Garden of Wisdom's Locks of Lovely Shampoo is a luxurious, plant-powered formula designed to cleanse, nourish, and strengthen hair without compromise.This gentle yet effective shampoo is enriched with a carefully selected blend of natural ingredients that promote scalp health and enhance hair vitality. Mild, biodegradable cleansers like Decyl Glucoside, Lauryl Glucoside, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, and CocoBetaine provide a soft, sulfate-free lather that cleanses without stripping away essential moisture. Vegetable glycerin and xanthan gum contribute to a smooth, hydrating texture, ensuring your hair feels soft and manageable after every wash. A powerhouse of botanical extracts and oils, including broccoli sprout infusion, brassica (broccoli) seed oil, black castor oil, and baobab powder extract, deeply nourishes the scalp and strands, enhancing shine, strength, and elasticity. Aloe vera gel, Argan oil, and marshmallow infusion work in harmony to deliver intense hydration and soothing care, leaving hair feeling silky, smooth, and revitalized. To fortify and protect, pro-vitamin B5, keratin amino acids, silk (hydrolyzed), and L-arginine help restore hair’s natural resilience, reducing breakage and improving texture over time. Rhodiola extract and allantoin provide additional soothing and conditioning properties, making this shampoo ideal for sensitive scalps. With a clean, unscented formula, Locks of Lovely Shampoo is perfect for those who prefer a fragrance-free hair care experience while still enjoying premium-quality ingredients. Experience the beauty of deeply cleansed, nourished, and naturally radiant hair with every wash!
Method of Application This should be used as any shampoo would be applied. Let sit on the hair for several minutes and rinse thoroughly with warm water. I know (duh, Markey). :-) Our testers here did not need to use a conditioner afterward. We want your feedback!
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.

Mounting stress levels can have a detrimental effect on the body, triggering a nutrient-conserving mode where the body prioritizes essential survival functions over others, such as hair health. Consequently, hair issues and hair loss become more pronounced. Rhodiola rosea, an adaptogenic herb, offers a solution with its anti-stress and fatigue-fighting properties that help lower stress-inducing enzymes in the body.
The benefits of Rhodiola rosea for hair are largely attributed to its adaptogenic qualities, which enhance the body's ability to manage stress, thereby indirectly supporting hair health. Here's how it works: **Improves Stress Resistance**: Rhodiola rosea is rich in antioxidants that neutralize free radicals and help balance hormones, reducing cortisol levels, the primary stress hormone. High cortisol levels can cause hair follicles to shrink, exacerbating hair issues. Regular intake of Rhodiola rosea supplements boosts the body's stress resistance, mitigating hair fall and other hair-related problems associated with poor follicle health.
**Maintains Hormonal Balance**: The endocrine system regulates hormone production, which is vital for the growth and reproduction of hair follicles. By aiding in hormonal balance, Rhodiola rosea directly contributes to healthier hair and reduces hair fall concerns.
**Enhanced Blood Circulation**: A well-functioning body ensures optimal performance of all systems, including blood circulation. Rhodiola rosea supplements promote normalization, facilitating free blood flow and delivering oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, including the hair follicles. This improved nutrient supply enhances hair follicle health, alleviating hair concerns. Black Castor Oil D-Panthenol Baobab Powder Extract Allantoin L-Arginine
Locks of Lovely Shampoo (Unscented): Pure, Nourishing, and Gentle Care for Your Hair
Love this shampoo! I have an oily scalp but dry hair, and somehow this formula balances both. My hair is much softer (less breakage), and it doesn't need washing as often. It's remarkable that this works without conditioner.

We’re blushing, or maybe that’s just our shampoo bubbling with pride! Thank you for the lovely shoutout to Locks of Lovely Shampoo.
Balancing an oily scalp and dry ends is no small feat, but this shampoo understood the assignment.
We’re thrilled to hear your hair is feeling softer, stronger, and sassier with less wash-day drama (and no conditioner sidekick!).
Who knew one bottle could do it all? We might start calling it the overachiever of the shower shelf.
Thanks again for sharing the love your hair clearly has great taste. ♀️

Luxurious shampoo
I love this shampoo. It makes my hair soft yet full. Like others have said, I don't usually use conditioner with this shampoo as it feels like a shampoo and conditioner all in one. I just lather up and leave it in for a few minutes. I also like that it is unscented.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! It’s wonderful to know our shampoo is leaving your hair soft and full, exactly what we hoped for when creating it!
We love that you’ve found it nourishing enough to skip the conditioner - this kind of simplicity can make all the difference in a busy routine. And we’re especially glad you appreciate the unscented formula. We know how important it is to have gentle, fragrance-free options that still feel indulgent.
Thanks again for sharing your experience

Great shampoo
I have very curly hair. I have also lost a lot of weight recently. My hair has been limp and thin feeling which is not my norm. This shampoo has helped my dry scalp and limp hair. My curls have more definition and my scalp doesn't feel dry and sore. My only wish is for a matching conditioner or deep conditioning treatment to go with it. I still have to use conditioner, but that didn't come as a shock to me.
Jen
Thank you for your review! We're so glad to hear that our shampoo has helped bring back definition to your curls and improved your scalp health. We appreciate your feedback about a matching conditioner or deep treatment, it's definitely something we’ll keep in mind for the future! In the meantime, we recommend pairing it with a hydrating conditioner to maintain moisture and keep your curls looking their best. Thanks again for sharing your experience! I love this shampoo as well Markey

Review for Locks of Lovely Shampoo (unscented)
Outstanding shampoo. My scalp and hair are very clean after using this. No irritation and no build-up. Far superior to many of the shampoos that I have recently used. I will definitely continue to purchase this product.

