the finish of a wash matters as much as the wash itself. Rosemary verbenone, tea tree, thyme linalool, peppermint, and fine lavender hydrolats are alcohol-free and can be sprayed directly onto the scalp after shampooing as a soothing, rebalancing mist. Rose geranium and palmarosa essential oils — diluted in a carrier oil — are widely used in natural cosmetics for their balancing action on the scalp. Clary sage essential oil addresses oily scalp tendency at the hormonal regulation level, without drying. Tulsi (holy basil) plant extract brings Ayurvedic tradition to scalp-balancing and cleansing. Used consistently, these finishing steps help maintain a scalp environment where hair grows from a clean, settled base.

A complete certified organic hair cleansing routine from one source — a vegetable oil pre-treatment, a solid or liquid shampoo for the wash, an essential oil diluted into a scalp treatment, and an alcohol-free hydrolat as a finishing rinse: the full cleansing sequence can be built entirely from certified organic products within this collection, for every hair type and scalp profile. Hair Cleansing & Purifying is a subcollection of Haircare Goals; once the scalp is clean and rebalanced, the other haircare collections take the routine further.

A clean, balanced scalp is the foundation of healthy hair. The certified organic products in this collection — shampoos, shampoo bars, hydrolats, vegetable oils, and scalp-active essential oils — work together to cleanse gently, remove buildup, and restore the scalp's natural equilibrium. Here is how to use each format correctly.

Liquid shampoos: match the formula to your hair type — apply a small amount of organic shampoo to wet hair, work it into the scalp with your fingertips using gentle circular movements, and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. The Organic Refreshing Shampoo (Spearmint) is formulated for oily hair and oily scalps; it adds volume and leaves the scalp feeling clean and balanced. The Organic Vitality Shampoo (Coconut & Raspberry Vinegar) suits frequent washing, adds shine, and helps detangle — the raspberry vinegar component seals the hair cuticle and supports scalp care. Repeat only if the hair is heavily soiled; one application is usually sufficient.

Solid soap bars as shampoo bars: sustainable zero-waste cleansing — several cold-process olive oil soaps in this collection can be used on delicate or fine hair. Wet the bar and your hair thoroughly, rub the bar directly onto the scalp or lather between palms first, then massage gently and rinse with plenty of lukewarm water. A diluted apple cider vinegar or raspberry vinegar rinse (1 tablespoon per 500 ml water) helps restore the hair's natural pH and reduces any transition period. The Pure Mint bar is refreshing and suited to oily and combination scalps; Pure Lavender suits combination and damaged hair; Pure Nettle suits combination and atopic scalp; Pure Lemony is specifically formulated for delicate hair. Store the bar on a draining soap dish between uses so it dries fully.

Vegetable oils: pre-wash scalp treatment and nourishing mask — organic vegetable oils are used before shampooing, not after, for a pre-wash treatment that nourishes the scalp and fiber without weighing the hair down. Apply castor oil, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, sesame oil, macadamia oil, or evening primrose oil to the scalp and hair lengths, leave on for 20–60 minutes (or overnight under a towel), then shampoo as normal — you may need two shampoo passes to rinse fully. Castor oil is thick and best mixed with a lighter carrier such as sweet almond or sesame. Evening primrose and black cumin seed oils are particularly suited to sensitive or reactive scalps. Shea butter can be applied as a finishing touch to dry ends, not to the scalp, to smooth frizz and protect tips.

Hydrolats: scalp rinse and post-wash toning — certified organic hydrolats are gentle, alcohol-free, and ready to use without dilution. Use them as a final scalp rinse after shampooing, or mist directly onto the scalp between washes. Rosemary Verbenone hydrolat supports scalp stimulation and suits all hair types. Tea Tree and Thyme Linalool hydrolats are suited to oily, flaky, or reactive scalps. Rose Geranium helps balance combination scalps. Peppermint and Witch Hazel provide a refreshing, pore-tightening effect on oily scalps. Fine Lavender and Roman Chamomile suit sensitive and delicate scalps. Lemon Verbena adds brightness and freshness. Refrigerate after opening and use within the period stated on the bottle.

