Paul Penders Natural Organic Time-Release Jasmine Shampoo is a unique approach to washing the hair based on organic olive oil as a cleansing agent. The shampoo foams only minimally when applied to the scalp. After some water is added it 'breaks open' to release a gentle foam for cleansing the hair that ensures shiny hair and a clean, healthy scalp. Due to the fact that our shampoo does not contain any chemical foaming agents, those who like the feel of foam may want to wash the hair a second time and with only a small amount of shampoo, the foam will appear.
