Aveda Sap Moss Weightless Hydration Shampoo — 6.7 fl oz, Silicone-Free Lightweight Moisture for Normal to Dry Hair

Aveda Sap Moss Weightless Hydration Shampoo is a silicone-free cleansing formula that delivers noticeable hydration to normal-to-dry hair without adding weight.

This shampoo uses a plant-forward blend featuring Iceland moss and larch sap extract to replenish moisture while gently removing buildup. Designed for people who want hydrated, manageable hair without the heavy finish of silicones, the formula is 94% naturally derived* and free from common synthetic additives. It also carries Aveda’s signature earthy scent built around jasmine, organic olibanum, and cypress.

How does this shampoo hydrate without weighing hair down?

The formula combines lightweight botanical extracts that attract and retain moisture at the strand level rather than coating hair with heavy polymers. That delivers measurable water content increase while keeping movement and bounce.

• Iceland moss and larch tree sap extract provide weightless hydration.
• Silicone-free base avoids residue that can make hair feel heavy.
• Gentle surfactants cleanse without stripping natural oils.

Will this help reduce frizz on damp or dry hair?

Yes—by boosting strand hydration, the shampoo helps smooth the hair surface and reduce frizz-prone areas, making styling more predictable. It performs best when paired with the Sap Moss Weightless Hydration Conditioner for ongoing control.

• Increases measured hair hydration by laboratory testing.
• Tames frizz through improved moisture balance rather than heavy film.
• Works across textures—most users report immediate softer, more manageable hair.

What’s in the scent and is it synthetic?

The fragrance is centered on jasmine with certified organic olibanum (frankincense) and cypress, creating a grounded, earthy aroma. Aveda formulates this scent without synthetic fragrance ingredients listed among excluded components.

• Earthy top notes of jasmine with organic olibanum and cypress.
• Fragrance built from botanical sources consistent with Aveda standards.
• Free from synthetic fragrance and common harsh additives.

How does this product fit into a routine for best results?

Use the shampoo as the cleansing step, massaging into wet hair and rinsing thoroughly to remove impurities. Follow with Sap Moss Weightless Hydration Conditioner to lock in moisture and finish with your preferred styling products.

• Wet hair, apply a quarter-sized amount, lather, and rinse.
• Pair with matching conditioner to maximize hydration and manageability.
• Use regularly; adjust frequency to your hair’s oiliness and styling needs.