Essential oils: active scalp ingredients — always dilute, never apply pure — the essential oils in this collection are raw, concentrated plant extracts and must always be diluted before scalp use. Add 1–3 drops per 10 ml of vegetable oil or neutral shampoo base before application. Rosemary Verbenone and Rosemary Camphor are among the most documented essential oils for scalp and hair routines. Rosemary Cineole and Rosemary Camphor suit oily scalps. Atlas Cedar and Cedarwood-type oils support scalp balance. Tea Tree is suited to oily, flaky, or congested scalps. Peppermint, Spearmint, and Cornmint provide a refreshing cooling sensation. Ylang Ylang Complete suits dry and brittle hair. Geranium Rosat, Rose Geranium, and Palmarosa support scalp harmony and are suitable for most hair types. Clary Sage is used for oily scalps. Lemon, Grapefruit, and other citrus oils are suited to oily and dull hair — avoid sun exposure after using citrus essential oils on the scalp. Never apply any essential oil undiluted to the scalp or skin. Always read the individual product page for full precautions and contraindications.

Washing frequency and transition period — how often you wash depends on your scalp type: oily scalps may need washing every 2–3 days; normal scalps every 3–5 days; dry or sensitive scalps benefit from less frequent washing. When switching from a conventional to an organic or solid shampoo, the scalp may take 2–4 weeks to rebalance sebum production — this is a normal transition period. Washing with lukewarm (not hot) water reduces sebum stimulation and helps preserve the hair's natural oils. Rinse thoroughly to avoid product buildup at the scalp.

Building a simple hair cleansing routine — 1. Optional pre-wash oil treatment (vegetable oil applied to dry hair and scalp, 20–60 minutes). 2. Shampoo or shampoo bar on wet hair — massage scalp, rinse thoroughly. 3. Optional vinegar rinse or hydrolat spray on the scalp. 4. Pat dry gently; avoid rubbing. 5. Apply a small amount of vegetable oil or shea butter to dry ends only if needed.

These are cosmetic and body care products, not medicines. They are not intended to treat or prevent any scalp condition or disease. If you have a scalp condition, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or are using these products on young children, read the individual product page carefully and seek professional advice before use.

The conventional hair cleansing market is crowded with formulas that promise clean, shiny hair while relying on synthetic surfactants, silicone coatings, synthetic fragrances, and preservatives that build up on the scalp and hair shaft over time. Our philosophy here is more exacting: certified organic, plant-based cleansing and purifying formulas — honestly described, produced by specialists who share the same standards, and formulated without ingredients that compromise scalp health or accumulate in the body.

Scalp health is the starting point of hair health — not a secondary concern. What you use to cleanse your scalp every wash shapes its microbiome, sebum balance, and long-term condition. A certified organic shampoo or cleansing formula that respects the scalp's natural pH and lipid balance supports its own protective function. Synthetic surfactants and silicone-heavy formulas strip the scalp's natural oils, triggering compensatory sebum overproduction, buildup, and irritation. This collection is built around the premise that the cleanser is where hair health begins — and where the standard must be highest.

Certified organic is the floor, not the ceiling — every product in this collection carries independent organic certification. EU Organic Farming regulation governs the agricultural origin of every plant-derived raw material — the olive oil in the cold-processed solid soaps and shampoo bars, the essential oils in the shower gels, the botanical extracts in the hydrolats. The COSMOS standard governs finished formulations. CosméBio, Ecocert, and Bureau Veritas provide independent third-party verification. The word "natural" on its own is unregulated and unverifiable. Certified organic is the only standard that can be checked.

Plant chemistry does the cleansing work — saponins from certified organic olive oil allow cold-processed solid soaps and shampoo bars to cleanse effectively without synthetic surfactants. Rosemary essential oil (Rosmarinus officinalis) contains camphor, verbenone, and cineole compounds with well-documented scalp-stimulating and purifying properties used in professional hair care. Tea tree essential oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) is established for its antimicrobial and scalp-clarifying properties. Peppermint and spearmint essential oils provide a cooling, refreshing sensation associated with effective scalp cleansing. Castor oil, rich in ricinoleic acid, supports scalp conditioning alongside cleansing. These are plant compounds with identified active constituents — not marketing claims.

Honest about what cleansing products can and cannot do — the products in this collection are cosmetics. They cleanse the scalp and hair, remove product buildup and impurities, support the scalp's natural condition, and contribute to the appearance of clean, balanced, and healthy hair within the normal range of cosmetic use. They are not medicines and do not treat scalp diseases. For persistent or clinically significant scalp conditions — seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, chronic dandruff, alopecia — consult a dermatologist. Certified organic hair cleansing formulas can complement professional recommendations; they are not a substitute for medical care.

