Saving the rainforest, one bottle at a time

Since starting in 2008, Rahua has provided the financial and legal resources to preserve over 1,600,000 acres of the Amazon rainforest.

Frequently asked questions

My Classic Shampoo and Conditioner came in and it has a different label, this is a real Rahua product?

Yes! No need to worry, it's the same Classic Shampoo and Conditioner as before.

When we refreshed our look and logo back in April 2025, we carefully crafted every detail to honor our heritage and mission of preserving the Amazon rainforest while ensuring Rahua remains relevant and impactful for generations to come.

As a natural next step, we tackled how we display our products to the world. The unveiling of Rahua's updated packaging marks the beginning of a new era. This evolution showcases Rahua in a new light allowing more of the world to discover transformative plant forward beauty experiences.

It’s still the same beloved products you know and love, just with a new look.

Does Rahua® use parabens in the products? Sulfates? Silicones? Phthalates?

Rahua is paraben-free, sulfate-free, silicone-free and phthalate-free! Our formulas use plant-powered surfactants that are gentle on the skin and scalp while still cleansing thoroughly. You may not see an immediate voluminous lather with natural shampoos. Our shampoos do their job by clinging to oil and dirt and sliding away with the flow of water. 

What can I expect during the transition from conventional to sulfate-free hair care?

Some people experience an adjustment period (usually 4-6 weeks) when moving from conventional to sulfate-free shampoos. Your hair may feel different for the first few washes as your scalp rebalances to a gentler formula. Be patient, within a few consistent uses, you’ll discover healthier, stronger, more naturally beautiful hair.

My hair is fine, will Rahua® products weigh my hair down?

While our products can be used across all hair types, there are a range of products that are better suited for those with finer hair. We recommend products like our Voluminous Essential Hair Care Set - a great set for anyone with fine hair looking to add volume and bounce. We also have an alternate, lighter version of our best selling treatment, Leave-In Treatment Light, to help those who want hydration without the weight.

Overall, our products are very concentrated so we always recommend that first time users try a smaller amount, especially with an oil like our Legendary Amazon Oil. Less is more!

What scent is the Classic Shampoo and Conditioner?

The scent of the Classic Shampoo and Conditioner is woody and earthy with notes of palo santo oil and rahua oil.

Can I use your shampoo every day?

Yes. Our formulas are designed to cleanse gently and effectively, making them ideal for daily rituals, if desired.

What our community says
Our community says this shampoo leaves hair feeling clean and soft without stripping. Many reviews mention improved manageability and shine, particularly for fine and thin hair. While most appreciate the mild, natural scent, some note the lower lather typical of natural formulas. Common feedback includes longer-lasting freshness between washes and improved texture. Though a few users find it drying, most report their hair feels healthier and more vibrant with regular use.

    The world's best shampoo

    I'm completely obsessed with this shampoo (and conditioner). I used it for many years and then decided to "save some money" and try something else but I realised no other product compares to Rahua's classic and hydration shampoos. I'm definitely back and not going anywhere this time.

    I have super dry hair and I feel like this shampoo cleans it so so well (even if I was oiling prior to washing) without drying it out at all. It also smells divine. I converted my mum to Rahua too and she can't use anything else since!

    Awesome!

    Smells amazing, works well for my fine straight hair, with dry ends

    Not too heavy but keeps my hair healthy and happy

    There is an adjustment period when switching from typical salon brands but so worth it!

    Awesome and steady for the 10 past years

    I searched for a shampoo with the no silicone like 10 years back. I found this one which smells amazing gives bright hair and the only downside is it’s price. But it’s worth every since I buy exclusively Rahua since that time. Can only recommend. It’s is very reliable and awesome.

    Classic Shampoo

    After searching for many different shampoos to try for my hair and scalp affected by the 2020 COVID vaccine I have found this shampoo to help somewhat. The smell and texture is a game changer. I love it as one who is sensitive to a lot of scents. This is natural and the company is real. I use the conditioner as well. Thank you both for your products and helping to save the rain forests.

    restored

    Rahua is the best shampoo for my fine hair, I truly believe it helped grow back and restore my scalp health after going through a shedding phase. My Mom who is 78 loves the system also, her hair also grew back once starting on the products, long silver and shiney.
