John Masters Organics Lavender & Rosemary Shampoo

Review of John Masters Organics Lavender & Rosemary Shampoo
By Joanna E.

Packaging:
The John Masters Organics Lavender & Rosemary Shampoo comes in a dark brown plastic bottle with silver lettering and a very useful ridged cap making it very easy to open with wet hands. The plastic bottle is made from PET 1 plastic which does make it recyclable, but perhaps not in every area. Apparently the bottle is also bio-degradable, but I found that out from the Naturisimo web site

Application:
A very clean aroma of rosemary with undertones of lavender, the John Masters Lavender and Rosemary Shampoo is a bronze colour and not too thick a consistency, making it easy to get out of the bottle. My hair is quite thick and our water is on the hard side, so I did need to use a good teaspoon sized amount of shampoo to make it lather well. I wash my hair each day and after only a couple of days, my hair felt and looked very soft and smooth. The shampoo is very gentle and my hair certainly felt the benefit – seems a lot shinier than usual as well.

Ingredients:
The ingredients of this John Masters product aren’t listed on the travel size bottle, so I checked on the Naturisimo web site, which has a complete list. It is an impressive menu of various oils and extracts, including lavender and rosemary, but also such as horsetail, comfrey and chamomile. The lathering ability comes from decyl glucoside which is kinder to hair. It doesn’t contain the harsher sodium lauryl sulphate, which does mean that this shampoo won’t lather as much, but I found it performed just as well with the gentler lathering.

Results :
After using the John Masters Lavender & Rosemary Shampoo each day for the past week, my hair seems shiny and quite soft. It is a lovely, gentle shampoo and the travel size would last for a good couple of weeks, making it ideal for taking on holiday.

Pros:
Improved condition of hair

Cons:
Would be nice to have the ingredients listed on the travel sized bottle