Great
This shampoo is great for my hair, but also for my scalp which is no surprise with the ingredients that GOW employs. I use several GOW products for my facial skin. Now I have as good a product for the rest of my head.
Thank you SO much!
We get really nice and positive feedback for this product and yours is greatly appreciated as well.
Enjoy and please let us know if you have any follow up questions, ideas or thoughts about this shampoo.
Love it for my neck. Will try on my face at some point. I have Rosacea so I have to be careful with my face. Love Bakuchiol for the body too.

Winter Skin MUST HAVE
I love the other GOW hydrating mists but has not tried this one yet. My skin is on the struggle bus this Fall. Due to weather plus perimenopause I felt like I couldn’t get enough hydration no matter what! Purchased the 1oz size of this mist to try and it’s a game changer!! I just ordered the 4oz size during a sale. Never want to be without this during Fall and Winter.

Another WIN from Garden of Wisdom
I've never not loved Garden of Wisdom products 100%, and this is no exception... I alternate the C3 Elixir with other GoW products (the C3 does great on off-days that I don't use peptides), and it's been a great addition to my skin's arsenal. Some products can be drying or irritating to my skin but this isn't, at all!
I have to say... Markey and the entire team at Garden of Wisdom is a blessing. They do what they do out of a passion for helping people, and crafting high-quality, clean and safe products, at an affordable price - along with the utmost customer service (and I love the little hand-written notes I get with each order :)
Thank you, Markey, Leah, Jen, and the rest of your awesome team. xo

Finally a Azelic acid product with the perfect ingredients
I have extremely reactive rosacea + POD + seb derm and have never been able to tolerate other azelaic products (Finacea, The Ordinary, Cos De Baha, etc.). They all left me flushed, burning, slick-oily and “raw” the next morning – even at low %.
Wisdom’s azelaic serum is the complete opposite. The base is incredibly gentle: no sting, no burn, no delayed flare. I can apply it at night after just a water rinse, my skin might flush for a minute (vascular rosacea doing its thing), then it calms right down. I wake up with skin that looks calm, not cooked – still a bit oily (normal for me), but far less than before and without that angry, inflamed look.
It’s the first azelaic that actually works with my barrier instead of fighting it. If you have super sensitive, rosacea-prone, seb-derm-ish skin and thought azelaic just “isn’t for you,” this formula is honestly worth a try.
Please can you consult with your customers if you ever want to discontinue this product? will happily stock up if that ever happens.

This cream is so healing to my skin
This cream is so healing to my skin. I have a sensitivity to citrus products and get a terrible rash and my face will itch. This is the only product that calms my skin.I apply this and within a few hours the rash has diminished and the itchiness is gone. The Calendula Blossom Cream has saved my skin.

Love it!
I love this product & so does my skin! For me, that is a huge blessing.
Where would I be without this serum? It keeps me clear and doesn’t cause any irritation to my eczema-prone skin. This is a must-have.

Hi Cynthia 😊
Thank you for taking the time give us a review.
It's so exciting to know the Bakuchiol p;roducts work so well with your sensitive, Rosacea skin profile.
Have a wonderful week.
Markey ❤️
I love the simplicity of this formula. This makes a great nourishing and healing serum. I have to be careful with hyaluronic acid (all molecular weights) and retinol/al(s), all which tend to dehydrate my skin. Oat beta glucans bring it back to life!
Alyssa
⋆.˚✮ ✮˚.⋆ for leaving a review for our Oat Beta Glucans. We use this ingredient in a lot of our formulas as it is extremely healing and soothing to the skin. Actually, years ago there was a customer who did a study on this ingredient and found so many favorable reviews and testimonials from people with extreme burns and it fascinated us. Kudos to the dear lady! We're so glad to hear that it has been nourishing and healing for your skin. It's great to know that it's a helpful alternative for those who may have sensitivities to other ingredients like hyaluronic acid and retinol.
We’re so grateful you took the time to write us.
Wishing your skin continued comfort and balance during this journey.♡

Hi Michelle
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with our Deep Hydrating Mist! Your enthusiasm is so cool and we really appreciate it! One of our customers in the UK gave us the idea so all the credit truly goes to her. We're so happy to hear that it's been a game changer for your winter skin struggles.
We hope it continues to provide the hydration you need during this season.
Thank you for your continued support and we're glad you took advantage of our sale to stock up on the larger size.
Have a great day and a beautiful weekend.
