Herbal care for healthier hair and a soothed scalp

No sulfates. No secrets .

We believe customers deserve the truth about what’s in their products. Most shampoos - even many labeled “natural” - use harsh surfactants like sulfates that can irritate your scalp and damage your hair over time.

Clean  and effective  ingredients

Soapnut

A natural cleanser rich in saponins, soapnut gently lathers without sulfates to cleanse the scalp and hair. It removes buildup while preserving your scalp’s natural oils, leaving hair fresh, soft, and balanced.

Shikakai

Known as the “fruit for hair,” shikakai strengthens roots, promotes healthy hair growth, and adds natural shine. Its mild pH and rich vitamin content make it ideal for cleansing without drying or damaging the hair.

Fenugreek

This protein-rich herb supports scalp health and strengthens strands from root to tip. Fenugreek helps reduce shedding, smooth frizz, and promote fuller, healthier hair with every wash.

FAQs

No, and that’s intentional. Instead of harsh sulfates, we use soapnut and shikakai, natural Ayurvedic cleansers that produce a light, low-foam lather. It may feel different at first, but it still thoroughly cleanses without stripping your scalp’s protective oils.

Yes. Our aloe vera base calms irritation, while ingredients like fenugreek and neem help reduce flakes and support scalp balance over time. Many customers report relief from dryness, itchiness, and sensitivity after switching.

Absolutely. It’s gentle enough for daily use and safe for all hair types, including color-treated or thinning hair. Over time, it helps strengthen roots and restore natural shine and resilience.

This shampoo has a light, earthy and pepperminty scent from natural essential oils - no synthetic fragrance. The scent may fade after rinsing, but that’s part of our commitment to skin-safe, non-toxic formulas.

Not at all. The formula rinses clean and leaves hair feeling soft and light. If you’re used to silicone-based shampoos, you might notice a slight adjustment period as your scalp rebalances and sheds residue from past products.

They authenticity of this products is absolutely incomparable!

OM BOTANICAL skin, body, and hair care product is the most natural, plant based, chemical free product that I have ever come across. After using all this product, I can never see myself going back to using any other product with chemical again. The authencity of this whole skin, body and hair care line is absolutely incomparable. I love this product so much. The shampoo and conditioner set did wonders to my natural hair. It left my hair soft, silky, curly and, shinny. I’m absolutely inline with this product.

Non-irritating, very nice scent, leaves hair nice, not greasy or dry. Well balanced!

I purchased this mainly because I have tried other products from OM Botanical with really good results. I really like the men's organic facial moisturizer.There are few things to address (see pics). This is a good sized bottle, so you aren't getting ripped off. It comes out out looking brown and reminds me of an old tar dandruff shampoo I used many years ago, but that is where any resemblance stops.The smell is hard to nail down, but it is really nice! I love tea tree, but this isn't that smell. It's definitely something like that, but better, not as offensive to some people. After I work out, i'm quite the smelly mess and a small amount of this cleaned my hair perfectly, no itching, no dandruff. Nice shine and not rough to the tough. In fact, perfect.Lathers well, but nothing to write home about.Does NOT irritate the scalp when left on for a few minutes. That's important to me, because I like to leave the shampoo in while I wash the rest of my body.I will be ordering this as my go to shampoo for now on (as long as I can find it on sale now and then!)

Just what I needed!

I was looking for a shampoo that would help with dandruff, but not contain a bunch of ingriendients that would be not so good for my hair. I came across this one and decided to give it a try. It has some pretty good reviews, and is organic so it seemd like a good choice. When it arrived the first thing I noticed is the color and smell. The color is like a brownish-copper color and the smell is. well I guess earthy would be a good way to put it. However, this shampoo is simply amazing. After using a week or so I noticed a difference in the itchiness of my scalp. The shampoo left my hair feeling soft and looking healthy. All in all I am very happy with this shampoo and would recommend it.

Here is the deal

This shampoo works well. When you first use the shampoo, it is different. Judge it after using the conditioner and feel your hair after it drys. It feels great, just not while you are in the shower. My only gripe, is that it only comes in 12 oz bottle. Because of how it feels when using it, I seem to use a lot more, than my old go to (Aveda.) Please sell is in larger bottles.

not great….

