Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Shampoo 33.8 oz — Sulfate-Free Clarifying, Hydrating Mineral-Removal for Color-Treated Hair

Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Shampoo is a sulfate-free, vegan clarifying shampoo that removes hard-water mineral buildup while restoring moisture and shine.

Hard water deposits can leave hair dull, stiff, and harder to manage. This 33.8 oz Malibu C formula targets mineral residue and product buildup with a blend of provitamin B5, citric acid, and flax protein to cleanse thoroughly without stripping natural oils. It’s formulated for color-treated and processed hair and designed to be used as part of a two-step hard-water hair care routine.

How does this shampoo remove hard water buildup without drying hair out?

The formula uses chelating and clarifying ingredients to break apart mineral deposits while conditioning agents help retain moisture. Citric acid helps dissolve calcium and magnesium particles, and provitamin B5 and flax protein help smooth and hydrate the hair shaft.

• Citric acid assists with mineral removal and gentle pH balancing
• Provitamin B5 adds moisturized body and reduces roughness
• Flax protein helps strengthen and improve hair texture
• Sulfate-free surfactants cleanse without over-stripping lipids

When should I use Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Shampoo in my routine?

Use it as your primary clarifying cleanse when you notice dullness, stiffness, or slow product performance caused by hard water. For heavier mineral accumulation, follow with Malibu C Hard Water Remedy and then your regular hard water conditioner for optimal results.

• Apply to wet hair and lather thoroughly to target buildup
• Rinse and repeat for a full detox if needed
• Follow with Malibu C Hard Water Remedy & Hard Water Conditioner

Is this shampoo safe for color-treated or processed hair?

Yes — the sulfate-free, plant-based formula is designed to clarify without stripping color or weakening processed hair. The conditioning components help preserve vibrancy and manageability while removing unwanted mineral deposits.

• Formulated without sulfates and parabens
• Vegan and cruelty-free ingredients suitable for colored hair
• Helps restore shine without causing discoloration

What immediate benefits can I expect after one wash?

After rinsing, hair typically feels lighter and looks shinier as mineral residue and surface buildup are removed. You’ll often notice improved softness, easier detangling, and better responsiveness to styling and conditioners.

• Reduced dullness and increased natural luster
• Improved softness and smoother texture
• Better performance from leave-in and conditioning products
