Avalon Organics Strengthening Peppermint Shampoo 11 oz — Quinoa Protein & Cooling Peppermint for Brittle Hair

Avalon Organics Strengthening Peppermint Shampoo is an organic, plant-based cleanser that gently repairs brittle hair and restores resilience using peppermint oil, quinoa protein, and botanical oils.

This 11 oz bottle pairs cooling peppermint essential oil with nourishing botanicals to cleanse without stripping natural oils. The formula blends quinoa protein, calendula, babassu oil, aloe and vitamin E to help smooth the cuticle, reduce flyaways and improve elasticity for hair that moves with more bounce. Certified organic ingredients, EWG verification and a cruelty-free Leaping Bunny recognition mean you get a cleaner ingredient profile without GMOs, parabens, harsh preservatives, synthetic colors or phthalates.

How does this shampoo strengthen weak or brittle hair?

The shampoo uses quinoa-derived protein to help reinforce strands and peppermint to stimulate the scalp’s sensation of freshness. Lightweight botanical oils and aloe work to seal and smooth the hair surface so cuticles lie flatter, which helps hair feel stronger and look shinier.

• Quinoa protein to support strand structure and elasticity
• Peppermint essential oil for a cooling, clarifying wash
• Babassu oil and vitamin E to nourish and reduce frizz
• Aloe and calendula to soothe the scalp and hydrate

Will this shampoo be gentle enough for daily use?

Yes—its plant-based detergent system is formulated to cleanse thoroughly while minimizing dryness. The absence of sulfates, harsh preservatives and synthetic fragrances helps retain natural moisture, making it suitable for frequent use on many hair types.

• EWG VERIFIED ingredients for cleaner daily cleansing
• No parabens, phthalates or synthetic colors
• Vegan formula, not tested on animals
• Sulphate-free surfactants to reduce stripping

How should I use it to get the best results?

Apply a small amount to wet hair, lather, then rinse and follow with a compatible conditioner for added hydration. For extra repair, concentrate the shampoo at the roots and mid-lengths where elasticity is needed most, and rinse thoroughly to avoid residue.

• Wet hair fully before applying a quarter-sized amount
• Massage into scalp and lengths for 30–60 seconds
• Rinse and repeat if product buildup is present
• Pair with Avalon Organics Strengthening Conditioner for best results
