Restore moisture, softness, and shine to dry, brittle hair with this intensive hydrating shampoo. Formulated with the patented Aquaxyl complex, it provides a deep surge of moisture to both the hair shaft and the scalp, helping to prevent dryness and strengthen your hair's foundation. Gentle yet effective, it cleanses without stripping essential oils, making it an excellent choice for hair weakened by colouring, heat styling, or environmental stressors.

Dealing with hair that feels dry, frizzy, or brittle can be frustrating. This shampoo is designed to bring back life and moisture, leaving your hair feeling soft and manageable from the first wash.

• Who It's For: Ideal for individuals with dry, damaged, brittle, frizzy, or colour-treated hair. Also suitable for those with a dry or normal scalp.
• What It Does: Gently cleanses while providing intense, lasting hydration to hair strands and the scalp. It helps repair damage, reduce frizz, and restore a healthy shine.
• Key Ingredients: Aquaxyl™ (Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol) for multi-level hydration, Hydrolyzed Keratin & Collagen to strengthen and smooth.
• Texture & Scent: A rich, creamy lather with a pleasant, fresh professional salon scent.
• Expected Results: Immediately softer, more manageable hair. With consistent use, expect improved hydration, reduced frizz, and stronger-feeling hair.

1. Cleanse: Wet hair and scalp thoroughly. Lather a coin-sized amount of the CP-1 Aquaxyl Shampoo in your palms and massage into the scalp and roots. Work the lather down to the ends.
2. Rinse: Rinse completely with lukewarm water.
3. Condition (Recommended): Follow with a hydrating conditioner or hair treatment, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends.

Note: Already have a conditioner you love? This shampoo pairs well with most hydrating or repairing treatments.

For best results, integrate this shampoo into your regular washing schedule.

• Amount: Use a coin-sized amount (approx. 5-10ml), adjusting for hair length and thickness. A little creates a rich lather.
• Method: Apply to wet hair. Focus on massaging the scalp with your fingertips for at least 30-60 seconds to cleanse thoroughly and stimulate circulation. Allow the lather to run down the hair shafts to cleanse the ends without harsh rubbing.
• Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse with lukewarm water until your hair feels clean and free of suds. Inadequate rinsing can lead to buildup.
• Frequency: Use as you normally would wash your hair.
  • For dry or damaged hair, 2-4 times a week is often sufficient.
  • For normal or slightly oily hair, you can use it every 1-2 days as needed.

Pro-Tip for a Deeper Cleanse: If you use a lot of styling products, you can shampoo twice. The first wash breaks down product buildup, and the second wash provides a deeper clean to the scalp and hair.

This shampoo is gentle enough for regular use. Here’s how to fit it into your week based on your hair type.

• For Dry, Damaged, or Colour-Treated Hair (Focus on Moisture):
  • Wash Days (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, Friday): Use the CP-1 Aquaxyl Shampoo followed by a deep conditioner or hair treatment like the CP-1 Premium Hair Treatment.
  • Non-Wash Days: Allow your natural oils to nourish your scalp and hair.
• For Normal to Combination Hair (Focus on Balance):
  • Wash Days (e.g., Every Other Day): Use the CP-1 Aquaxyl Shampoo. You can alternate between a lightweight conditioner and a more intensive treatment weekly.
• For Oily Scalp with Dry Ends:
  • Wash Days (as needed): Use this shampoo, focusing the massage on the scalp. Ensure you only apply conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends to avoid weighing down the roots. You might alternate this with a clarifying shampoo once a week if you experience significant buildup.

Patience and consistency are key to restoring hair health. Here is a realistic timeline for results when using this shampoo as part of a consistent routine.

• Immediate (After 1-2 Uses): Hair feels noticeably softer, cleaner, and easier to detangle. Scalp feels refreshed without feeling tight or stripped.
• After 2-4 Weeks: You should notice a significant improvement in hydration levels. Frizz is more controlled, and your hair appears healthier and shinier. Dryness and brittleness are visibly reduced.
• After 8+ Weeks (Long-Term): With continued use, hair feels stronger and more resilient. The scalp's moisture barrier is healthier, leading to less dryness or irritation. The cumulative effects of protein and moisture ingredients help to minimize the appearance of split ends and breakage.

This shampoo offers a modern, scientifically-backed approach to cleansing that replaces outdated or harsh habits.

• Why This, Not Harsh Sulfate Shampoos? Many traditional shampoos use strong sulfates (like SLS) that create a stripping, "squeaky clean" feeling. This actually removes too many natural oils, damaging the hair's protective layer and causing the scalp to overproduce oil in response. This gentle, sulfate-free formula cleanses effectively without causing dryness or irritation, maintaining a healthy moisture balance.
• Why This, Not Skipping Conditioner on Oily Hair? Some people with oily roots avoid conditioner, fearing it will make hair greasy. However, the hair shafts (especially the ends) still need moisture. This shampoo cleanses gently, and when paired with a conditioner applied only to the mid-lengths and ends, it helps balance the hair—preventing oily roots and dry, frizzy ends.

