- Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): Helps condition the hair and support moisture retention for improved softness and manageability.
- Glycerin: A humectant that helps attract and retain moisture, supporting a hydrated, conditioned hair feel.

- Citric Acid: Helps maintain the shampoo's optimised acidic pH and supports a smooth-feeling hair surface.
How to Use
Apply to wet hair and scalp, then massage thoroughly to create a lather. Work the shampoo through the scalp and hair before rinsing thoroughly.
Repeat if necessary, particularly when there is heavier oil or product buildup. Follow with your preferred conditioner or K18 treatment according to your haircare routine.
For deeper cleansing when significant product, mineral or oil buildup is present, use K18 PEPTIDE PREP™ Detox Shampoo periodically instead of the Maintenance Shampoo.
