Natural Shampoos at Suvarna

‘Chemical free’ shampoo has come a long way since it first appeared on the market 20 years ago. Even Odylique’s iconic Gentle Herb Shampoo, first launched in 2004 as the UK’s first ever certified organic shampoo - which even back then was a great formula - has had a couple of edits. It is arguably still one of the best natural shampoos around and keeps on winning awards.

At Suvarna we also offer Logona, Lavera, Sante and Aubrey shampoos. All are 100% natural origin. None of them contain sodium lauryl or laureth sulphate (SLS), but Lavera shampoos do use sodium coco sulphate, a milder version of its SLS cousin. If you want 100% sulphate free, go for Odylique, Logona or Aubrey.

For colour care, Logona offers the largest choice in artificial chemical free shampoo with options for blonde, brown and red hair that preserve and slightly boost your colour. Odylique’s shampoos also go easy on coloured hair.

For dry hair, Aubrey’s range offers some excellent moisture boosting options such as the Blue Chamomile, Honeysuckle or Island Botanicals Shampoo.

For sensitive scalps you are in great hands with a high-quality natural shampoo.  Odylique’s Gentle Herb Shampoo is known as the shampoo for sensitive skin.

Oily hair and scalp? No problem! Try Odylique’s Tea Tree & Herb Shampoo which helps balance excess sebum production and tackle flaky scalps with organic tea tree oil. You can also get a very good clarifying action with Odylique’s Tea Tree Shampoo.

If you’d rather use no detergent and foam at all, try Laverde’s Powder Natural Cleanser which uses clay to draw out dirt and excess oil. Or an even more budget option is our own no poo cleansers of Shikakai or Soapnut powders.

The best natural shampoo is formulated with ingredients that are both kind to your skin & hair and rich in nourishing botanicals such as plant oils and herbal extracts. Look out for plant oils such as coconut, avocado, and jojoba high up on the ingredients list, as well as hair-boosting plant extracts like nettle, aloe vera and horsetail that will put the shine and bounce back in your locks.

The presence of (often organically grown) botanical ingredients and absence of harsh chemical cleansers means that natural shampoo is better for the environment too. Certified natural or certified organic hair care is not allowed to contain any ingredients that aren’t biodegradable or otherwise damage the environment.

But with greenwashing so rife, how do you know what is a genuine natural shampoo? Here at Suvarna, all our brands have either natural certification or organic certification. So, you can rest assured that what you buy from Suvarna will have been carefully checked – both by us and an independent certification body - to make sure it is free from silicone, SLS, artificial fragrance and all the other chemicals you’d like to avoid in your hair care.

Remember that when you switch to natural shampoo, it can take your hair and scalp a little time to adjust. Allow 2 weeks to see the full benefits.
