• Legends from the ancients tell us about the magical power contained in the hair. The stories of Rapunzel, the biblical myth of Samson, the beliefs of Navajo Indians that in the hair are born thoughts and creative ideas. Are those stories fact or fiction? After all, hair, just like skin, is one of the leading indicators of the state of health; this is a scientific fact. Shiny and silky hair signals that all body systems are functioning normally. However, even if we take care of our health, eat healthily and avoid stress, our hair can be damaged by lousy ecology and improper maintenance. Modern shampoos often contain extremely harmful synthetic compounds, such as sulfates, parabens, and silicones. These substances have a short-term visual effect, but with regular use, they destroy the structure of the hair, lead to dryness or excessive greasiness of the scalp, and can cause harm to the entire organism.
  
  Silk Dreams Shampoo is a 100% natural remedy and consists exclusively of vegetable-origin ingredients: soft hypoallergenic surfactants, herbal extracts, and essential oils. The basis of any shampoo is detergents or surface-active substances - they fight dirt and grease and make a delicate, airy foam. We use as surfactants only harmless natural compounds that do not dry hair, do not irritate the skin, and are suitable for all hair types.
  
  For curly hair, we created a unique formula with Gotu Kola extract. Indonesia, this plant is known as the "grass of Saraswati" - named after the goddess of knowledge and arts. Gotu Kola has been used for thousands of years to stimulate growth and improve hair sheen. It is a powerful anti-oxidant with toning and rejuvenating properties, improves blood circulation and cell exchange in the scalp, and strengthens hair follicles and hair. It also prevents hair loss and gives hair elasticity and smoothness. The natural menthol, made from peppermint, in combination with essential oils of lavender, orange, patchouli, and cedar, will give you a feeling of freshness and make your hair strong, soft, and manageable.

The shampoo is recommended for curly hair. Shake well before use. Apply to wet hair, massage gently to rich lather, and rinse with warm water.

• Water (Aqua)
• Sodium Cocoamphoacetate: Sodium Cocoamphoacetate is a plant origin surfactant based on coconut oil fatty acids. This harmless and hypoallergenic ingredient is widely used in "green cosmetics" instead of aggressive synthetic surfactants. It has very mild detergent properties, promotes foaming, and gives a delicate texture to cosmetic products. As part of hair care products, it not only delicately removes dirt but also acts as a conditioner. It restores damaged hair structure, improves elasticity, moisturizes, enhances shine, and makes styling easier. When contacted with the skin, it gently cleans it, promotes deeper penetration of the active components of cosmetics into the horny layer of the skin. It forms an invisible lubricant film on the skin surface, which protects against dehydration and adverse effects of the external environment and ideal for all skin types, susceptible and problem skin.
• Palm Kernel/Coco Glucoside: Coco-Glucoside is a very delicate, non-ionic surfactant derived from plant ingredients. It is produced by fermenting coconut pulp (or coconut oil) and fruit sugar (glucose). Coco-Glucoside is used as a cleaning agent, foaming agent, emulsifier, and conditioner in natural cosmetics. As a part of a whole range of cosmetics, e.g., shampoo, shower gel, bath foam, liquid soap, facial foam, it helps to mix water and oil components, gently removes dirt, and creates soft, lush foam. Due to its mild effect, Coco-Glucoside is an ideal ingredient in cosmetics for sensitive and children's skin. It moisturizes and cares, making the skin smooth and hair - radiant and silky. It is an ecologically friendly and completely biodegradable product.
• Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate: It is a mild surfactant of plant origin, obtained by synthesizing glutamic acid and coconut oil fatty acids. The importance of glutamic acid for the body is difficult to overestimate: it promotes the production of histamine and serotonin, neutralizes and removes ammonia and other toxins from the body; in addition, it is a neurotransmitter, participating in the process of transmission of nerve impulses in the brain. Glutamic acid is indispensable for skin health and normal functioning:
  - It stimulates cellular regeneration, microcirculation, and collagen synthesis.
  - It strengthens the protective layer of the epidermis and hair.
  - It moisturizes, cleans, and narrows the pores.
  This amino acid hAs an antioxidant, healing, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory effect. It softens the skin and increases its elasticity. It is used as a foaming agent, mild detergent, and emulsifier in cosmetic products, such as facial foam cleansers, shampoos, hair conditioners, and cosmetics for kids. Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate slows the oxidation of lipids of the skin and maintains its protective functions. It normalizes the pH level, gives the skin softness, silky smoothness, gently cleanses impurities, and creates an invisible protective film on the surface of the epidermis, preventing evaporation of moisture. Due to its antibacterial properties, this eco-friendly and biodegradable ingredient reduces the number of preservatives in cosmetics.
