Directions

Hair-Loving Herbal Cleanser

Hair-loving herbs blend with effective extracts to create a gentle body, hand, hair, and scalp cleanser that removes dirt without stripping natural oils. These herbal infusions benefit all hair types, harmonizing with strands and follicles without the chemical residue of modern shampoos. Key ingredients like Nettles, Horsetail, Coltsfoot, and Horse Chestnut are rich in silica and sulfur, along with supercritical extracts packed with fatty acids and antioxidants for a luxurious sheen.The luxurious lather comes from coconut extracts that are sulfate and sulfide-free, gentle enough for a baby’s bath.

Hair Care Directions

Healthy hair starts with a cleansed scalp. Massage a small amount into a wet scalp, adding water to lather. Scrub the scalp for a few minutes to clear residue and promote hair growth. Rinsing the shampoo from the scalp cleanses the hair; follow with Calendula Comfort Conditioner or Honey Myrtle Deep Conditioning Mask for soft, shiny hair. Many find they can wash less often with this strategy.Calendula Comfort Shampoo and Body Wash is safe for young ones, blondes, and color-treated hair.

Body Wash Directions

Calendula Comfort also works as a hand and body wash. Pour into palms for a sudsy wash or enjoy a bubble bath. For countertop hand soap, mix half Calendula Care with half water in a foaming pump bottle.

Color-Treated Hair

Healthy hair is coated in natural oils that protect strands and maintain elasticity. Synthetic products often strip these oils, irritate the scalp, and fade color. Our shampoos are ideal for colored hair, promoting dimensional color and shine. The night before coloring, use our Honey Myrtle Hair Conditioning Mask or Calendula Comfort Conditioner overnight to prime hair for luminous color.

*Note: Shampoo bottles may vary in appearance (amber or clear) but contain the same generous quantity of our exquisite formula.
