A creamy shea shampoo that hydrates and tames dry, unruly hair
René Furterer Sublime Karité Hydrating Smoothing Shampoo is a hydrating and disciplining shampoo for dry to very dry hair that tends to frizz. Its formula is built around shea oil, a natural lipid rich in fatty acids that strengthens the hair's protective film, paired with Cimentrio, a soy-derived complex of proteins and lipids that helps restructure the fibre and protect hair and scalp from daily aggressions. The base cleanses gently and turns into a creamy lather that makes detangling easier from roots to ends. After use, hair feels soft, supple and easier to style, with more shine and less frizz. This 500ml pump bottle is the most practical size for daily family use.
The texture
A creamy, pearly shampoo that works into a soft, rich lather on wet hair and rinses out cleanly without leaving a coating. The formula is silicone-free, so hair stays light rather than weighed down. It carries a warm floral scent with fruity top notes of grapefruit and pear that stays lightly on the hair after drying.
Who it suits
- Dry to very dry hair that feels rough and lacks shine
- Frizzy or curly hair that is hard to discipline
- Hair that tangles easily after washing
- Anyone who wants a silicone-free shampoo for frequent use
Worth knowing before you buy: This shampoo is fragranced and contains sodium laureth sulfate and sodium lauryl sulfate, so it lathers well but may feel too cleansing on a very sensitive scalp. For deeper nutrition, follow once a week with a Sublime Karité mask, left on for a few minutes before rinsing, to keep lengths soft between washes.
How long one bottle lasts
Using about 5ml per wash, the 500ml pump gives around 100 washes, which is roughly three months of daily washing for one person or six weeks when shared between two.
