Natural shampoo is rapidly gaining popularity. But what makes a shampoo natural and why are more and more people choosing it?
What is natural shampoo?
Natural shampoo is a hair care product composed of herbal ingredients and is free of synthetic additives such as sulphates, parabens and silicone. The formulas often contain nourishing oils, herbal extracts and essential oils which gently cleanse and condition hair.
Advantages of natural shampoo
- Milder for your scalp: no harsh cleaners that affect natural oils.
- Better for the environment: biodegradable and sustainably packaged.
- Healthier hair in the long run: less chance of dryness and damage.
- Suitable for skin problems: helps with dandruff, itching or eczema.
Who is natural shampoo suitable for?
Actually for everyone, but especially for people with:
- A sensitive or easily irritated scalp
- Dry or damaged hair
- Coloured hair that loses its shine quickly
- A conscious, sustainable lifestyle
Ingredients that you often come across
- Aloe vera – soothes and moisturises
- Rosemary – stimulates hair growth
- Coconut oil – gently nourishes and cleanses
- Tea tree oil – has a purifying and anti-inflammatory effect
What should you look out for when buying?
Pay close attention to the label. "Natural" is not a protected term. Therefore, choose products with labels such as Ecocert, COSMOS or NATRUE. Avoid vague ingredients such as "fragrance" or "perfume" without further explanation.

Frequently asked questions
How often can you use natural shampoo?
As long as the formula is mild, you may use it daily. Usually, 2-3 times a week is enough.
Is natural shampoo suitable for coloured hair?
Sure! Because the hair is not aggressively cleaned, your colour often stays longer.