• Decyl Glucoside: The mild non-ionic surfactant is prepared from coconut fatty acids.
  Ideal for children's sensitive skin. Its composition has active ingredients that soften skin effectively and possess good foaming properties.
• Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate: Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate is a multifunctional surfactant of plant origin. It is most commonly derived from fermented sugar beets, vegetable oil, and palm sugar. In chemistry, it is the ester of the sodium salt of stearic and lactic acid; it is used in detergents, various shampoos, cosmetic creams, and food. This additive is harmless to human health, both for internal and external use. Clinical studies have recognized this substance as non-toxic and hypoallergenic because both lactic and stearic acids are the usual products of human metabolism. Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate acts as an emulsifier; it helps otherwise immiscible ingredients, such as oil and water, to mix. In addition, it promotes deeper penetration of the active cosmetic components into the skin, and it also is an excellent emollient and moisturizer.
• Lactobacillus/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate: How nice to pick the bright and juicy radishes straight from the garden on a hot summer day and make a crispy, healthy salad! Do you know that eco-cosmetics manufacturers use fermented red radish filtrate as a safe alternative to invasive synthetic preservatives? This natural herbal preparation, known in International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) as Lactobacillus/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, is produced by Lactobacillus lactic-acid bacterium during the fermentation of the red radishes. This process is identical to the fermentation of, for example, sauerkraut or kimchi. Lactic-acid bacteria, being placed into a particular nutritional medium, produce unique self-defense antimicrobial peptides called bacteriocins. Due to the acidification of their environment, they prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi, yeast, and mold in the final product. It provides a broad spectrum of antimicrobial protection. This natural preservative has a very mild effect, it does not dry nor irritate the epidermis, and it’s suitable even for sensitive baby skin.
• Lactobacillus/Coconut Fruit Juice Ferment Filtrate: A sip of fresh coconut juice on a hot tropical afternoon – that is the heavenly delight! Refreshing and gentle as a cool sea breeze, coconut juice instantly quenches thirst and rejuvenates the body. Its’ high nutritional value and energizing effect are owing to its unique combination of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Functional properties of coconut juice do not end there: researchers have found that fermented coconut juice can maintain the freshness of natural cosmetics. This natural preservative, obtained by fermentation of coconut juice by Lactobacillus bacteria, protects cosmetic compositions from the growth of fungi, yeasts, and molds. Such decisive antimicrobial action is based on the alliance of triglycerides of lauric acid contained in coconuts and lactic acid bacteria, which produce particular substances that inhibit the growth of microorganisms. In addition, as a cosmetic ingredient, fermented coconut juice moisturizes and nourishes the skin, saturating it with valuable micronutrients. It is ideal for sensitive skin prone to irritation, as its soft formula does not dry the epidermis.
• Vegetable Glycerin: Our glycerin derived from coconut oil has nothing to do with glycerin obtained by chemical synthesis. Hypoallergenic with good skin penetration are all essential qualities: attracts water from the outside, even at relatively low humidity. We are increasing the capacity of moisturizing ingredients included in the recipe and improving the penetration of active substances into the deeper layers of the skin.
• Centella Asiatica Extract (Gotu Kola): Gotu Kola is an Indian herb that the local population has traditionally used to treat the nervous system and treat skin diseases. The extract of this plant contains asiaticosides and triterpenes, which affect the metabolism of connective tissue, increase the synthesis of tissue proteins, increase fibroblasts' activity, and stimulate collagen formation around the venous membrane, thereby providing a regenerating and venotonic effect. The active substances of Gotu Kola improve wound healing, with better epithelialization and normalization around the vascular connective tissue, allowing you to raise the tone and enhance the appearance of the skin.
• Sucrose Cocoate: Sucrose Cocoate is a polysaccharide, a derivative of sucrose esters and coconut oil fatty acids. It is obtained from natural sugar (most commonly cane or beet sugar) and coconut oil. This substance has become widespread in "green" cosmetics due to its very gentle and delicate action. In the composition of hair-care products, Sucrose Cocoate has conditioning and antistatic effect. It promotes smooth combing, making your hair silky and shiny. In body and facial creams, lotions, and cleansers, prevents skin dryness and peeling. In addition, it softens, relieves itching, and soothes the skin. Moisturizing benefits are provided due to the properties of polysaccharides. In connection with water, they form an invisible film on the surface of the skin or hair with high moisture retention capacity. As an auxiliary component, Sucrose Cocoate acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer, mixing the oil components with water and preventing the separation of the emulsion created by it. It also promotes the formation of thick but soft and gentle foam and increases the viscosity of cosmetic products. As a natural emollient and refatting component, it provides an accelerated recovery of the skin barrier after cleansing; it prevents the removal of vital structural lipids from the epidermis; gives the skin and hair a well-groomed appearance, smoothness, elasticity, and silky smoothness. It is a completely biodegradable product.
