AG Care Balance Apple Cider Vinegar Sulfate-Free Clarifying Shampoo, 12 fl oz — Hydrating, pH-Balanced

AG Care Balance Apple Cider Vinegar Sulfate-Free Shampoo is a plant-based clarifying shampoo that removes build-up, soothes the scalp, and restores shine without sulfates.

This gentle, 12 fl oz shampoo blends apple cider vinegar with argan oil and botanical extracts to clarify hair, rebalance scalp pH, and lock in moisture. Formulated for all hair types and textures, it exfoliates residue from styling products and hard water minerals while delivering lightweight hydration and a fresh herbal scent. The formula is 98% plant-based, vegan, cruelty-free, and avoids sulfates, parabens, gluten, DEA, and PABA.

How does this shampoo remove product and mineral build-up?

The apple cider vinegar in the formula helps dissolve mineral deposits, hard water residues, and styling product film, making hair feel cleaner and lighter. It works without harsh sulfates, so the clarifying action cleans without overstripping natural oils.

• ACV helps break down mineral and styling-product buildup
• Sulfate-free surfactants gently lift residue
• pH-balanced formula supports the scalp's natural barrier

Will it dry out or hydrate my hair?

Balance is designed to clarify while remaining hydrating: argan oil and botanical extracts replenish moisture and smooth the cuticle. The result is hair that looks glossy and feels soft, not brittle or straw-like.

• Argan oil delivers essential fatty acids and vitamins to strengthen strands
• Lightweight hydration reduces frizz without weighing hair down
• pH-balanced formula helps retain natural moisture

Is this product suitable for my hair type and scalp concerns?

Yes — the shampoo is formulated for straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair as well as for oily, normal, and dry scalps that need occasional clarifying. It soothes itchy scalps and improves manageability while being gentle enough for regular use depending on your styling routine.

• Works for all textures and porosities
• Helpful for hard-water and chlorine-exposed hair
• Calming botanicals like lavender, rosemary, and sage comfort the scalp

How should I use this shampoo for best results?

Apply to wet hair, massage into the scalp to emulsify and lift buildup, then rinse thoroughly. For heavy mineral deposits or after swimming, repeat once; follow with a conditioner for added moisture and detangling.

• Wet hair thoroughly, concentrate on the scalp, then rinse
• Repeat for deep clarifying when needed (e.g., after chlorine exposure)
• Follow with a moisturizing conditioner for shine and smoothness

Who this is for: AG Care Balance Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo is for people who want a gentle but effective clarifying shampoo that supports scalp health and natural shine. Choose it if you deal with product buildup, hard water dullness, chlorine exposure, or persistent oiliness but still want to preserve moisture, reduce frizz, and avoid harsh sulfates. It's also a good pick for anyone seeking plant-forward, cruelty-free haircare with botanical scent notes.
