Fairy Tales Kids Clarifying Swim Shampoo 12 oz — Citrus Scent, Removes Chlorine & Green Pool Tones

Fairy Tales Sun & Swim Lifeguard Kids Clarifying Shampoo is a gentle, citrus-scented clarifying cleanser made to remove chlorine, green pool tones, sea salt and mineral buildup from kids' hair after swim days.

After a day at the pool, beach, or lake hair can feel dry, rough, and discolored from chlorine, copper and other minerals in the water. This 12 oz clarifying shampoo is formulated to lift those visible swim residues while keeping hair manageable and color-safe. It’s intended as part of a Sun & Swim routine that refreshes hair without harsh sulfates or unnecessary additives.

How does this shampoo clear green or brassy pool tones?

The formula uses chelating and clarifying ingredients that loosen oxidized metals and mineral deposits bound to the hair shaft. As those residues are removed, the appearance of green or brassy tones diminishes and hair looks closer to its natural shade. It is designed to be effective on both light and darker hair types while remaining gentle enough for frequent post-swim use.

• Targets copper and oxidized metals that cause green discoloration
• Clarifying action lifts sea salt, sunscreen and pool residue
• Non-sulfate surfactants reduce stripping while still cleansing
• Color-safe so it can be used on color-treated hair

Will this shampoo dry out my child’s hair?

Sun & Swim Lifeguard is balanced to remove buildup without overly drying strands. It avoids harsh sulfates and includes milder cleansing agents so hair feels clean, not brittle. For added moisture and manageability, pairing with the Sun & Swim Lemon-Aid Conditioner or a leave-in helps restore softness and detangle.

• No sulfates, parabens, phthalates, gluten, soy, dairy, or nuts
• Works with a complementary conditioner to replenish moisture
• Suitable for fine, curly, long, or tangle-prone hair
• Designed for regular use after swim sessions

How should I use it after pool or beach time?

Wet hair thoroughly, apply a small amount and massage into hair and scalp until it lathers, then rinse well. For heavy buildup, a second, brief lather can help lift stubborn mineral deposits. Follow with Lemon-Aid Conditioner or a leave-in spray to smooth and protect hair after rinsing.

• Use on wet hair; work from roots to ends and rinse completely
• Repeat once if hair has heavy mineral buildup or green tones
• Follow with Sun & Swim Lemon-Aid Conditioner for best results
• Part of a full Sun & Swim post-swim regimen (conditioner, leave-in, body wash)

Is this safe for kids with sensitive scalps or color-treated hair?

The shampoo omits common irritants such as sulfates and parabens, making it a milder choice for frequent swimmers. While it’s formulated for kids, the color-safe formula is gentle enough for adults with color-treated hair as well. If your child has specific scalp sensitivities, test a small area first or consult a pediatrician for personalized advice.

• Free from sulfates and parabens for gentler cleansing
• Allure-recognized family-friendly formula that parents often use themselves
• Suitable for regular use on color-treated hair
• Patch-test recommended for known scalp allergies

Who is this for? Families with active swimmers, parents of children with light or color-treated hair, and anyone who wants a reliable clarifying shampoo without harsh chemicals. It’s aimed at caregivers who need an effective post-swim reset for hair affected by chlorine, sea salt and minerals, and who prefer gentler, family-friendly formulations. Pairing it with Fairy Tales Sun & Swim Lemon-Aid Conditioner and leave-in products completes a simple routine to refresh hair after outdoor water play.
