Shampoo + Conditioner
By Cynple Apothecary
The Root Remedy Collection is a two-step herbal cleansing and strengthening system. It is crafted to purify the scalp, detox buildup, stimulate circulation, replenish minerals, and restore softness and resilience to every strand.
Formulated with rosemary, nettle, and lemongrass, along with silk peptides, plant-derived conditioners, and targeted proteins, this system supports growth, health, and shine. It does all this without overwhelming the hair or disrupting moisture balance.

🌿 HOW THE SHAMPOO CLEANSES & DETOXES THE SCALP
Healthy hair begins with a clean, oxygenated scalp. The top layer of the scalp, known as the stratum corneum, collects various impurities, including:
Oil
Sweat
Dead skin
Styling product residue
Environmental debris
Hard water deposits
Root Remedy Shampoo is designed to cleanse this layer without disrupting the natural barrier.
1. Decyl Glucoside + Cocamidopropyl Betaine
These two surfactants create a balanced cleansing system:
Decyl Glucoside lifts dirt, oil, and buildup.
Cocamidopropyl Betaine buffers harshness, reduces irritation, and boosts foam.
Together, they purify the scalp while protecting moisture levels. This balance is crucial for natural, relaxed, and low-porosity textures.
🌿 HERBAL ACTION ON THE SCALP
ROSEMARY — The Circulation Booster
Key Constituents:
Rosmarinic acid
Carnosic acid
Cineole (eucalyptol)
Camphor
Borneol
Ursolic acid
What it does on the scalp:
Boosts blood flow to follicles
Oxygenates the top layer of the scalp
Loosens buildup stuck around follicles
Reduces inflammatory tightness
Helps “wake up" slow follicles
Detox benefit: Cineole breaks down oily residues while rosmarinic acid purifies microflora.
NETTLE — Mineral-Rich Detoxifier
Key Constituents:
Silica
Sulfur
Iron
Magnesium
Potassium
Zinc
Chlorophyll
What it does on the scalp:
Strengthens the scalp barrier
Deep-cleans without stripping
Flushes away hard-water minerals
Reduces itching, flaking, and irritation
Supports healthier new growth
Detox benefit: Chlorophyll neutralizes toxins and soothes inflammation in the upper scalp layers.
LEMONGRASS — The Purifying Clarifier
Key Constituents:
Citral
Limonene
Geraniol
Myrcene
Flavonoids
What it does on the scalp:
Dissolves built-up oils
Provides antimicrobial cleansing
Helps remove polluted particles
Leaves scalp fresh, balanced, and clean
Detox benefit: Citral acts as a natural astringent, shrinking buildup around follicles.
🧬 SILK PEPTIDES IN THE SHAMPOO
Silk peptides are a signature of this collection. They penetrate the scalp and hair due to their low molecular weight.
Key constituents:
Fibroin peptides
Sericin peptides
17 amino acids
Benefits in shampoo:
Protect hair from moisture loss during cleansing
Improve strand flexibility
Soften the hair even before conditioning
Help shampoo glide through natural or relaxed textures
This is especially important because many shampoos make low-porosity hair feel rough. Silk peptides prevent that.
💧 STEP 2: ROOT REMEDY CONDITIONER
Balance • Strengthen • Restore
🌱 FORMULA (8 oz / 240 mL)
Distilled Water — 65–70%
BTMS-50 — 5%
Cetearyl Alcohol — 3%
Jojoba or Argan Oil — 3–5%
Silk Peptides — 1–2%
Panthenol — 2%
Hydrolyzed Wheat or Silk Protein — 1%
Rosemary Glycerite — 1.5%
Nettle Glycerite — 1.5%
Lemongrass Glycerite — 1%
EO blend (rosemary, lemongrass, lavender) — 0.3–0.4%
Preservative — 0.8–1%
pH adjusted to 4.0–4.5
🌿 HOW THE CONDITIONER RESTORES HAIR
This conditioner strengthens from the inside out, focusing on:
Elasticity
Softness
Slip
Flexibility
Moisture retention
Frizz control
And most importantly, it works for natural, relaxed, and low-porosity hair because it’s:
Lightweight
Non-waxy
Non-coating
pH-balanced to close cuticles
Protein + moisture balanced
🌿 BOTANICAL ACTION ON THE HAIR STRAND
ROSEMARY
Enhances shine
Reduces frizz
Protects cuticle from oxidative stress
Supports smoother, stronger strands
NETTLE
Increases elasticity (reduces snapping)
Strengthens keratin structure
Improves bounce and flexibility
Reduces breakage over time
LEMONGRASS
Seals the cuticle layer
Gives glass-like shine
Leaves hair light and clean
Prevents greasy buildup
🧬 SILK PEPTIDES IN THE CONDITIONER
Silk peptides anchor moisture into the fiber without heaviness.

🔬 WHY THIS SYSTEM WORKS FOR RELAXED, NATURAL, AND LOW-POROSITY HAIR
