Pure Scent Free Shampoo — gentle cleansing with no added fragrance
If you’re looking for a scent free shampoo that feels calm and simple on the scalp, our Pure Shampoo is designed for everyday comfort — especially if you’re avoiding perfume, essential oils, or strongly scented hair products. This fragrance free shampoo is also a paraben free shampoo, made to cleanse without leaving hair feeling stripped or “squeaky”.
We keep the formula intentionally minimal, so it suits a wide range of hair types — including those who prefer a perfume free shampoo as part of a gentler routine.

Customer review:
“I'm loving the pure fragrance free shampoo. Loving it so much that I've now bought the biggest size! It's lovely and creamy to use; it lathers up beautifully and rinses away beautifully too. My hair feels clean and cared for, and looks OK too!”
A calm cleanse for hair and scalp
Many shampoos rely on strong scent or heavy conditioning agents to create a “clean” feeling. Pure Shampoo focuses on the basics: gentle cleansing, a comfortable finish, and hair that feels fresh and manageable. If you’ve found scented products feel overwhelming, switching to a pure shampoo can be a surprisingly simple reset.
Because it contains no added fragrance, it’s also a great option if you’re trying to reduce the number of fragranced products in your bathroom routine.
Key ingredients and actives
We highlight the key ingredients customers ask about most — the full INCI is always available in the Ingredients dropdown on the product page (and should be your reference point for the complete list).
-
Organic aloe (Aloe barbadensis leaf juice powder): helps support a softer feel through the lengths and can feel comforting on the scalp.
-
Plum fruit extract (Prunus domestica fruit extract): known for helping hair feel nourished and smooth-looking, with a naturally conditioning feel.
-
Hibiscus flower extract (Hibiscus sabdariffa flower extract): rich in naturally occurring compounds often used in haircare for shine and a healthy-looking finish.
-
Guar conditioning agent (Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride): helps reduce flyaways and static, supporting easier combing and less tugging through hair.
What does “scent free” mean here?
Our Pure Shampoo contains no added fragrance and no essential oils. Like all shampoos, it may have a very light, natural “clean” aroma from the raw materials themselves — but there is no perfume added to create a scent. If you’re shopping specifically for a perfume free shampoo, this is the experience we designed it for.
How to use
- Wet hair thoroughly.
- Massage a small amount into the scalp first, then work through the lengths.
- Rinse well. If you use styling products, a second gentle cleanse can help.
- Follow with our matching conditioner for best slip and softness.
To complete the routine, pair with Pure Fragrance Free Conditioner.
Want a shampoo with an aromatic botanical scent?
If you love the idea of a plant-based wash but prefer a naturally aromatic option, you may also like our Cypress and Sage Shampoo, made with essential oils for a fresh herbal feel.
And for dry ends or a little extra softness, a tiny amount of Organic Argan Oil can be a lovely finishing step on damp hair.

Is it a perfume free shampoo?
Yes — there’s no perfume added for scent, which is why many customers choose it as a perfume free shampoo option.
Is it an unscented shampoo?
It’s designed to feel “unscented” in use, with no fragrance added. If you’re very scent-sensitive, you may still notice a mild, neutral base aroma from raw materials (not added perfume).