This hydrating shampoo works as a perfect foundation for a repairing or moisturizing hair care routine.

• ✅ Works Well With:
  • Hydrating & Repairing Conditioners: Pairs perfectly with conditioners that contain proteins (keratin, collagen), ceramides, and natural oils to complete the nourishing process.
  • Hair Treatments & Masks: Using this shampoo first creates a clean canvas, allowing deep treatments and masks to penetrate more effectively.
  • Leave-in Conditioners & Serums: A clean, hydrated base helps leave-in products distribute evenly and work better.
• ⚠️ Use Carefully With:
  • Heavy Scalp Treatments: If you use a very oily or thick scalp treatment *before* shampooing, you may need to wash twice to ensure all residue is removed.
• ❌ Avoid On:
  • This product is a rinse-off shampoo. It is not intended to be left on the scalp or hair.

• 🟢 Excellent For:
  • Dry Scalp & Hair: The Aquaxyl complex provides essential moisture to prevent flakiness and tightness.
  • Damaged or Brittle Hair: Hydrolyzed proteins help fortify and smooth weakened hair strands.
  • Colour-Treated Hair: The gentle, sulfate-free formula helps preserve colour vibrancy by preventing the stripping effect of harsh cleansers.
  • Frizzy Hair: By improving hydration, it helps to smooth the hair cuticle and reduce frizz caused by humidity.
• 🟡 Good For:
  • Normal Hair & Scalp: Provides a great balance of cleansing and moisture to maintain hair health.
  • Combination Hair (Oily Scalp, Dry Ends): Effectively cleanses the scalp without further drying out the ends.
• 🔴 Use With Caution:
  • Very Oily Scalp: While it cleanses well, those with extremely oily scalps might find they need to wash more frequently or alternate with a clarifying shampoo once a week to manage excess sebum.

This shampoo is formulated to address the root causes of several common hair and scalp issues:

• Hair & Scalp Dehydration: Directly tackles dryness by delivering moisture with the Aquaxyl™ complex, helping to restore the scalp's barrier and hydrate hair from within.
• Damage & Brittleness: Infuses hair with hydrolyzed proteins like keratin and collagen, which temporarily patch and reinforce the hair's structure, making it feel stronger and less prone to breakage.
• Frizz & Flyaways: By intensely moisturizing the hair shaft, it helps to smooth the outer cuticle layer, resulting in less frizz and a sleeker appearance, especially in humid climates like Mauritius.
• Dullness & Lack of Shine: Cleanses away dulling residue and smooths the hair cuticle, which improves light reflection and restores a natural, healthy shine.

• MFDS Classification: Cosmetic. This product is classified as a general cosmetic in South Korea and is not a functional cosmetic for treating specific medical conditions like hair loss.

The manufacturer of this ingredient (Seppic) provides clinical data demonstrating its ability to boost skin/scalp hydration, optimize water circulation, and reinforce the skin barrier by increasing ceramide synthesis. The claims for strengthening and repair are based on the known function of hydrolyzed proteins (keratin, collagen) to temporarily fill gaps in the hair cuticle.

Disclaimer: This product is a cosmetic intended for cleansing and moisturizing hair and scalp. It is not a medical treatment for dermatological conditions. For persistent scalp issues, please consult a healthcare professional.

Key Actives Explained:

• Aquaxyl™ (Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol): A patented sugar-derived complex that captures and retains moisture. It works on multiple levels: reinforcing the skin/scalp barrier to prevent water loss (TEWL) and optimizing water reserves within the skin.
• Hydrolyzed Keratin & Hydrolyzed Collagen: These are proteins that have been broken down into smaller molecules, allowing them to penetrate the hair shaft. They temporarily patch damaged areas of the cuticle, adding strength, reducing porosity, and making hair feel smoother.
• Glycerin: A classic humectant that draws moisture from the air into the hair and scalp, providing lasting hydration.
• Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate & Cocamidopropyl Betaine: A blend of gentle, sulfate-free surfactants that effectively cleanse away oil and dirt without the harsh, stripping effect of traditional sulfates like SLS/SLES.

Full INCI List:

Water, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Lauryl Glucoside, Glycerin, Lauramide DEA, PPG-3 Caprylyl Ether, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol, Glucose, Panthenol, Salicylic Acid, Betaine, Citric Acid, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Dimethiconol, TEA-Dodecylbenzenesulfonate, Polyquaternium-10, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Chloride, 1,2-Hexanediol, Methylpropanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance ("Parfum"/"Fragrance"). The scent is generally described by users as a clean, fresh, and pleasant professional salon-like fragrance. Intensity is moderate during washing and lingers subtly on the hair.
• Allergen Profile: This product is formulated without common harsh sulfates (SLS/SLES). However, it contains fragrance, which can be a potential sensitizer for individuals with very reactive skin or fragrance allergies. The European Union's list of 26 common fragrance allergens are not explicitly declared, but may be present within the "Fragrance" ingredient.

