    Is this product currently on the market? <div>

    It will clean and may smell good but if you compare it to any shampoo from market, you would like the shampoo more.

      Hi Abdullah,

      I produced and distributed this shampoo globally from 2006 until 2023. I also formulated and manufactured it as a Private Label for a few brands globally. It was a tremendously popular product, and even today, I receive enquiries for it.

    The liquid shampoo, soap based as this one, was 1st developed and marketed in 1927 by Hans Schwartzkopf. He’s also credited the synthetic detergent shampoo followed shortly by L’Oréal and P&G.

    Personally, I don’t like washing my hair with soap but I’m sure there might be a market for it. The major synthetic versions of detergents used in shampoos these days were invented because of the negative effects of using soap on hair.

      Hi Perry,

      Yes, you are correct. There was a global market for this product I formulated and produced, but it didn’t suit everyone. The prime reason for purchase was that customers wanted something that was free from synthetics.
