First Botany Castor Oil Shampoo 16 fl oz — Sulfate-Free Thickening Formula for Thicker-Looking Hair and Reduced Breakage

First Botany Castor Oil Shampoo is a sulfate-free, castor-oil–infused cleanser designed to hydrate hair, reduce breakage, and support thicker-looking strands for men and women.

This salon-style shampoo blends castor oil with glycerin and botanical extracts to hydrate dry or damaged hair while gently cleansing. Formulated without sulfates, parabens, or phthalates, it aims to preserve color and the scalp's natural oils. The aroma and sensation come from rosemary and peppermint essential oils, while chamomile and Albizia bark help soothe and refresh the scalp after washing.

How does this shampoo help hair appear thicker?

The blend of castor oil and glycerin conditions and plumps individual strands, which can create the appearance of fuller hair. Castor oil’s rich fatty acids help smooth the hair cuticle, improving shine and reducing the look of breakage at the ends.

• Castor oil reinforces strands to reduce breakage and split ends.
• Glycerin attracts moisture, making hair look fuller and more elastic.
• Botanical extracts balance scalp health for a better styling base.

Is this safe for daily use and color-treated hair?

Yes — the formula is free from harsh sulfates and common irritants, so it cleanses without stripping natural oils or fade-prone pigments. Its gentle lather removes dirt and buildup while being suitable for sensitive scalps.

• Sulfate-free cleansing preserves color vibrancy and natural oils.
• No parabens or phthalates; safe for routine use.
• Formulated to maintain scalp barrier and reduce irritation.

What botanical ingredients are included and why do they matter?

The shampoo combines rosemary, peppermint, chamomile, and Albizia bark extracts to refresh, soothe, and invigorate the scalp. Each botanical contributes a targeted benefit: rosemary supports healthier-feeling hair, peppermint provides a cooling sensation, and chamomile calms sensitivity.

• Rosemary essential oil for a revitalizing scalp feel.
• Peppermint oil delivers a cooling, fresh sensation during use.
• Chamomile extract soothes irritation and promotes even tone.
• Albizia bark extract adds gentle botanical support to the formula.
