Product Description

A non-medicated shampoo for sensitive skin. It effectively cleans both hair and scalp. Helps remove flaking and scaling and controls oily scalp. Removes build-up from conditioners, hairsprays, and other hair care products. Leaves hair clean and manageable.

To unify our brand and help eliminate confusion, the name of this product has changed to Vanicream™ Shampoo. While there is a new name on the outside, it is the same great formula on the inside!

This was once a safe product for me back in 2011 but now in 2023 has 3 ingredients I've become highly reactive to. If you have been able to use this product in the past, and it's been a number of years - have your patch testing redone?

I left a comment but do not see it here. This shampoo and conditioner is expensive but was rated green ok for me but left my head dry, red, and felt it was on fire. So far this app has not helped.

I agree with tennisplayer22 and ettason55. It may not have allergens, but it dried out my scalp and hair more than other shampoos I've tried. Maybe using the conditioner with it would help, but I'd hate to spend more money and waste a bottle of conditioner if it doesn't work.

Dear A Z Buckey - Can you shed some light on why this shampoo is listed as safe for me when it contains coconut, and caprylyl glycol - I'm finding that I have to learn the hard way that your information is frequently not up to date and not helpful. I'm one of those unfortunate people with multiple chemical allergies, and I need help to navigate all of the products in my search for safe ones. Help!

I’m not finding any shampoos I scan that give me the green ok sign. This is top free. What is the ingredient that makes it unsafe for me?

I really like this shampoo. I don’t usually use conditioner since I have oily scalp and it works great! Have been using it for the past 4 years or so. Highly recommend it!

Does not appear to be soy free.

This is one shampoo that is best used along with the conditioner. Hair is soft and healthy, and no itchy scalp.

This is by far the worst shampoo I have ever used. It felt like putting Windex in my hair. However, I am grateful that there's at least one shampoo I'm not allergic to. Overall, don't buy unless you have to.

Di sodium EDTA is a preservative and is an allergen on Tru Test panel.
Hang tight. We're thinking.
