Aveda Sun Care Hair & Body Cleanser — 8.5 fl oz, Color-Safe Chlorine & Salt Removal with Coconut & Tamanu Oils

Aveda Sun Care Hair & Body Cleanser is a two-in-one, color-safe wash that rinses away chlorine, salt, and product buildup while helping restore moisture with plant oils.

After exposure to sun, pool chemicals, or ocean water, hair and skin can feel dry, gritty, or coated with mineral deposits. Aveda Sun Care Hair & Body Cleanser is formulated to clear those residues using plant-derived cleansing agents and a corn-based chelator that helps lift minerals from chlorinated water. At 96% naturally derived, it combines lightweight surfactants with tamanu, organic coconut, green tea, and sunflower oil to cleanse without stripping color or over-drying.

How does this cleanser get rid of chlorine and salt?

The formula includes a corn-derived chelating ingredient and babassu-derived cleaners that target mineral and salt deposits. These ingredients work together to loosen and wash away particles that cling after swimming, so hair and skin feel clean rather than coated.

• Corn-derived chelator binds minerals from chlorinated water for easier rinsing
• Babassu-derived surfactants remove salt and sunscreen residue
• Rinses thoroughly without heavy detergents that can strip color

Will it protect my hair color and moisture?

Yes — the cleanser is labeled color safe and avoids harsh sulfates and silicones that can fade dye. Plant oils like tamanu, coconut, and organic sunflower oil help maintain moisture balance so hair feels smoother and less prone to dryness after sun exposure.

• Color-safe formulation preserves salon color tones
• Tamanu and coconut oils help retain hydration in hair and skin
• Green tea and vitamin E add antioxidant support without heaviness

Can I use this on both hair and body, and how often should I use it?

This is a dual-purpose product designed for head-to-toe use whenever you need a targeted wash after swimming or a sun-filled day. Use it as needed after pool or ocean exposure and incorporate it into a post-beach routine rather than daily if your hair or skin is already dry.

• Safe for scalp, hair, and body—cleanses mineral and salt build-up
• Intended for use after water exposure or heavy product accumulation
• Use with other Sun Care items for extended UV and moisture protection

What is left out of the formula and why that matters?

The product avoids animal-derived ingredients, silicones, mineral oil, SLS/SLES, synthetic fragrance, parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, paraffin, and formaldehyde donors. That cleaner ingredient set reduces the risk of heavy residue and aligns with consumers seeking plant-forward formulations and clear labeling.

• Free from common harsh sulfates and synthetic fragrances
• Formulated per ISO 16128 for high percentage of plant-derived content
• Vegan, cruelty-free credentials help meet ethical preferences

Who is this for? Aveda Sun Care Hair & Body Cleanser suits swimmers, beachgoers, and anyone who spends time in chlorinated pools or salt water and wants a single, color-safe wash for both hair and skin. It’s ideal for people looking to remove mineral and product buildup without harsh chemicals and for those who prefer plant-based, cruelty-free formulas as part of a post-sun care routine.
