Is this shampoo formula real?
This is what my shampoo claims as its formula… it makes no sense to me. Are they hiding something?
Apple juice 2%
China grass 1%
Gotu kola plant 2%
Shikakai pulp 2%
Aloe vera juice 1%
Almond oil 1%
Coconut oil 2%
Water qs
No preservatives, no sulphate is the claim

I found it on Amazon. There is no barrier to entry on Amazon.
Based on the reviews, I’d probably not use this as a benchmark. 😆
Looks like it comes out of….. India (no comment).

I live in India, and have actually been using stuff from this brand for nearly twenty years! Contrary to the reviews you’ve posted, this shampoo works wonders for my hair …I have black hair, mid back, type 1B. And it’s dirt cheap at about half the price of Head and Shoulders.
It foams a lot less, but it behaves like any old shampoo out there. I suspect they’re hiding the surfactants and preservatives used, or using something that masquerades as “stabilizers”

There is nothing in the ingredient list that would clean hair or create foam or preserve the product so you are most likely right. They just didn’t list the ingredients that are actually making it work. They say on the label “This is not a cosmetic” so they are admitting to not following cosmetic regulations. Therefore, you can only guess what is really in the product.

This is not a shampoo - it’s spoiled fruit juice

As far as I know the Shikakai Plant can foam and has been used since ever as a natural shampoo in India and neighboring countries. Now i don’t know about the regulations for these products there, are they obliged to list the full ingredients list? if yes then there you have it, the little foam coming from the cleanser is from the Shikakai.
