Lemon Shortbread Clarifying Shampoo Cookie

Product Description — Lemon Shortbread Clarifying Shampoo Cookie

What It Is:
A fun, effective clarifying shampoo formulated to deeply cleanse the hair and scalp while treating your senses to a delicious lemon shortbread cookie-inspired scent. Designed to remove buildup from oil, product residue and impurities, this shampoo gives hair a fresh start without stripping it completely bare.

What It Does

Deep Cleansing:
Clarifying shampoos are formulated to remove buildup from styling products, excess sebum and environmental grime that regular shampoos can miss. This helps hair feel lighter, cleaner and more manageable. (Videri Hair and Beauty)

Refreshes Scalp:
By clearing away oils and residual products, the shampoo helps the scalp breathe and stay balanced, potentially reducing dullness and limpness.

Scent Experience:
A lemon shortbread cookie-like fragrance gives the ritual a more enjoyable sensory experience — bright citrus with a soft, warm sweet note — even though the scent itself doesn’t influence performance.

Why It Works

Clarifying shampoos use a higher concentration of cleansing agents (often citric acid or natural citrus extracts) that break down stubborn build-up and oils rather than just moving them around like mild daily shampoos. Lemon or citrus-derived ingredients help naturally lift and rinse away these residues thanks to their astringent properties. (The Good Zest Company)

While the “cookie” part of the name refers to fragrance, the clarifying action comes from cleansing ingredients that target scalp and hair congestion.

Who It’s For

✔ People with oily or product-heavy hair (lots of styling products)
✔ Anyone feeling dull, flat or weighed-down hair
✔ Great before a deep treatment or mask since it lets those products penetrate better
✔ Suitable for all hair types if used appropriately — just less often on dry or brittle hair

💡 Note: Because clarifying shampoos are stronger than regular shampoos, they’re usually not for everyday use. (Videri Hair and Beauty)

How to Use

1. Wet hair thoroughly with warm water.

2. Apply a small amount to the scalp and work into a lather.

3. Massage gently — focus on the roots and scalp where buildup is heaviest.

4. Rinse completely.

5. Follow with your favorite conditioner or treatment to restore moisture.

Frequency:
Use once every 1–2 weeks (or less often if your hair is dry), since excessive clarification can strip natural oils. (Videri Hair and Beauty)