The smell was just ok, but not great. I didn’t like that it doesn’t lather, even after several shampoos. Didn’t feel like it really cleansed my hair well.

The bottle keeps getting smaller but NOT The price

I really like the shampoo & conditioner the only issues is The bottle keeps getting smaller but NOT The price, Now that the bottle is 12 oz they are diluting with water, after 11 bottle purchased going from 19.2 oz to 16oz then 12oz Now adding water it's time to look at something else.

Works great, can’t treat it like normal shampoo

I’m on my 3rd bottle of this. It works well as long as you use it as the instructions say.There’s no lather so you have to get your hair really wet then apply it all over your scalp and let it sit there as long as possible. It’s time and not lather that cleans your hair with this shampoo. I believe that’s why some say they tried washing repeatedly and “didn’t work” because they didn’t let it sit on their scalp.My hair is bouncy and light after using it this way. I also condition my ends and mids first and leave that on while I apply the shampoo, that way I make sure no conditioner gets to my scalp and when I rinse the shampoo it washes the conditioner out too. I have to do it this way because I have waist length hair with dry ends but my scalp gets oily so I need both products to sit as long as possible while I tend to the rest of my body.If you’re looking for a truly natural shampoo, this is it.

I also have problems with that peppermint oil burning my eyes really badly no matter how tightly I keep them closed. I'm almost surprised I'm seeing it in shampoo. The smell is lovely though.

Im very concerned about the scent.

This smells good, feels really cooling on the scalp, I like itHowever, I am extremely concerned about the scent. It smells pretty strong after it's been rinsed and the scent stays in hair for days, I used it 4 days ago and I can still smell it.My husband said it smells like men's body wash lol.I contacted the company, because I use really natural products always and I've never had a product that had such. A lasting scent.I'm just having a really hard time believing there isn't a fragrance hiding.

This not your normal shampoo

I was looking for an organic, non-chemical shampoo and tried this one. The scent is peppermint. It does not lather at all, which was stated in the description, so it takes some getting used to. I put it in my hair at the start of my shower, massage my scalp, and leave it in until I am ready to exit. My hair is soft and shiny when dry, and stays fresh for several days.

Most people don't know that shampoos that grow your hair fast (obviously with no sulfates, no parabens or DEA) exist. Individuals now may have longer hair and achieve more alternatives. Definitely worth exploring.

If you're thinking about alopecia, damaged hair, preventing skin disorders, hair growth, hair health in general, almost the same thoughts apply.

As a general rule, you have to stay away from hair treatments and products that include chemicals such as parabens, DEA or sulfates.

What's good for your hair is healthy for your skin all the same.

For obvious reasons the content on this page is so accurate for many reasons. It avoids the usual mistakes and mistakes so many fall into: purchasing ineffective alternatives. Greatly appreciated!

The very best shampoo!

This shampoo outshines every shampoo I have tried. I just purchased my second bottle. My hair is now bouncy, shiny and beautiful. No more shedded hair in my comb. I am happy and relieved at finally finding a shampoo that is perfect in every way. I am slowly increasing my Om collection and I am happy with every addition. Highest recommendation!

I was suffering from scalp inflamation and hair loss. I was using a topical prescription medication for the inflamation and itching. Nothing worked until I bought O M Botanical's Shampoo & Conditioner. My dermatologist is more than happy, and so am I. All the problems have gone away. My hair is coming in great. It doesn't fall out at all. The shine is amazing. I can't thank this company enough! I will always purchase these two products!

Tingles on your head, leaves hair soft and manageable

I could do without the scent, amd because it is organic and sulfate free it doesnt lather a ton, but I got used to it after the 2nd or 3rd use, and I like it. Leaves hair aoft and silky and i wasnt noticing as much loose hair falling out or breakage when I brush or wash it after about a week of use.

I enjoy the Wild peppermint ingrédient. It smells good. I also enjoy the mint feel on the scalp. I would like the consistency to be a little thicker and for it to lather more. Other than that my hair looks healthy beautiful and clean

Good stripping shampoo

I got this product because it was made with soap nuts and I have wanted to try them for a while. The scent is great, it doesn't lather much but I knew what to expect in that department. What I didnt know is how food of a stripping shampoo it would be. It leaves my hair squeaky, and my scalp tingly.Its lovely!
