Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Shampoo & Conditioner Duo 33.8 oz — Sulfate-Free, Hydrating Clarifying Set for Shine & Manageability

Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Shampoo and Conditioner Duo is a vegan, sulfate- and paraben-free clarifying set that removes mineral buildup from hard water while restoring shine and manageability.

Hard water minerals and daily product residue can leave hair feeling dry, heavy, and dull. This duo combines a deep-cleansing shampoo with a hydrating conditioner formulated to target mineral buildup without harsh detergents. Infused with provitamin B5, citric acid, and plant proteins, the set clarifies and conditions to refresh texture, protect color, and improve comb-through ease.

How does this duo remove hard water buildup without stripping hair?

The formula uses clarifying agents and citric acid to break down mineral deposits that accumulate from hard water, while gentler surfactants cleanse without aggressive sulfates. Conditioning ingredients like provitamin B5 and plant proteins reintroduce moisture and strengthen strands so hair doesn’t feel over-dried after washing.

• Citric acid helps dissolve calcium and mineral films.
• Sulfate-free surfactants gently lift residue without harsh stripping.
• Provitamin B5 restores softness and improves manageability.
• Flax and rice proteins help support elasticity and shine.

Will this set work on color-treated or processed hair?

Yes—this duo is formulated to be safe for colored and chemically treated hair. It clarifies buildup that can dull color while avoiding ingredients known to accelerate fading, helping maintain vibrancy and texture between salon visits.

• Color-friendly, sulfate-free cleansing system.
• Moisturizing conditioner to reduce breakage and frizz.
• Use weekly or as needed to refresh without altering tone.
• Suitable for bleached, highlighted, or dyed hair types.

How should I use the Hard Water Wellness Shampoo and Conditioner for best results?

Start by thoroughly wetting hair, apply the clarifying shampoo, and rinse well to remove loosened minerals. Follow with the conditioner from mid-lengths to ends; leave briefly for absorption, then rinse. For persistent mineral buildup, repeat once or incorporate the duo into your routine weekly.

• Apply shampoo to wet hair, lather, then rinse thoroughly.
• Work conditioner through mid-lengths to ends; leave 1–3 minutes, then rinse.
• Use at least once weekly or as needed for buildup-prone water.
• Pair with regular Malibu C maintenance products for ongoing protection.

What key ingredients are in the formula and what do they do?

• Provitamin B5: improves moisture retention and softness.
• Citric acid: helps chelate and remove mineral buildup.
