This product did not pass Arth's ingredient audit. The confirmed ingredient list includes phenoxyethanol — a synthetic preservative on Arth's restricted list due to documented contact sensitisation in a subset of users — as well as polyquaternium-7, a synthetic conditioning polymer. The botanical actives (white tea, oat kernel extract, panthenol, calendula) are genuinely well-sourced, but the preservative and polymer system does not meet the Arth Verified bar as currently formulated.
Apply to wet scalp. Massage gently, work through lengths, and rinse thoroughly. Suitable for all hair types, particularly dry or frizzy hair. Follow with conditioner.
Sizes available: Available in 2 oz and 16 oz sizes, in fragrance-free or scented variants.
Audit finding: Not Arth Verified — failed ingredient screen (confirmed phenoxyethanol and polyquaternium-7).