A complete toolkit for scalp and hair cleansing — this collection brings together every certified organic cleansing format relevant to hair and scalp care: liquid shampoos and cleansing gels for daily and targeted use; solid shampoo bars and cold-processed soap bars in zero-waste, plastic-free formats; shower gels that double as hair and body cleansers; hydrolats for scalp toning and post-wash treatment; essential oils for scalp application and hair rinse enrichment; and vegetable oils — including castor oil — for scalp nourishment alongside cleansing. Each format addresses a specific cleansing need, hair type, and lifestyle preference.

Built around hair type and scalp goal, not generic labelling — hair changes — with age, hormonal cycles, hard water, seasonal shifts, and the accumulation of styling products. An oily scalp in summer may respond differently in winter. Colour-treated hair has different cleansing needs than fine hair or atopic scalps. We have organised this collection around cleansing goals and scalp concerns — from oily scalp and sebum regulation, to sensitive and atopic scalp, to buildup removal, to purifying and rebalancing after product overload — so that you can find the right formula for your current condition, not a generic label.

Sourced from specialist producers across France — the products in this collection come from specialist manufacturers, botanical distillers, and organic formulators operating across different regions of France — Provence, the Loire Valley, the Hautes-Alpes, the Drôme, the Allier, and the Nièvre — under some of the most rigorous organic cosmetics certification frameworks in Europe. We select each producer based on their certification standards, their raw material sourcing, and their formulation philosophy. Every product has earned its place in the collection.

Transparency at the product level — we do not make collection-wide efficacy claims that cannot be verified product by product. Certification status, key plant actives, botanical origin, hair type suitability, usage instructions, and any contraindications are specified on each individual product page. The collection sets the standard; the product page delivers the evidence.

Every product in this Hair Cleansing & Purifying collection is organic, natural and pure. The collection brings together organic shampoos, solid soaps, cleansing gels, shower gels, hydrolats, essential oils, vegetable oils, oil macerates and plant extracts for hair and scalp-cleansing routines. Each format has its own ingredients, directions and product-level certification information.

Organic haircare, with product-level transparency — certification, ingredients and origin information are provided on each product page. Hair Cleansing & Purifying includes both ready-to-use cleansing formulas and concentrated botanical ingredients, so the applicable certification details, recommended use and precautions must always be read for the individual product you choose.

EU Organic Farming Regulation — the agricultural foundation — certified organic botanical ingredients are grown under the requirements of EU organic farming. This framework governs how organic agricultural raw materials are produced and verified. For hair cleansing, it provides a clear basis for choosing organic plant-based ingredients such as aromatic plants, botanical waters, vegetable oils and plant extracts.

Why certification matters in a hair-cleansing routine — shampoos, cleansing gels, solid cleansers and scalp-care products come into regular contact with hair and the scalp. Organic certification and clearly stated ingredient information help you understand the standards behind a product’s botanical raw materials and formulation, instead of relying on vague “natural” wording alone.

COSMOS — the organic and natural cosmetics standard — where stated on the product page, COSMOS certification identifies a cosmetic product assessed against a recognised standard for organic and natural cosmetics. It covers relevant criteria for ingredients and production. COSMOS information applies to the specific certified product; it should not be assumed for a different format or item in the collection.

CosméBio, Ecocert and other certification information — certification labels and the names of certifying bodies are meaningful only when shown for the individual product. They provide a transparent, product-specific reference point for shoppers looking for organic shampoo, natural hair cleanser or botanical scalp-care ingredients. Always consult the product page for the exact certification carried by an item.

Organic shampoos, solid cleansers and cleansing gels — the ready-to-use cleansing range includes liquid shampoos, solid soap formats and cleansing gels for different preferences and routines. Their cosmetic role is to wash hair and the scalp, remove everyday residue and leave hair feeling clean and refreshed. They are not medicines and are not presented as treatments for hair or scalp conditions.

Pure hydrolats and botanical waters — the collection includes organic hydrolats such as rosemary verbenone, peppermint, tea tree, fine lavender, Roman chamomile, cornflower, witch hazel, lemon verbena and orange blossom. These water-based botanical preparations offer a lighter format for routines where the stated product directions support hair or scalp use. Check the individual page for composition, recommended use and precautions.

