0Gentle Purifying Shampoo — Sulfate-Free Scalp Cleanse
$22.00 / 10oz
Most shampoos strip your hair to feel clean. This one doesn't.
Ahimsa Gentle Purifying Shampoo is formulated specifically for active people who wash their hair often — removing post-workout buildup, sweat, and product residue without stripping your scalp of its natural oils. The result is hair that feels genuinely clean, not squeaky and dry.
The secret is Willow Bark Extract, a natural salicylic acid source that dissolves buildup at the scalp the same way harsh sulfates do — but gently, without disrupting your hair's moisture balance. Paired with Indian Gooseberry (Amla) to nourish the scalp and a refreshing Spearmint fragrance to wake you up post-workout, this is a shampoo designed to work as hard as you do.
Ideal for normal to fine hair. Safe for color-treated hair.

Best shampoo ever! After one solid month of using the shampoo, below is my assessment:
– Love the smell: soft, elegant, and “fresh”.
– Feels “soft” or gentle on the hair. My hair feels fresh and healthy after showering.
– The bottle is smaller than most we can purchase at stores. BUT I use much less shampoo.
Overall rating: A+ – love how it smells, feels on my skin, and my hair feels cleaner and softer after. Strongly recommend it.

Jesse (amazon) –
This is a good shampoo with a minty fresh scent. The consistency is good; it doesn’t feel like it is watered down or too thin, and it lathers up nicely in my hair. I especially like that it comes in an aluminum container as that is much better for the environment than plastic.
Shelly (amazon) –
Hair looks and feels wonderful! The metal bottle arrived dented, but I was still able to dispense. The product smells good, and the mint gave a slight, pleasing tingle when using. When visiting a spa recently I had used a shampoo I didn’t care for and it felt like it had left behind so much buildup and I could barely run my fingers through it. After using the Ahisma shampoo it was totally gone – my hair feels great to the touch and looks wonderful!
