Essential Care created the first ever Soil Association certified shampoo; one of our proudest achievements. Margaret spent many years creating Gentle Herb Shampoo, originally at the request of a friend with scalp psoriasis. It has become a best-seller, highly popular natural shampoo which has shown great results on all scalp problems, but also is ideal for normal hair. Our natural shampoos work as a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner: They are free from harsh detergents such as sulphates (like the SLeS - sodium lauryl or laureth sulphate) which dry the hair and create the need for a conditioner in the first place, and they are packed full of moisture-boosting organic plant oils and extracts which condition the hair.
