Gentle Natural Shampoo

Unlike 97% of shampoos in the market that contain synthetic ingredients, Ayushoveda Gentle Natural Shampoo is made from 100% natural sources. Even many products labeled "herbal" or "Ayurvedic" still contain "Dirty Dozen" chemicals (87% and 74% respectively, according to our research).

Our shampoo follows the strict Ayurvedic principle of "Do No Harm" with zero synthetic ingredients. It cleanses effectively without stripping your scalp's protective oils.

Yes!

Our Gentle Natural Shampoo effectively removes dirt and excess oil without harsh sulfates. It creates a mild lather that cleanses thoroughly while preserving your scalp's essential oils. Many people find that after transitioning from chemical-heavy shampoos, their scalp actually produces less excess oil over time, as it's no longer trying to compensate for oils being stripped away.

The Hair Nourishing Elixir is a lightweight franctionated coconut oil-based infusion of dosha balancing and nourishing herbs. It provides continuous gentle nourishment to your hair and scalp.

You can also use it overnight (if you are not prone to congestion), since it absorbs completely overnight with no need to wash it off in the morning.

It is especially useful for dry scalp/hair, for occasional use when you forget to apply Two-Oils or even during winter since it does not freeze up.

The Shampoo and Elixir work as complementary partners. While the Gentle Natural Shampoo cleans with mild action, the Elixir adds lightweight, continuous nourishment to supplement your scalp's natural oils.

This combination ensures your hair receives all-day/night care – the shampoo prevents damage during cleansing while the elixir actively supports hair health.

Together, they maintain the balance & nourishment that harsh synthetic products often disrupt.

Yes, our Gentle Natural Shampoo is formulated to be suitable for all hair types and conditions. Its balanced formula works for dry, oily, normal, and combination hair. It's even gentle enough for children over five years old.

If you have dry scalp, we recommend using the Elixir to manage that.

For specific hair concerns like excessive hair fall, thinning or dandruff, we recommend complementing it with our Two-Oil routine for deeper scalp balancing and nourishment.

A truly natural shampoo should have ingredients you can recognize and pronounce. Look for plant-derived cleansers like soap nuts (reetha), shikakai, and amla instead of sulfates (SLS/SLES). Avoid terms like "fragrance" or "parfum" (which can hide dozens of chemicals) and opt for products with essential oils for scent.

You can read Dr Nambi's book "Don't Destroy Your Hair" for more in-depth analysis of shampoos, dangers of chemicals and how to find the best shampoos for your lifestyle.
