What it is and how it works

This is a gentle cleansing shampoo built around mild, sulfate-free surfactants, so it lifts away everyday buildup, oil and product residue without the harsh stripping that classic sulfate shampoos can cause. Because it cleans gently and is pH-balanced at 5.0-5.5, it helps the hair hold on to its moisture and helps colour and smoothing or keratin results last longer between salon visits. Myrrh oil and sweet almond oil add a conditioned, softer feel, while arginine, an amino acid, supports softness and manageability. It still lathers and rinses clean; sulfate-free simply means the cleansing is gentler, not that the shampoo does less. The lightly fragranced, rose-tinted formula rinses away cleanly and leaves hair feeling fresh and comfortable rather than stripped or squeaky.

Key ingredients

Myrrh oil (Commiphora Myrrha): a conditioning botanical oil that adds softness and a cared-for feel.
Sweet almond oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis): a nourishing oil that softens and smooths the lengths.
Arginine: an amino acid that supports softness, suppleness and manageability.
Sulfate-free, paraben-free and vegan: gentle cleansing that suits coloured and chemically treated hair.
pH-balanced (5.0-5.5): close to hair's own pH, helping the cuticle stay smooth and colour stay true.

What to expect

Hair is left clean, soft and noticeably easier to comb, with a healthy shine and smoother, more manageable lengths. Because the formula cleanses gently rather than stripping, colour tends to look fresher for longer and a keratin or smoothing result is not cut short by harsh washing. Used regularly as your everyday shampoo, it keeps dry or treated hair feeling nourished and looking glossy. On frizz-prone or unruly hair, the extra slip from the oils makes the lengths easier to detangle and to style from one day to the next. This is cosmetic care for how the hair looks and feels; it is not a structural repair for damage, so pairing it with the matching conditioner and mask gives the best result.

How to use

Apply a suitable amount to wet hair and massage gently into the scalp and lengths, working up a light lather. Leave on for 2 to 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Repeat if needed, for example on very oily or heavily product-coated hair. Follow with the La Vie en Rose Restorative Conditioner, and use the Restorative Mask once or twice a week for deeper nourishment. Gentle enough for frequent use.

Safety: For external use. If your scalp is sensitive, patch-test first and check the ingredient list. This formula contains fragrance allergens (alpha-isomethyl ionone, d-limonene, linalool) and the preservatives methylisothiazolinone and methylchloroisothiazolinone; discontinue use if irritation occurs. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth and mucous membranes, and rinse well with water if contact occurs. Keep out of reach of children, and store away from light, excessive heat and humidity.

Those maintaining a keratin or smoothing treatment who want a sulfate-free shampoo.
Anyone looking for a paraben-free, vegan shampoo that is kind to colour.
All hair types that benefit from gentle, pH-balanced cleansing.

Who it is not for

Compatibility

The Restorative Shampoo is the cleansing step of the La Vie en Rose restorative routine: cleanse with the shampoo, follow with the Restorative Conditioner, and treat once or twice a week with the Restorative Mask, finishing the lengths with the La Vie en Rose Serum. It is also an ideal everyday shampoo to maintain the results of the Brazilian Vegan Protein smoothing treatment and to keep coloured hair looking fresh.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use it, and how often?

Apply a suitable amount to wet hair and massage gently into the scalp and lengths, then leave on for 2 to 5 minutes and rinse thoroughly. Repeat if your hair is very oily or heavily coated with product. It is gentle enough for frequent use, so you can wash with it as often as your hair needs. Follow with the matching conditioner for the best result.

Is it sulfate-free, paraben-free and vegan?

Yes. The shampoo is formulated without sulfates and without parabens, and it is vegan. The sulfate-free base cleanses gently, which makes it well suited to coloured and chemically treated hair, while still lathering and rinsing clean. If you are avoiding specific ingredients, check the full list on the label before use.

What are the key ingredients?

It is built around myrrh oil and sweet almond oil, two conditioning botanical oils that add softness and shine, plus arginine, an amino acid that supports suppleness and manageability. The formula is sulfate-free, paraben-free and vegan, and it is pH-balanced at 5.0 to 5.5, close to the hair's own pH, which helps the cuticle stay smooth and colour stay true.

Can I use it on coloured or keratin-treated hair?

Yes, that is exactly what it is made for. Gentle, sulfate-free cleansing helps colour look fresher for longer and helps prolong the results of a keratin or Brazilian smoothing treatment, which harsh sulfate shampoos can shorten. Use it as your regular shampoo, and pair it with the matching conditioner and mask to keep treated hair soft and manageable.

What can I expect on dry or damaged hair?

Hair is left clean, soft and easier to comb, with a healthy shine and smoother lengths. Because it cleanses gently instead of stripping, dry or treated hair keeps more of its moisture and looks glossier over time. It is cosmetic care for how hair looks and feels rather than a structural repair, so using it with the conditioner and mask gives the fullest effect.

Is there anything to know before using it?

The formula contains fragrance allergens (alpha-isomethyl ionone, d-limonene and linalool) and the preservatives methylisothiazolinone and methylchloroisothiazolinone, so if your scalp is sensitive, patch-test first and check the ingredient list. Keep it away from the eyes and rinse with water if contact occurs. Keep out of reach of children and store away from light, heat and humidity.
