FAQs
Is this shampoo suitable for daily use?
Yes, the gentle, sulphate-free formula is designed for daily use on all hair types and sensitive scalps.
What does 'zero-waste' mean in this context?
It means the product is designed to eliminate waste. The 5L refill is intended to be reused, and Miniml offers a system for returning empty bottles for professional cleaning and refilling, or you can find UK-wide refill partners.
How does the refill system work?
You can send back your empty Miniml bottles for cleaning and refilling, or utilize refill stations found at partner locations across the UK to replenish your supply and contribute to a circular economy.
What are the main benefits of Pink Grapefruit and Aloe Vera in the shampoo?
Pink Grapefruit provides an invigorating, uplifting fragrance and natural cleansing properties, while Aloe Vera is known for its soothing and moisturizing benefits, particularly for the scalp.
Can this shampoo be used on coloured or chemically treated hair?
Yes, the sulphate-free and gentle formula is suitable for all hair types, including coloured and chemically treated hair, as it is less likely to strip colour or cause damage.
What specific chemicals are NOT in this shampoo?
The shampoo is free from VOCs, chlorine bleaches, solvents, lanoline, sulphates, parabens, and phosphates.
Does the 5L refill come with a pump?
The 5L refill itself typically does not include a pump. A separate pump dispenser may need to be purchased or you can use your own compatible pump.
Troubleshooting
Shampoo is not lathering well
As this is a sulphate-free formula, it naturally produces less lather than conventional shampoos. Ensure hair is thoroughly wet before applying. For tougher build-up, a double cleanse may be necessary. The product is still effective at cleansing without abundant foam.
Product appears thicker or thinner than expected
Variations in consistency can occur due to temperature changes. Allow the product to acclimatize to room temperature. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Difficulty dispensing from the 5L container
Use a dedicated pump designed for large refill bottles or a wide-mouth funnel to pour into smaller containers. Ensure any pump used is compatible with liquid shampoos.