• Brassica Oleracea Italica Seed Oil (Broccoli): We call broccoli a queen in the world of vegetables, with its bright green inflorescences in the shape of a crown. Juicy and crispy, broccoli is the record-holder for the content of vitamins C, K, and A, which are vastly crucial for proper blood circulation, tissue growth, acute vision, skin elasticity, protection from infections, and immune system reinforcement. In medieval Europe, this plant was called "Italian asparagus". Its homeland is in modern Italy, where broccoli has been harvested since the Ancient Rome era. In the twentieth century, scientists studied the chemical composition of inflorescences and seeds of this cabbage; they found a high concentration of proteins, vitamins, and minerals, such as calcium, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus, as well as a unique combination of fatty acids. The primary role in this composition is played by Omega-6 unsaturated fatty acids, called erucic and linoleic. They are responsible for reducing cholesterol, maintaining glucose levels in the blood, strengthening immunity, reducing inflammation, and preventing cancer. Linoleic (Omega-6) and linolenic (Omega-3) fatty acids are the most potent antioxidants. They help us stay young and avoid skin problems such as eczema, dermatitis, flaking, hair breaking, and hair loss. Broccoli seed oil, especially cold-pressed, is created by nature to maintain beautiful hair: it is capable of restoring damaged hair, strengthening brittle, dry, and split strands, nourishing hair follicles, and scalp care. Cosmetics with broccoli oil can replace harmful synthetic hair silicones. This oil creates an invisible protective film on each hair surface, helping it remain moisturized, smooth, and shiny. At the same time, it has a very light texture, with no greasy feeling; it does not weigh hair, and no rinsing is required. Broccoli oil is hypoallergenic and suitable for all skin and hair types.
• Sorbitol: Many people know that sorbitol is a healthy substitute for regular sugar in diet beverages and food. However, this substance is also widely used in cosmetics: shampoos and hair conditioners, body and facial creams, aftershave lotions, toothpaste, and soaps. Sorbitol is a natural substance found in starchy berries and fruits: rowanberries, plums, apples, pears, peaches, and some types of seaweed. For industrial purposes, the most common natural source is corn or tapioca.
  In its chemical composition, sorbitol is a polyatomic sugar alcohol. One of the most exciting properties of sorbitol is hygroscopicity, that is, the ability to derive water from the environment. Sorbitol retains water on the surface of the epidermis, helping the skin maintain its moisture reserves. It is best performing in conjunction with other moisturizing ingredients in a cosmetic composition. In addition, it prevents premature hardening and drying of cosmetics. Sorbitol softens and moisturizes the skin, removes peeling, and prevents inflammation. As an ingredient in shampoo, it cares for thin and damaged hair, improves their condition, and returns shine. It has excellent conditioning properties.
  Also, sorbitol can act as a natural thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer, improving the texture of cosmetic products, giving them softness, velvetiness, and a pleasant sweet fragrance.
• Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride: For many thousands of years, an annual legume known worldwide as guar or cluster bean has been harvested in India and Pakistan. In ancient times, guar seeds have been used for food due to their high nutritional value. In modern industry, this plant is more valued as a source of guar gum. It is obtained from the internal part of the seeds, called endosperm, by simple mechanical grinding, without any chemical processes. Chemically, guar gum is a polysaccharide, and a key role in its composition is galactomannan – a substance that creates a thick, viscous gel upon contact with water. Such gels in the cosmetic and food industry are called hydrocolloids; they are safe for human health with proper application. In cosmetics, guar gum acts as a stabilizer, thickener, and co-emulsifier. In emulsions, it helps to mix and stabilize water and oil base, gives a delicate creamy texture, regulates the viscosity, and has light preservative properties. In facial and body creams and lotions, guar gum cleanses, moisturizes, and softens the skin, creating a thin protective film on the surface of the epidermis. As a result, the amount of evaporated moisture decreases, and skin looks deliciously well-groomed and silky. In shampoos and hair conditioners, guar gum protects the horny layer of the skin from the aggressive action of surfactants, preventing the elution of organic lipids. Also, guar gum acts as an antistatic agent, foaming agent, and natural conditioner, giving the hair smoothness, volume, easy combing, and styling. Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride (GHPT) is a guar gum derivative with the same set of beneficial properties. It is a safe, eco-friendly, utterly biodegradable substance of plant origin.