Pure essential oils — concentrated botanical ingredients — essential oils in this collection include aromatic plants such as tea tree, rosemary, peppermint, spearmint, fine lavender, lemon, grapefruit, bergamot, cedar and clary sage. Essential oils are concentrated ingredients, not ready-to-use hair products. Follow the stated dilution, application and safety guidance carefully, and do not apply them to the scalp or hair unless the product page specifically indicates an appropriate cosmetic use.

Vegetable oils, macerates and plant extracts — castor oil, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, black cumin seed oil, sesame oil, macadamia oil and selected botanical macerates and extracts provide further options for personalised haircare. Their texture, composition and suitable uses differ. Review the product page to choose the right format for your routine and to use each ingredient as directed.

Reliable choices, product by product — for the exact organic certification, full INCI list, ingredient origin, directions for use and precautions, always consult the individual product page. This is the most reliable way to choose organic hair cleansing and purifying care that suits your hair type, your routine and your personal preferences.

What types of hair cleansing products does this collection include? — the collection covers the full spectrum of certified organic hair cleansing formats: liquid shampoos, solid shampoo bars (cold-processed olive oil soaps), vegetable oils for pre-wash treatments, hydrolats as scalp toners, and essential oils for targeted scalp care used diluted in a carrier. Every product in this collection is certified organic, natural, or pure — certification status is indicated on each individual product page.

What is the difference between a liquid shampoo and a solid shampoo bar? — the liquid shampoos in this collection are based on COSMOS-certified organic formulas in a traditional liquid format, with a gentle surfactant base suited to daily or frequent use. The solid shampoo bars are cold-processed olive oil soaps: produced by saponification of certified organic plant oils — olive, coconut, shea, and others — without heat and without synthetic surfactants. Cold processing preserves the natural glycerin produced during saponification, which stays in the finished bar and conditions both scalp and hair. Both formats cleanse without stripping, but solid bars tend to be more concentrated and longer-lasting, and are zero-waste by design.

Which products in this collection are best for oily hair or an oily scalp? — for oily hair and scalp, the most relevant options in this collection are: the organic Spearmint shampoo (refreshing, with a cooling mint action on the scalp), the organic solid soap with montmorillonite clay (sebum-regulating, pore-clarifying on the scalp), the Rosemary Verbenone essential oil and hydrolat (both traditionally associated with scalp rebalancing and sebum regulation — used diluted or as a rinse), the Tea Tree essential oil and hydrolat (antimicrobial, purifying, used diluted), and the Lemon essential oil (clarifying, used diluted in a carrier oil for scalp massage). Castor oil, used as a pre-wash scalp treatment blended with a lighter carrier, can help regulate the scalp barrier over time.

Which products are best for dry, damaged, or colour-treated hair? — for dry, damaged, or chemically treated hair, the most nourishing options in this collection are: the organic solid soaps based on olive oil (which naturally conditions as it cleanses), the coconut oil (used as a pre-wash mask to reduce protein loss during washing), the sweet almond oil and macadamia oil (lightweight pre-wash treatments that soften and add slip), the Ylang Ylang essential oil (used diluted in a carrier — traditionally associated with scalp nourishment), and the Fine Lavender hydrolat (gentle scalp toner, suitable for sensitive and reactive scalps). The Tulsi plant extract is known for its protective properties and can be incorporated into a pre-wash routine.

Which cleansing products in this collection are suitable for a sensitive or reactive scalp? — the most suitable options for a sensitive or reactive scalp include: the fragrance-free solid soaps (Pure Olive variants), the Roman Chamomile hydrolat (soothing, alcohol-free — ideal as a post-wash scalp rinse or toner), the Fine Lavender hydrolat (gentle and calming), the Roman Chamomile essential oil (used diluted in a carrier oil for scalp massage — do not apply undiluted), and the Shea Butter (used as a finishing oil on ends, not the scalp). Always perform a patch test before first use on a reactive scalp.

Which products address dandruff or scalp buildup? — for scalp buildup and dandruff, the most relevant products in this collection are: the Tea Tree essential oil and hydrolat (purifying, antimicrobial — used diluted in a carrier oil for scalp massage, or the hydrolat as a scalp rinse), the Rosemary Verbenone essential oil and hydrolat (traditionally associated with scalp purification), the montmorillonite clay soap (absorbs excess sebum and clarifies the scalp), and the Witch Hazel hydrolat (astringent, scalp-toning). These are cosmetic products — not treatments for clinical scalp conditions such as seborrhoeic dermatitis or psoriasis. For persistent or severe scalp conditions, consult a dermatologist.

