Basd Moisture & Shine Shampoo Sulphate & Paraben Free - Lavender & Ginger Magnolia (240 mL)

Basd Moisture & Shine Shampoo in Lavender & Ginger Magnolia is a sulphate-free, paraben-free shampoo in a 240 mL tube. Its cleansers come from coconut and plant sugars, and aloe juice is the first ingredient after them. The scent mixes lavender with a soft floral ginger magnolia, from essential oils and naturally derived fragrance.

What is in it

Four mild surfactants do the washing: alkyl polyglucosides, coco-betaine, disodium cocoamphoacetate and decyl glucoside. None of them is a sulphate. Aloe barbadensis leaf juice, vegetable glycerin, castor isostearate succinate (made from castor oil), chamomile flower extract and vitamin E (tocopherol) make up the rest of the active list.

The formula is preserved with sodium anisate and sodium levulinate, two ingredients found in plant-derived preservative systems, plus sodium gluconate. There are no parabens. Basd says it is safe to use on coloured hair.

Scent and feel

This is the floral one of the two Basd shampoos: lavender up front, with a warm ginger and magnolia note underneath. The lather is soft and bubbly for a sulphate-free formula, and it rinses out cleanly. On long or thick hair, a second small amount on the lengths is normal, since glucoside cleansers foam less than sulphates.

How to use it

Wet your hair, massage a small amount into the scalp and work it from roots to ends, then rinse. Basd pairs it with the Moisture & Shine Conditioner. Avoid getting it in your eyes.

Who it suits

It suits adults with any hair type, including curly and coloured hair, who want a sulphate-free shampoo with a floral scent. It contains no hemp oil, so it is the pick in the range if you want a lighter formula without added oil. Pair it with the Moisture & Shine Conditioner if you want the lavender scent through both steps.

How it compares

The other Basd shampoo, Repair & Hydrate in sage and eucalyptus, adds hemp seed oil, panthenol and four plant extracts (white willow bark, chamomile, red clover and elder flower) and has a herbal scent. Moisture & Shine keeps chamomile, adds castor isostearate succinate and vitamin E, and smells of lavender. Both come in the same 240 mL tube.
