Australian Tea Tree & Menthol Clarifying Shampoo

Inspired by Pilgrim's best-selling Australian Tea Tree Non-Drying Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, this market-ready formulation is perfect for tackling scalp issues without stripping the hair of its natural moisture. By starting with VedaOils' premium Pearly Shampoo Base, you immediately achieve a luxurious, high-end retail look right out of the bottle. We supercharge this base with authentic Australian Tea Tree Essential Oil to clarify the scalp and fight dandruff-causing bacteria, while Peppermint Essential Oil delivers that signature "cool menthol" tingle your customers will crave. Finally, a generous dose of Vegetable Glycerin acts as a powerful humectant, transforming the matrix into a deeply hydrating, non-drying formula. It is an incredibly easy mix-and-pour B2B project that yields a high-margin product for your clean-beauty brand!
