DESCRIPTION
What is Gentle Relief Shampoo?
Gentle Relief Shampoo by NIKA is a shampoo of the Healthy Scalp line for a sensitive scalp: it leaves the scalp clean, fresh and comfortable and the hair soft and easy to comb, in a 250 ml bottle for home use and for the wash in the salon. It is massaged into the wet scalp, left on for 2-3 minutes and rinsed with lukewarm water. The cleansing base combines Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate with Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Sodium Cocamphoacetate for a soft lather without SLES/SLS; the formula also contains Aloe Barbadensis leaf juice, chamomile oil, Capparis Spinosa fruit extract and grape seed oil.

For significant hair loss or a persistent scalp problem, consult a dermatologist. The other shampoos of the line are compared below.
Key ingredients
- Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Sodium Cocamphoacetate: the cleansing base, an olefin sulfonate combined with two amphoteric surfactants, without SLES or SLS.
- Glycerin and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice: humectant ingredients that help keep scalp and hair moisturised after the wash.
- Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Oil and Capparis Spinosa Fruit Extract: the botanical oil and extract of the formula.
- Polyquaternium-7 and Polyquaternium-22: conditioning polymers that make the hair easier to comb after rinsing.
- Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil and Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract: grape-derived ingredients with a conditioning role.
Results
After the wash the scalp feels clean, fresh and comfortable, and the hair is soft and easy to comb thanks to the conditioning polymers. Followed by Gentle Relief Treatment, it forms the two-step Gentle Relief routine.
