Collection: Clean Shampoo & Conditioner

At Credo Beauty, we pride ourselves on providing clean beauty products that are not only effective, but also safer for both consumers and the environment. Our diligent vetting process ensures that all of our products meet The Credo Clean Standard™, which excludes over 2700 potentially harmful ingredients. In addition, we have strict sustainability and packaging requirements in place to help safeguard the planet.

Sulfates are cleansing agents that create that lather we associate with shampoo. Clean and natural shampoos and conditioners often prioritize gentler alternatives for cleansing, although not all of them do. This is why we vet the products we stock very carefully and ban ingredients such as sulfates. Our clean shampoos and conditioners will give you a gentle yet effective cleanse.

Many clean brands prioritize plant-derived ingredients, naturally excluding animal products. Plus, at Credo Beauty, we prohibit or restrict many animal-derived ingredients in favor of vegan alternatives. If you’re looking to use a vegan shampoo and/or conditioner, some commonly used animal-derived ingredients to avoid are beeswax, lanolin, cholesterol, shellac, carmine, and collagen. For those with gluten sensitivity, clean products do not contain wheat or barley-derived ingredients, which minimizes the risk of irritation or allergic reactions on the scalp.

Yes, a number of brands we work with offer organic products to suit different hair types and needs. Clean organic shampoos and conditioners, as well as organic ingredients, meet stringent standards set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the USDA Organic program. You’ll find that we offer clean hair products that either use organic ingredients or are fully certified as organic.

At Credo Beauty, we only work with the best clean beauty brands on the market. We feature many great clean shampoo and conditioner brands, including Jennifer Aniston’s award-winning Lolavie, Innersense Organic Beauty, and Evolh. With many options to choose from, you're sure to find a brand that meets your specific needs and preferences.

Yes. The clean shampoos and conditioners we carry don’t contain any harsh sulfates that can strip natural oils and cause dryness and irritation. Instead, they incorporate ingredients like aloe vera or chamomile, known for their calming and anti-inflammatory properties. This can help soothe an itchy or irritated scalp. By avoiding harsh chemicals and other irritating ingredients on our Dirty List, you can achieve a healthy scalp microbiome and a calmer, more balanced scalp - laying the foundation for healthy, beautiful hair.

At Credo Beauty, we offer a range of clean shampoos and conditioners that cater to different hair types. The key is choosing the right formula based on your specific needs. For curly hair, we recommend clean products with hydrating ingredients like shea butter to define curls and combat frizz. If you have straight hair, opt for lightweight, volumizing clean formulas with ingredients like rice protein or nettle extract to add body and bounce. Choose a clean conditioner with detangling properties and a shampoo that cleanses if you have curly hair, to help maintain the delicate wave pattern.

Many of the popular clean shampoo and conditioner brands we work with cater to jet-setters with travel-sized options. Travel-sized shampoos and conditioners make it easy to maintain your clean hair care routine on the go. Brands like Lolavie, Reverie, Sienna Naturals, and Ceremonia offer their products in TSA-friendly sizes, perfect for carry-on luggage.

There’s no set legal definition for what makes a shampoo “clean”. As such, brands each have their own interpretation. At Credo Beauty, we aim to redefine “clean beauty” standards by setting the strictest criteria for all the brands we carry. The Credo Clean Standard™ bans or restricts 27,000+ potentially harmful ingredients to make sure you’re only getting the best in clean beauty.

At Credo Beauty, all haircare meets our Credo Clean Standard™, which means no: Sulfates (that cause dryness and color fading), Synthetic fragrance (a common skin and scalp irritant), Parabens (preservatives linked to health concerns), Formaldehyde-releasers, Certain silicones and petroleum-derived ingredients, And many more potentially harmful ingredients. You’ll see safer swaps like coconut-derived surfactants, aloe vera, shea butter, and argan oil.

Many people with sensitive scalps prefer our clean formulas because they’re made without harsh ingredients. Look for gentle, fragrance-free, or dermatologist-tested options if you’re particularly sensitive. Creamy, non-foaming cleansers can be especially soothing if your scalp tends to feel itchy or reactive.

You can, but your hair might go through a short “transition” phase. If you’ve been using products with heavy silicones or waxes, it may take a few washes for build-up to clear. During that time, your hair might feel a little different - but once your strands adjust, you’ll usually notice softer texture, a healthier scalp, and hair that feels cleaner for longer.
