What makes our vegan shampoos so good?
Our vegan shampoo hair care collection has a 100/100 score from the Good Shopping guide and is one of the most ethical hair care brands you can buy.
Here are a few reasons why our vegan shampoos are rated so highly:
ü Rich in plant-based actives to strengthen and nourish
ü pH balanced to keep the hair cuticles closed and helps lock in moisture
ü No silicones to weigh down your hair and mask its true condition
ü No harsh foaming agents to strip your hair and scalp of protective oils
ü No alcohol (ethanol/ethyl alcohol) to dry hair and irritate the scalp.
ü No synthetic colours or fragrances to cause scalp irritation
ü No petrolatum, paraffin wax or mineral oil to weigh hair down and prevent the natural oils from being absorbed by the hair shaft
ü Fully recyclable packaging
Did you know that the base of our hair care is pure, organic Aloe Vera? We use this instead of water to hydrate and nourish hair and scalp.

Not sure which vegan shampoo and conditioner is best for your hair? An easy way to find your ideal shampoo is to check the ingredients list and match the plant extracts and essential oil to your hair type.
Best vegan shampoo for thin or fine hair
Does your hair need a volume boost? Our Protein-Boost Shampoo & Shower Wash is powered by Quinoa protein which is intensely conditioning and adds softness, shine and volume.
Also found in this shampoo is protective Artichoke Extract, which is highly antioxidant and provides a defensive boost to skin and hair.
“This shampoo is amazing. I have never had such shiny hair and it really does add volume. Smells heavenly too.” Belinda
Best vegan shampoo for coloured hair
With strengthening Quinoa Protein and shine-boosting Green Tea, Intensive Repair Shampoo is a boost in a bottle for dry and damaged locks.
Naturally gloss-giving, the Quinoa grain boosts thickens and body as it improves gloss value by over 50% after just 5 washes! This incredible natural ingredient has also been shown to improve colour uptake, lock in colour and limit colour fade by up to 20%.
“Been looking for a shampoo that is cruelty free but also able to deal with my very dry, coloured hair and this is doing a great job. My sensitive scalp has calmed down and my colour is staying longer. Very pleased.” Charlotte, verified customer
Best vegan shampoo for oily hair
Has switching to a greener lifestyle left you with greasy roots? Look for hair care containing Lavender.
A key ingredient in our Irritated Scalp Shampoo, this soothing, inflammatory plant helps bring scalps that are over-producing oil back into balance. Pineapple Enzymes work with Rosemary Oil to help calm scalp problems.
“Really love this. Bought it for my mum who has been struggling to find a shampoo that is gentle and soothing for her very itchy scalp. She is so happy to find a product that suits her sensitive skin so well after struggling for so long. Ethical too, which is so important to her. Will be buying more.” Christine
Best vegan shampoo for curly/frizzy hair
Our favourite vegan shampoo for wavy, curly or frizzy hair is Moisturising Shampoo.
It contains the hydration hero Marshmallow to smooth frizz, and is also rich in Aloe Vera. Noted for its soothing properties, Aloe Vera contains mucopolysaccharides which combine with water to provide intense hair hydration.
Rich in essential nutrients and amino acids, Aloe Vera also helps to balance the scalp’s natural pH levels and restores shine, strength and lustre to the hair.
“You don't need a lot to get a good lather and smells nice. Hair feels good after use, would recommend. Love that it is also free of nasty stuff.” Kirstie
Best vegan shampoo for itchy scalp
If you are prone to dandruff or an itchy scalp, opt for a shampoo containing antibacterial essential oils like Rosemary and Tea Tree. Used in our Green People for Men No. 10 Itch Away Shampoo, these anti-inflammatory essential oils have strong antibacterial properties and gently cleanse and relieve itchy, flaky scalps.
