Basd Repair & Hydrate Shampoo Sulphate & Paraben Free - Sage & Eucalyptus (240 mL)

Basd Repair & Hydrate Shampoo in Sage & Eucalyptus is a sulphate-free, paraben-free shampoo in a 240 mL tube. It is built on mild plant-derived cleansers, with hemp seed oil, aloe juice and four botanical extracts in the mix. The scent is herbal and fresh, from essential oils and naturally derived fragrance.

What is in it

The lather comes from alkyl polyglucosides, cocamidopropyl betaine and sodium cocoamphoacetate rather than sodium lauryl or laureth sulfate. Cannabis sativa (hemp) seed oil is the oil in the formula, and the brand points out that it carries omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Aloe leaf juice, vegetable glycerine and panthenol (pro vitamin B5) sit alongside it.

The plant extracts are white willow bark, chamomile flower, red clover flower and elder flower. Phenoxyethanol and caprylyl glycol keep the formula stable in place of parabens. Basd calls the shampoo vegan and says it is safe to use on coloured hair.

Scent and feel

Sage and eucalyptus give a green, slightly minty smell that suits a morning shower. Because there are no sulphates, the foam is softer and lower than a typical drugstore shampoo, so a second small pump is normal on long or thick hair. The tube is the same flat-topped 240 mL format as the matching conditioner.

How to use it

Wet your hair well, massage a small amount into the scalp and lather it from roots to ends, then rinse. Basd pairs it with Repair & Hydrate Conditioner in the same scent. Avoid contact with the eyes.

Who it suits

It suits adults with any hair type who want a sulphate-free and paraben-free shampoo, including people with coloured hair. It is a good match if you want a plant-based formula without a sweet or floral scent, and if you like a shampoo and conditioner that share one scent.

How it compares

Basd makes two shampoos. This one uses hemp seed oil and willow bark, chamomile, red clover and elder flower extracts. Moisture & Shine Shampoo, in lavender and ginger magnolia, swaps in coco-betaine, castor isostearate succinate and vitamin E, and has no hemp oil. Both are sulphate and paraben free and come in 240 mL tubes.
