DESCRIPTION
What is Total Balance Shampoo?
Total Balance Shampoo by NIKA is a shampoo of the Healthy Scalp line for an oily scalp and hair that gets oily quickly: it leaves the scalp clean and fresh and the hair light, in a 250 ml bottle for home use and for the wash in the salon. It is massaged into wet hair and scalp, left on for 2-3 minutes and rinsed with lukewarm water. The cleansing base combines Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Sodium Cocamphoacetate for a soft lather without SLES/SLS; the formula adds aloe leaf juice, chamomile flower oil and caper fruit extract. It pairs with Total Balance Treatment, a scrub applied before the wash.

- Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Oil: chamomile flower oil, a botanical ingredient of the formula.
- Capparis Spinosa Fruit Extract: caper fruit extract, a botanical ingredient of the formula.