How do hydrolats fit into a hair cleansing routine? — hydrolats — also called floral waters or hydrosols — are the water-based co-product of steam distillation of plant material. They contain the water-soluble aromatic compounds of the plant in a gentle, alcohol-free, ready-to-use form, with no dilution required. In a hair routine, apply a hydrolat directly to the scalp before or after shampooing as a toning rinse, mist onto the scalp between washes to refresh and regulate, or use as the water phase in a DIY hair mask. Choose by scalp concern: Rosemary Verbenone for sebum regulation and scalp rebalancing; Tea Tree for purifying and antimicrobial action; Peppermint or Lemon Verbena for refreshing and scalp stimulation; Fine Lavender or Roman Chamomile for sensitive and irritated scalps; Witch Hazel for oily, congested scalps. Refrigerate after opening.

How do essential oils fit into a hair cleansing routine? — essential oils in this collection are highly concentrated plant extracts — they are never applied undiluted to the scalp or hair. They are used diluted in a carrier oil (such as castor oil, coconut oil, or sweet almond oil) for pre-wash scalp massage treatments, or added in small quantities to a neutral shampoo base or hair mask. Rosemary essential oils (Camphor, Cineole, Verbenone) are among the most studied for scalp and hair use. Tea Tree is used for purifying and antimicrobial action. Peppermint and Spearmint are used for their cooling, refreshing effect on the scalp. Cedarwood (Atlas Cedar) is traditionally associated with scalp circulation. Always follow individual product page guidance for safe dilution ratios.

How do vegetable oils fit into a hair cleansing routine? — vegetable oils in this collection are used as pre-wash treatments, not leave-in products (with the exception of a small amount on ends). Applied to dry hair and scalp 20–60 minutes before shampooing, they protect the hair fibre during washing, reduce protein loss, and nourish the scalp barrier. Castor oil has a rich, thick texture and a drawing action — it is best blended with a lighter oil such as sweet almond or coconut. Coconut oil penetrates the hair shaft and is particularly effective on porous or chemically treated hair. Sweet almond and macadamia oils are lighter and suit finer hair types. Evening Primrose oil is richer and suits dry, mature scalps. Black Cumin Seed oil has purifying properties traditionally associated with scalp health.

Are the products in this collection safe for frequent or daily use? — the liquid shampoos and fragrance-free solid soaps in this collection are formulated for frequent use. The Coconut & Raspberry Vinegar shampoo is specifically positioned for frequent use and shine. Essential oils and hydrolats used as scalp treatments are typically applied 1–3 times per week rather than daily, depending on the product and the individual. Always follow the usage guidance on each individual product page.

What does "cold-processed" mean for the solid soaps in this collection? — cold processing means the soap is made by saponification of plant oils with an alkali at low temperature, without heat and without synthetic surfactants. This preserves the natural glycerin produced during the reaction, which remains in the finished bar and gives it its conditioning properties. Cold-processed soaps retain a higher concentration of the original plant oils' beneficial fatty acids compared to hot-processed or industrially produced soap. All cold-processed solid soaps in this collection are certified organic.

What is the difference between the different Rosemary essential oils in this collection? — this collection includes three Rosemary essential oil chemotypes: Rosmarinus officinalis CT camphor, CT cineole, and CT verbenone. Chemotypes are botanical varieties of the same plant species that produce different proportions of chemical constituents depending on growing altitude, climate, and soil. In practice for hair and scalp use: Rosemary CT verbenone is the most commonly recommended for scalp regulation and is gentler than the other two. Rosemary CT cineole has a stronger purifying and clarifying profile. Rosemary CT camphor is the most stimulating of the three. All three are used diluted in a carrier oil for scalp massage — never neat. Individual product pages specify safe use conditions.

What does "certified organic" mean for the products in this collection? — "certified organic" means the product has been independently verified against a recognised standard. In this collection, agricultural raw materials (vegetable oils, essential oils, plant extracts, butters) carry EU Organic Farming certification. Formulated cosmetic products (shampoos, cleansing gels, solid soaps) carry COSMOS Organic or COSMOS Natural certification, verified by Ecocert or Bureau Veritas. Certification status is clearly indicated on each individual product page. "Natural" is an unregulated term — where it appears in this collection, the products meet high standards of purity and plant-based formulation, but do not carry a certified organic label.
