R+Co Gemstone Color Shampoo for Color-Treated Hair — 8.5 fl oz, Frizz Control & Shine

R+Co Gemstone Color Shampoo is a vegan, cruelty-free cleanser formulated to protect color-treated hair while reducing frizz and boosting shine.

Gemstone is designed for people who color their hair and want a daily shampoo that preserves tone, improves manageability, and leaves strands glossy without weighing them down. The formula blends antioxidants and botanical extracts to help maintain color vibrancy, hydrate hair, and smooth the cuticle for less frizz and better shine. It pairs well with a color-protecting conditioner and leave-in treatments for extended color life and salon-fresh texture.

How does Gemstone help preserve my hair color?

Gemstone contains ingredients that guard against color fade and environmental stressors. Antioxidant vitamin E and lychee extract work together to minimize free radical damage and help lock in pigments so color looks fresher between salon visits.

• Vitamin E: protects hair fibers from oxidative stress that can dull color
• Lychee extract: supports tensile strength to reduce breakage and color loss
• Color-focused formulation: gentle cleansing to avoid stripping pigments

Will this shampoo control frizz without weighing hair down?

Yes — Gemstone balances moisture and lightweight smoothing to tame frizz while keeping movement. Okra seed and sunflower sprout extracts moisturize the fiber and smooth the cuticle, delivering softness and shine without heavy residue.

• Okra seed extract: hydrates scalp and strand for supple texture
• Sunflower sprout extract: controls frizz and enhances surface shine
• Light, non-greasy finish: suitable for fine to medium hair types

What does Gemstone smell like and how does the texture perform?

The scent is a fresh, earthy citrus blend that lifts the shower routine without overpowering. The shampoo lathers cleanly and rinses easily, leaving hair feeling conditioned and primed for styling.

• Fragrance profile: Sicilian lemon, tangerine, eucalyptus, green tea, tree moss, and crisp amber
• Texture: smooth, easy-foaming gel that spreads evenly
• Rinseability: no heavy buildup; hair feels lightweight yet hydrated
