Manufactum shampoo

Beer and Hop Extracts. The mild shampoo is ideal for daily hair washing. Extracts from beer and hop strengthen fine hair and give the hair shine and body. Dexpanthenol increases the moisture retention capacity of hair and scalp; lactic acid adjusts the shampoo to the optimum pH value of around 5. Incidentally, the shampoo contains real beer: it comes from the Bosch private brewery in Bad Laasphe. But don't worry – your hair will not smell of it after application.

A shampoo has a difficult task. It is supposed to clean and care for two entirely different body components, namely hair and scalp, equally gently and thoroughly. It is made even more complicated by the fact that the demands of hair and scalp are subject to seasonal and, in some cases, hormonal fluctuations. Therefore, there is no "one shampoo" for a certain type of hair. The choice of the right shampoo is a personal and constantly changing matter. We take this into account - with shampoos that contain only what serves the purpose in question. Since they do not contain technical, but vegetable (biodegradable) foaming agents, they foam less than commercial shampoos.

We have developed a body care series according to our specifications and are cooperating for this project with two pharmacists from North Rhine-Westphalia. Based on well-thought-out recipes, all products of the series comply with our maxim: reduced to the essentials. Our partners see to it that the products of our series solely contain what serves the particular purpose. Moreover, although they are no pharmaceutical preparations, most of their ingredients – somewhat unusual for body care products – are of pharmacopoeia quality according to the current German and European Pharmacopoeia; both officinal collections set high standards in terms of purity, enrichment and freshness. Our range of products is small but well-considered, and we add only a few articles each year. Partly, the formulations derive from old officinal formulae and antiquarian pharmacopoeias; partly, we present new in-house developments based on proven elements and compounds. We attach great importance to natural ingredients and therefore completely dispense with petrochemical-based raw materials as well as synthetic fragrances, dyes and preservatives.
