Aloe Vera Shampoo

The Rahua Aloe Vera Shampoo is a balancing shampoo for all hair types – especially when the scalp is sensitive or tends to feel dry, unbalanced, or weighed down by styling residue. Its lightweight, creamy texture thoroughly cleanses the hair and scalp, leaving the hair feeling fresh and cared for without unnecessarily weighing down the lengths.

Aloe vera, cucumber extract, and witch hazel provide moisture and support a pleasantly clear, balanced scalp feel. Rahua, morete, and sacha inchi oils complement the formula with plant-based care, while guayusa, calendula, and green tea round off the botanical composition. The delicate scent of fresh cucumber feels crisp, light, and pleasantly subtle.

The balanced formula combines thorough cleansing with lightweight plant-based care. Aloe vera and plant-based glycerin help retain moisture in the hair and scalp. Cucumber extract provides a refreshing care experience, while witch hazel is traditionally valued for its clarifying and balancing properties.

Rahua oil is rich in omega-9 fatty acids and supports smooth, naturally shiny lengths. Morete and sacha inchi oils complement the care with valuable lipids without making the hair feel heavy. Hydrolyzed quinoa helps the hair surface look cared for and smooth and improves manageability.

The result is clean, lightweight hair that looks cared for, with natural shine and a pleasantly fresh scalp feel.

Who is it for?

The Rahua Aloe Vera Shampoo is suitable for all hair types. It is particularly well suited to sensitive, occasionally unbalanced, or dry-prone scalps, as well as fine to normal hair that needs thorough cleansing without a heavy feeling.

The formula is also a good choice for color-treated hair. For very dry, thick, or highly frizz-prone lengths, the Rahua Hydration Shampoo is the richer alternative.

Active ingredients

• Buriti oil, also known as morete oil, is obtained from the fruits of the buriti palm (Mauritia vinifera / Mauritia flexuosa), which is found primarily in Brazil. Buriti oil is characterized by a high concentration of oleic acid, tocopherols (vitamin precursors), provitamin A, and carotenoids, particularly a very high proportion of beta-carotene (five times that of carrots). The nourishing oil has powerful antioxidant properties, supports cell regeneration, and provides light, natural protection against UV rays. This potent anti-aging oil cares for skin and hair and may help normalize sebum production.
• Rahua (Ungurahua): For many centuries, women in the Amazon region have used the oil from this tree nut to care for and strengthen their hair. It strengthens weak and damaged hair, nourishes and maintains the health of the hair follicles and scalp, and its superfine molecules penetrate deep into the hair shaft’s pigmentation, significantly extending color retention. The skin benefits from its generous supply of omega-9 fatty acids, which firm and soothe and restore the scalp’s natural moisture balance. Rahua uses Symbiotic® Ungurahua.
• Guayusa (Ilex Guayusa) is rich in antioxidants that minimize damage caused by free radicals. It also contains a high amount of vitamin B, which supports healthy hair.
• Coconut betaine: Gently and effectively removes dirt and excess oil from the hair without disrupting the hair’s balance or moisture levels. 
• Aloe vera extract / juice (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract / Juice) provides natural moisture, helps prevent the skin from drying out, and strengthens the natural skin barrier. Aloe vera contains vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and essential amino acids. It supplies skin and hair with oxygen and is considered effective in supporting cell renewal. It binds moisture, has a cooling and anti-inflammatory effect, and is antibacterial.
• Hydrolyzed quinoa – Known to the ancient Incas as the “mother of all grains,” this gluten-free superfood revitalizes skin and hair. Rich in vitamins and amino acids, it inhibits collagen breakdown, supports connective tissue, promotes healing and moisture retention, and reduces signs of fatigue.
• Witch hazel (Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Extract) – Witch hazel leaf extract is made from the leaves and bark of the shrub. It helps remove excess oil, has an anti-inflammatory effect, and balances the skin’s pH. It is known to reduce acne and firm the skin. Its natural healing properties support a clearer complexion.
• Sacha inchi is a rare type of nut cultivated primarily in South America. The fruit is exceptionally rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, including vitamins A and E. Sacha inchi helps retain moisture in the skin and hair and soothes inflamed and itchy scalps. Its cell-activating effect provides a natural anti-aging benefit; sacha inchi improves skin firmness, softens fine lines, and may reduce pigmentation spots.
• Calendula (Calendula Officinalis Flower Oil / Extract), from the daisy family, is particularly known for its anti-inflammatory, soothing, and wound-healing effects. It also promotes collagen production and helps produce new tissue, an important process in wound healing, while carotenoids strengthen the skin barrier. It is very well tolerated and is also suitable for baby skin. Secondary plant compounds known as flavonoids have an antioxidant effect and protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.
• Alfalfa (Medicago Sativa Seed Extract) – rich in minerals, trace elements, vitamins, and amino acids, resilient alfalfa has skin-firming, detoxifying, and brightening properties. It supports the body’s natural water balance and promotes cell regeneration. The name alfalfa means “father of all food.”
• *Symbiotic® is Rahua’s signature standard. For an ingredient to be classified as Symbiotic®, it must be grown in the rainforest (wild) in undisturbed primary forests using Indigenous knowledge, sustainably harvested, and prepared. It must be traded at a price that helps preserve and maintain these traditions, build the economy, and empower Indigenous communities.
