Sarah K La Vie en Rose Restorative Shampoo
A gentle, sulfate-free restorative shampoo from Sarah K, the Brazilian haircare brand. The La Vie en Rose Shampoo is formulated for damaged, brittle, color-treated, and chemically processed hair that needs daily cleansing without stripping. Its pH of 5.0–5.5 is calibrated to cleanse at a level close to the scalp’s natural pH, removing impurities without disrupting the acid mantle or the results of chemical treatments. Vegan certified, sulfate-free, and paraben-free. Scented with the soft floral fragrance of the La Vie en Rose range.
Key actives and what they do
-
Myrrh Oil (Commiphora Myrrha) — The hero active of the La Vie en Rose range. A precious resin oil rich in sesquiterpenes and terpenoids that penetrates the hair fiber to restore moisture, improve elasticity, and add natural shine. Also has mild antimicrobial properties that support scalp health and help combat dandruff. Present in both the shampoo and conditioner for consistent active delivery across the full wash routine.
-
Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis) — Rich in vitamin E, oleic acid, and linoleic acid. Conditions the hair during cleansing without weighing it down. Repairs damaged strands, softens dry ends, and adds a natural gloss. Particularly effective for hair that has lost moisture and shine from chemical processing.
-
Arginine — An amino acid that supports hair fiber repair, promotes healthy strand growth, and has a mild fortifying effect. Helps reduce hair loss associated with mechanical damage and chemical processing. Works synergistically with the oils to restore both the surface and internal structure of the hair.
-
Cocamidopropyl Betaine — A mild, sulfate-free surfactant derived from coconut oil. Provides gentle cleansing without stripping the hair’s natural oils or the results of chemical treatments. The primary cleansing agent in the formula.
-
Hydroxypropyltrimonium Guar Chloride — A natural conditioning agent derived from guar beans. Detangles the hair during washing, reduces friction and breakage during rinsing, and improves manageability — particularly important for damaged hair that is prone to mechanical breakage when wet.
-
pH 5.0–5.5 — Calibrated to the scalp’s natural pH. Cleanses without over-opening the hair cuticle, preserving the results of color and chemical treatments. Pairs with the La Vie en Rose Conditioner (pH 3.0–3.5) to complete the cuticle-sealing wash routine.
What to expect
Immediate: hair feels clean, soft, and manageable after the first wash — not stripped or dry. The floral scent lingers lightly after rinsing. With consistent daily use: progressive improvement in hair hydration and strength, reduction in breakage, and a healthier, more resilient hair surface. The sulfate-free formula is gentle enough for daily washing without compromising color vibrancy or chemical treatment results.