We recommend a patch test on the skin behind the ear or on the inner elbow if you have a known history of fragrance sensitivity.

• For External Use Only: Keep out of reach of children.
• Avoid Eye Contact: If the product enters your eyes, rinse immediately with clean water.
• Discontinue Use if Irritation Occurs: While formulated to be gentle, individual sensitivities can occur. If you experience redness, itching, or irritation on your scalp, stop use and consult a professional if symptoms persist.
• Patch Testing for Sensitive Scalps: If you have a highly sensitive or reactive scalp, we recommend a patch test. Apply a small amount of the shampoo to a discreet area of your scalp (e.g., behind the ear) and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing. Wait 24-48 hours to ensure no reaction occurs before full use.
• Use on Children & Teens: This is an adult formula. For tweens and teens, it is generally safe, but focus on basic hair care needs unless there is significant damage or dryness. Avoid strong actives for younger users unless guided by a clinician.

• Texture: A smooth, moderately thick gel-lotion consistency that spreads easily.
• Lather: Creates a rich, dense, and creamy foam, despite being sulfate-free.
• Feel During Use: Hair feels coated in a soft lather. It cleanses without creating a "squeaky" or tangled feeling.
• Rinse-Off: Rinses cleanly without leaving a heavy or greasy residue. Hair feels soft and hydrated even before applying conditioner.
• pH Level: While not officially published, professional shampoos like this are typically formulated at a slightly acidic pH (around 4.5-5.5) to help keep the hair cuticle smooth and healthy.

• Issue: My hair feels a little weighed down after use.
  • Solution: You might be using too much product, or not rinsing thoroughly enough. Try using a smaller amount (a little goes a long way) and spend an extra 30 seconds rinsing, especially at the roots and nape of the neck.
• Issue: My very oily scalp doesn't feel clean enough.
  • Solution: This is an intense moisture shampoo. For very oily scalps, consider shampooing twice in one wash. The first lather breaks down heavy oils, and the second provides a deeper cleanse. Alternatively, alternate this shampoo with a clarifying or scalp-focused shampoo once a week.
• Issue: I'm not seeing dramatic results after one wash.
  • Solution: Hair repair is a gradual process. This shampoo provides immediate softness, but its strengthening and deep hydrating benefits are cumulative. Use it consistently for at least 2-4 weeks to see a noticeable difference in hair health.

This shampoo is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate for several reasons:

• Humidity & Frizz Control: The high humidity in Mauritius can cause the hair cuticle to swell, leading to frizz. The deep moisturizing properties of this shampoo help to smooth the cuticle, making hair more resistant to ambient moisture and reducing frizz.
• Sun & Sea Repair: Frequent exposure to sun, saltwater, and chlorine can leave hair dry, brittle, and damaged. This shampoo's blend of hydrating agents and repairing proteins is perfect for restoring moisture and strength to hair stressed by an outdoor, island lifestyle.
• Hard Water Friendly: It is formulated with gentle, modern surfactants that perform better in hard water than traditional soaps, helping to prevent mineral buildup that can leave hair feeling dull and rough.
• Lightweight Hydration: Despite its "intense moisture" name, it doesn't weigh hair down, making it comfortable for use in warm weather.

• Our Sourcing Promise: At Adilsons, we are committed to your skin and hair's safety. This product is sourced directly from authorized distributors in South Korea. We guarantee it is 100% authentic.
• How to Check Authenticity: Authentic CP-1 products feature high-quality packaging with clear, professional printing in both Korean and English. Look for the batch number and expiration date printed on the packaging. The texture and scent should match the descriptions provided.

The performance of this shampoo is supported by the established science of its key ingredients.

• Ingredient Rationale (Aquaxyl™): The ingredient manufacturer provides data from instrumental tests and self-assessment studies showing that Aquaxyl™ can increase epidermal hydration, reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) by 20% after 24 hours, and boost the synthesis of key barrier lipids like ceramides within 29 days. This supports its role in deeply hydrating the scalp and hair.
• Ingredient Rationale (Hydrolyzed Proteins): The use of hydrolyzed keratin and collagen is a well-established practice in hair care. Scientific literature confirms that these small protein fragments can adsorb onto the hair cuticle, temporarily filling in gaps and cracks caused by damage. This reinforces the hair fiber, improves elasticity, and creates a smoother surface that reflects more light, resulting in a shinier, stronger feel.

• Size: 100ml
• Typical Dose: Approx. 5-10ml per wash, depending on hair length.
• Estimated Uses Per Bottle:
  • Short to Medium Hair (~5ml dose): Approx. 20 washes.
  • Long Hair (~10ml dose): Approx. 10 washes.
• Reorder Cadence (Example): If you have medium-length hair and wash it 3 times per week, this 100ml bottle will last approximately 6-7 weeks. This travel-friendly size is perfect for trying out the product or for use on the go.

For ultimate hair repair and hydration, pair this shampoo with a targeted conditioner and treatment from the CP-1 line.
