Read the back before the front.

Here's what goes into each Solven product, what the key ingredients do, and the full INCI list for every formula.

Key ingredients

What's in it, and why.

The ingredients that do the work, in plain language.

Argan oil

Shampoo

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

A nourishing oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E. Helps hair feel soft and look glossy without weighing it down.

Pomegranate seed oil

Shampoo

Punica Granatum Seed Oil

A light seed oil with antioxidant compounds that helps protect hair from everyday dryness.

Gotu kola

Shampoo

Centella Asiatica Extract

A botanical extract traditionally used to soothe. Supports a calm, comfortable-feeling scalp.

Apple cider vinegar

Shampoo

Apple Cider Vinegar

Slightly acidic, so it helps balance the scalp after cleansing and leaves a natural shine.

Green tea

Shampoo

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Naturally rich in polyphenols, antioxidants that help protect hair and scalp.

Jojoba oil

Hand cream

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Technically a liquid wax, very close to the skin's own sebum. Softens without a greasy feel.

Avocado & grapeseed oils

Hand cream

Persea Gratissima Oil · Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil

A rich oil paired with a light one: deep moisture that still absorbs quickly.

Shea butter

Hand cream · Soap

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

A plant butter that helps skin stay smooth and supple, and helps prevent moisture loss.

Vitamin E

Hand cream · Soap

Tocopheryl Acetate

A stable form of vitamin E that conditions the skin and helps protect the oils in the formula.

Aloe vera

All three

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract / Juice

Soothing and hydrating. Helps skin and scalp feel comfortable after washing.

Goat milk

Soap

Goat Milk

Adds creaminess to the lather and helps the bar feel gentle on the skin. Because of it, the soap is not vegan.

Illite clay

Soap

Illite

A mineral clay that helps lift away excess oil, which makes the bar a good fit for oily and combination skin.
