Ingredients

Our shampoo bars bars use gentle cleansers and moisturisers such as organic shea butter, apricot and perilla oil which smooth your hair cuticle to create naturally soft, shiny hair.

At Inanna's we know that a healthy scalp equals beautiful hair, so all of our bars are PH balanced and contain organic inulin from chicory root. This is a probiotic which cares for your scalp as well as your hair, supporting the skin's microbiome and soothing irritation, while boosting smoothness and shine of the hair strand.

The ingredients work together to encourage your scalp to balance oil production naturally, so your hair feels smooth, moisturised and stays cleaner for longer. 

We prefer to use the natural fragrance and colour found in organic essential oils; no artificial colours or fragrance is used. 

Below you will find a glossary of our haircare ingredients. You will find out exactly what we have used, why it's great for your hair and where it has come from.
