Malibu C Hard Water Clarifying Shampoo Travel Size 3.4oz — Sulfate-Free Chelating, Color-Safe Detox

Malibu C Hard Water Hair Clarifying Shampoo is a sulfate-free chelating travel-size shampoo that removes mineral buildup, iron and copper deposits, and helps restore shine without stripping moisture or color.

If hard water has left your hair feeling dull, dry, or brass-toned, this travel-size 3.4oz Malibu C formula is designed to deep-clean minerals and product residue while preserving color and hydration. The blend uses advanced surfactants plus provitamin B5, citric acid and flax protein to gently lift contaminants that everyday shampoos can’t remove. It’s vegan, cruelty-free, and free from sulfates, parabens, gluten and added salt, making it suitable for color-treated and naturally textured hair.

How does this shampoo remove hard water and metal build-up?

Malibu C’s chelating action targets metal ions and mineral deposits bound to the hair shaft. Citric acid and specialized surfactants bind to iron, copper and calcium so they rinse away, reducing stiffness and discoloration that minerals cause.

• Chelating ingredients attach to metal ions for effective rinsing
• Provitamin B5 helps maintain moisture while removing buildup
• Sulfate-free surfactants cleanse without harsh stripping

Will it protect color-treated or chemically processed hair?

This formula is safe for color-treated hair and designed to remove minerals that can accelerate fading or unwanted tone shifts. By eliminating iron and copper particles, it helps color last longer and keeps tone truer between salon visits.

• Color-safe chelating system minimizes fade from mineral exposure
• Flax protein and provitamin B5 support softness and manageability
• Use as a periodic detox to preserve vibrancy without daily stripping

How should I use the travel-size clarifying shampoo for best results?

Apply to thoroughly wet hair, massage into scalp and lengths to lift mineral and product residue, then rinse well. For stubborn buildup, repeat once; follow with Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Conditioner or a targeted remedy for ongoing protection and hydration.

• Wet hair completely before applying for even distribution
• Massage scalp 60–90 seconds to dislodge deposits, then rinse
• Follow with recommended conditioner or treatment for balanced moisture

Does this travel bottle work for all hair types and textures?

Yes — the formula is formulated for fine, curly, dry, oily and color-treated hair. It’s strong enough to clarify metal and mineral buildup yet gentle enough to preserve natural oils and curl definition when used as directed.

• Effective on curly and textured hair without flattening natural pattern
• Safe for fine hair when used occasionally to avoid over-cleansing
• Suitable for men and women looking to detox hard water effects

Who is this for: Ideal for people living in hard-water areas, travelers wanting a compact detox option, and anyone noticing dullness, dryness, or discoloration from minerals or product buildup. It’s a practical once-in-a-while clarifying step in routines for color-treated, textured, or everyday hair that needs mineral removal without harsh stripping.
