Cica Labo Super Aqua Shampoo

The Kerasys Cica Labo Super Aqua Shampoo is a hydrating shampoo for dry, frizzy, chemically treated or damaged-feeling hair and a scalp that needs extra comfort. The formula combines Centella Asiatica Extract with Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and Panthenol to care for the scalp, while Glycerin helps attract and retain moisture. An extensive blend of amino acids, including Lysine, Arginine, Glycine, Alanine and Leucine, supports a smoother and more conditioned hair feel. Ceramide NP adds barrier-supporting care, while several conditioning ingredients help leave the hair smoother and easier to manage after washing. According to the supplied product information, the shampoo has a slightly acidic formula and is free from added silicones, parabens and artificial colorants, making it suitable for regular use on dry and stressed hair.

Ingredients we love:

• Centella Asiatica Extract supports a comfortable, cared-for scalp and is particularly interesting for a scalp that easily feels stressed.
• Glycerin is a humectant that helps attract moisture and supports hydration of both hair and scalp.
• Ceramide NP supports the scalp barrier and helps keep the hair surface feeling conditioned.
• Panthenol helps make the hair feel softer and more flexible while supporting moisture comfort.
• Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract provides additional hydrating and soothing care.
• Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract complements the shampoo with antioxidant botanical care.
• Amino Acid Complex with ingredients including Lysine, Histidine, Arginine, Glycine, Alanine, Valine, Leucine & Cysteine supports a conditioned, flexible and stronger-feeling hair surface.
• Polyquaternium-10 & Polyquaternium-7 help make the hair feel smoother, less static and easier to detangle after washing.

Why we love it:

This shampoo is especially appealing for hair that has become dry, frizzy or less manageable due to heat, coloring, perms or other chemical treatments. The combination of Glycerin, Panthenol, Ceramide NP and an extensive amino acid blend gives the formula a clear hydrating and conditioning focus, while Centella Asiatica, Aloe Vera and Green Tea Extract provide extra attention to scalp comfort. The shampoo cleanses with a blend of different surfactants and does not contain traditional sulfate surfactants such as SLS or SLES, but it does contain Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, a relatively strong cleansing agent. For this reason, we would not position the formula as extremely mild for every sensitive scalp. For normal to damaged hair looking for a fresh cleanse with added care, the shampoo offers a good balance between cleansing, hydration and manageability.
