Pure Brilliance by Weleda - Shampoo and Conditioner

Quite often people ask me for my thoughts on the best organic shampoo and conditioners that don't contain any harsh chemicals. It's been hard to answer them because I have tried so many yet they all tend to not be really good.  They might wash well the first time, but using repeatedly usually means an itchy scalp or the hair just doesn't feel clean for long. It may be oily at the roots and dry on the ends, and thats not my hair type its the way the products leave residues in the hair. Healthy hair should feel just clean, soft and non oily or dry. So after a few years of searching high and low, Weleda comes up as the best I have come across. This shouldn't be surprising though as they are one of my favorite all time brands!

Back in the 1920s Weleda pioneered the use of only natural ingredients and growing plants organically using biodynamic methods. This commitment to quality without sacrificing the environment is continually challenged. The development of Weleda’s Rosemary & Ginger haircare range has resulted in the next generation of intelligent, eco-friendly ingredients. This deliciously aromatic duo is free from lauryl/laureth sulphates (and without SLS/SLES) and artificial additives or synthetic preservatives (such as parabens). All ingredients are GMO free. 

Clean, healthy hair makes us feel good on the inside. It’s surprisingly uplifting. Treated hair that is regularly coloured, highlighted, straightened or curled needs a bit of tender loving care to maintain its naturally healthy bounce and glossiness. Sunshine, sand, saltwater and swimming pool chemicals also take their toll. Rosemary and ginger’s stimulating, revitalising and strengthening properties balance the scalp’s natural oil production to restore shine.

Our Rosemary & Ginger Shampoo is formulated for normal to try hair, and contains extracts of organic rosemary and ginger, renowned for their stimulating and invigorating properties. Rosemary was used as a traditional tonic for dry scalp and dandruff, and promotes a healthy circulation. The volatile oil is extracted by steam distillation of the young rosemary leaf tips, freshly picked whilst at their most therapeutic and fragrant. Ginger is similarly warming and stimulating, and additionally contributes a valuable anti-oxidant action. 

The energising fragrance is entirely natural, from a revitalising blend of essential oils including geranium and lavender. This shampoo is made with the mildest of detergents to avoid irritation of scalp or eyes. The wizards at Weleda have another clever trick up their sleeve: using the conditioning properties of Canadian wild clover honey to enhance shine and softness, but without the stickiness. Pure brilliance.

For extra gloss, Rosemary & Ginger Conditioner is made with 100% organic plant extracts to replenish and nourish scalp and hair after washing, to leave it tangle-free and manageable.

Go greener! Now you can be kind to your hair, and kind to the environment. Weleda‘s plant-based cleansing agents are made with biodegradable coconut and sugar beet. These plant detergents are endorsed by the certification scheme Ecocert, and produce a very soft lather to cleanse your hair gently but effectively without stripping the natural oils. For cleaner hair, and a greener world.

Both products are suitable for vegetarians, and priced at £7.95 for 250ml from independent health stores and pharmacies, or from Weleda’s online shop at www.weleda.co.uk or mail order from Weleda Direct on 0115 944 8222.
