Manufactum shampoo

Turkish Red Oil. This oil shampoo is ideal as a cure for dry hair and itchy scalp; however, it is equally suitable for daily use. Based on Turkish red oil (also known as sulphonated castor oil), the shampoo cares like an oil; at the same time, it is water-soluble, which is why it can be washed out easily. Mild vegetable tensides ensure gentle cleansing.

A shampoo has a difficult task. It has to cleanse and care for two completely different parts of the body, namely the hair and scalp, both gently and thoroughly. This is made even more complicated by the fact that the requirements of hair and scalp are subject to seasonal and sometimes hormonal fluctuations. There is therefore no "one shampoo" for a particular type of hair; choosing the right shampoo is a personal and constantly changing matter. We take this into account - with shampoos that only contain what serves the respective purpose. As they contain plant-based foaming agents rather than technical ones, they foam less than standard 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.
