Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening Shampoo 1.7 fl oz — Silicone-Free, Bond-Building Cleanser

Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening Shampoo is a silicone-free, plant-powered cleanser designed to gently remove buildup while helping strengthen and repair damaged hair from the inside out.

This concentrated 1.7 fl oz shampoo is the first step in the Aveda Botanical Repair system. Formulated with 94% naturally derived ingredients, it lifts sebum, styling residues, and environmental grime without stripping, and pairs with the Botanical Repair Strengthening Conditioner to support bond rebuilding and improved hair resilience. The scent uses Aveda’s Pure-Fume blend of certified organic ylang-ylang, rose, marjoram and other plant essences for a refined, botanical aroma.

How does this shampoo clean without drying my hair?

The formula replaces harsh surfactants with gentler cleansing agents derived from natural sources, so it removes excess oil and product buildup without blasting away essential moisture. It’s silicone-free to avoid build-up that can weigh hair down, yet effective enough for daily or occasional use depending on your needs.

• 94% naturally derived ingredients per ISO 16128.
• Silicone-free surfactant blend that cleans while preserving softness.
• Removes pollution and styling residues without over-drying.
• Suitable for all hair textures, from fine to coarse.

What repair benefits can I expect with regular use?

Used as part of the Botanical Repair regimen, the shampoo helps create conditions for improved hair strength and condition by supporting bond-building technologies and nutrient-rich plant oils. Over time, hair feels more resilient and shows fewer signs of breakage when followed by the matching conditioner.

• Supports bond-building molecules to help reduce breakage when paired with the conditioner.
• Includes avocado, green tea, and sacha inchi oils to nourish and condition strands.
• Enhances manageability and reduces the rough feel of damaged hair.

Is this product clean and cruelty-free?

Aveda positions this shampoo within a clean-beauty framework: it omits many common synthetic and animal-derived ingredients while using mostly plant-based materials. The brand is vegan, Leaping Bunny certified, and a Certified B Corp, aligning with ethical and sustainability commitments.

• Formulated without silicones, parabens, phthalates, or SLS/SLES.
• Free from animal-derived ingredients and synthetic fragrance.
• Vegan formula and cruelty-free certification for ethical assurance.

How should I use Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening Shampoo for best results?

Apply a small amount to wet hair, massaging into a lather from roots to ends, then rinse thoroughly. For full bond-repair benefits, follow with Botanical Repair Strengthening Conditioner and use consistently—adjust frequency based on your scalp and styling routine.

• Massage into wet hair, then rinse; repeat if needed for heavy buildup.
• Follow with Botanical Repair Strengthening Conditioner to maximize bond-building effects.
• Can be used across hair types; tailor washing frequency to scalp oiliness.

Who is this for: This shampoo is designed for anyone with chemically, heat- or mechanically damaged hair who wants a gentler, plant-forward cleanser that supports improved strength. It’s also a good fit for people seeking silicone-free, vegan, and cruelty-free hair care with a botanical fragrance and sustainable brand credentials.
