Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Shampoo & Conditioner Duo, 33.8 oz — Sulfate-Free Clarifying & Hydrating

Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Shampoo and Conditioner Duo is a vegan, sulfate- and paraben-free clarifying set that removes mineral buildup from hard water while restoring shine and manageability.

Hard water minerals, pool chemicals and daily residue can make hair feel dry, dull and difficult to style. This duo pairs a deep-cleansing shampoo with a hydrating conditioner formulated with provitamin B5, citric acid, flax and rice proteins to lift deposits and replenish moisture without harsh sulfates or parabens. It’s intended as a regular detox step to protect hair from recurring waterborne elements while supporting softness and shine.

How does this duo remove hard water buildup without stripping natural oils?

The shampoo uses targeted clarifying ingredients to loosen and wash away mineral deposits, while the formula avoids strong sulfates that can over-dry hair. The conditioner follows to rebalance hydration and smooth the cuticle, leaving hair clean but not brittle.

• Deep-cleansing action removes calcium and mineral residue
• Citric acid helps dissolve scale without aggressive surfactants
• Sulfate-free base preserves natural oils and color-treated hair
• Provitamin B5 and plant proteins restore softness after detox

Will this set work on colored, processed, or fragile hair?

The formula is developed to be gentle enough for colored and chemically treated hair while providing clarifying power to remove impurities that dull color and texture. It cleans without causing discoloration and supports manageability for delicate strands.

• Safe for color-treated and processed hair—no bleaching or stripping effects
• Plant-based proteins help strengthen weakened fibers
• Paraben- and sulfate-free to reduce risk of further damage
• Recommended weekly use as a maintenance detox for processed hair

How should I use the Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Shampoo & Conditioner effectively?

Use the shampoo on wet hair to work a clarifying lather that lifts buildup; rinse thoroughly. Apply the conditioner mid-length to ends, allow a short working time if hair needs extra hydration, then rinse for smooth, detangled hair.

• Apply shampoo to wet hair, massage until deposits loosen, then rinse
• Follow with conditioner from mid-lengths to ends, lather lightly, rinse
• Use at least once weekly or as needed after heavy mineral exposure
• For persistent buildup, repeat the clarifying step once during a wash

What specific ingredients help bring back shine and manageability?

This duo combines provitamin B5 for moisture retention, citric acid to address mineral scale, and flax and rice proteins that smooth and fortify the hair shaft. Together these ingredients clarify, hydrate and leave hair easier to style and more reflective of light.

• Provitamin B5 (panthenol) improves hydration and elasticity
• Citric acid aids in dissolving hard water minerals and residue
• Flax and rice proteins strengthen and enhance surface smoothness
• Vegan, plant-based formulation avoids harsh synthetic additives
