Kiehl's Amino Acid Shampoo 8.4 fl oz — Gentle Daily Cleanser with Coconut Oil, Strengthening

Kiehl's Amino Acid Shampoo is a gentle, daily-use cleanser formulated with amino acids, coconut oil and wheat protein to clarify, soften and add body to all hair types.

This lightweight, creamy shampoo removes dirt and excess oil while helping hair feel fuller and more manageable without weighing it down. The formulation blends amino acids to help retain moisture, coconut oil for fatty-acid nourishment and wheat protein to condition; it aims to leave hair soft, shiny and refreshed after each wash. Paraben-free and suitable for everyday use, the product is designed for people who want a simple, effective routine that supports stronger-feeling hair.

How does this shampoo cleanse without stripping natural oils?

The milder surfactant system and balanced amino-acid profile lift grime and sebum while preserving the hair’s moisture balance, reducing the tight, dry feeling some stronger shampoos leave behind. Its creamy texture spreads easily and rinses clean for a lightweight finish.

• Mild cleansing agents designed for daily use
• Amino acids that support moisture retention in the hair shaft
• Creamy lather that rinses without residue

Will it help hair feel stronger or reduce breakage?

While no shampoo can prevent all breakage, this formula contains amino acids and wheat protein that help condition and fortify the hair surface, improving resilience against everyday styling stress. Regular use can make hair easier to detangle and style, which reduces mechanical damage over time.

• Amino acids to support internal moisture and elasticity
• Wheat protein to condition and improve manageability
• Smoother strands that are less prone to snapping during brushing

Is this safe for colored, treated, or all hair types?

The gentle formulation is suitable for all hair types, including colored and chemically treated hair, because it focuses on cleansing and conditioning rather than aggressive stripping. Always follow with your preferred conditioner or Kiehl’s Amino Acid conditioner for best results on treated hair.

• Paraben-free formula suitable for daily use
• Works with natural, colored, and chemically treated hair
• Pair with matching conditioner to maintain color vibrancy and softness

How should I use it for best results?

Apply to thoroughly wet hair, massage into a soft, foamy lather across roots and lengths, then rinse. For deeper conditioning and improved detangling, follow with Kiehl’s Amino Acid conditioner or your preferred moisturizing treatment.

• Apply directly to wet hair and massage gently
• Rinse thoroughly and repeat if needed for heavier build-up
• Follow with conditioner for added hydration and shine

Who this is for: This shampoo is ideal for anyone seeking a daily, low-weight cleansing option that adds body and softness without heaviness. It's a good match for people with fine to medium hair who want fuller-feeling locks, as well as those with normal, dry, or chemically treated hair looking for a mild, conditioning wash that supports manageability and shine.
