Aveda Shampure Composition Oil — bath, body & scalp oil, 1.7 fl oz, lightweight hydration & calming aroma

Aveda Shampure Composition Oil is a lightweight, multiuse oil for bath, body, and scalp that moisturizes skin and soothes the senses with meadowfoam and certified organic sunflower oils and a calming Shampure aroma.

Use this versatile oil to add slip for massage, seal moisture after showering, soften dry patches, or enrich bath water. The formula blends meadowfoam seed oil with certified organic sunflower oil to help soften and hydrate skin while a 100% naturally derived Shampure aroma—featuring certified organic lavender, petitgrain, and ylang ylang—creates a quiet, grounding scent experience. It’s formulated without animal-derived ingredients, silicones, mineral oil, parabens, phthalates, and other common additives; Aveda is also vegan and cruelty-free.

How do I use Shampure Composition Oil in a bath?

Add a few drops to warm bath water for an aromatherapeutic soak that leaves skin feeling soft without heavy residue. The oil disperses to lightly condition skin while the Shampure scent helps create a relaxing atmosphere.

• Pour 4–8 drops into running bath water for one full tub.
• Swish water gently to distribute oil evenly.
• Soak 10–20 minutes, then pat skin dry to retain moisture.

Can I apply it directly to scalp and hair?

Yes—use a small amount for targeted scalp massages or as a pre-shampoo treatment to help nourish dry ends. Apply sparingly to avoid weighing down fine hair, and rinse or shampoo afterwards if desired.

• For scalp: massage 2–3 drops into dry or damp scalp before bed.
• For hair treatment: warm a few drops between palms and work through mid-lengths to ends.
• Rinse or shampoo if you prefer a lighter finish.

Will this oil make my skin greasy?

Shampure Composition Oil is formulated to feel lightweight and absorb without leaving a heavy film when used correctly. Start with a small amount and increase as needed; it’s designed to seal in moisture and add a subtle satin finish rather than a greasy shine.

• Apply 1–2 drops to dry areas, more for very dry skin.
• Warm between palms and pat into skin for better absorption.
• Use after showering on damp skin to lock in hydration.

Is this safe for sensitive skin and what’s excluded from the formula?

The formula avoids many common irritants—no synthetic fragrance, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, silicones, or SLS/SLES—making it a thoughtful option for many skin types. As with any fragranced product, patch-test first if you have highly reactive skin or known sensitivities.

• Free from animal-derived ingredients and petrochemicals.
• Includes certified organic sunflower oil and meadowfoam seed oil for moisturization.
• Contains 100% naturally derived aroma components under ISO 16128.

Who is this for? Aveda Shampure Composition Oil suits anyone seeking a multiuse, plant-forward oil for self-care rituals—people who value naturally derived aromatics, need a lightweight body and scalp oil, or want an elegant bath enhancer. It’s ideal for those who prefer vegan and cruelty-free beauty, enjoy calming floral-citrus botanicals, and want a simple, adaptable product for daily moisture, massage, or occasional scalp care.
