What it is: A single-use 5g crystallized vitamin remedy that neutralizes chlorine, removes copper and pool mineral deposits, and reverses the look of green hair — formulated with freshly activated Ascorbic Acid and Disodium EDTA in a vegan, fragrance-free, preservative-free packet designed for regular use by swimmers after every pool session.

Hair Texture: Straight, Wavy, Curly, Coily

Hair Type: Fine, Medium, Thick

Hair Concerns:

• Anti-Pollution & Metal Detox
• Scalp Buildup & Congestion
• Colour Protection & Vibrancy
• Damage & Breakage

Key Benefits:

• Freshly activated crystallized Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) neutralizes chlorine and chloramine compounds on contact — the crystal format preserves maximum potency until the moment of use, unlike pre-dissolved formulas
• Disodium EDTA chelates copper, calcium, magnesium, and other pool mineral deposits from the hair shaft — addressing the primary cause of green hair discolouration in blonde and light hair
• Glucose acts as a natural humectant and carrier, supporting the activation and even distribution of the Ascorbic Acid and chelating complex
• Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate provides a mild sulfate-free lather that carries neutralized chlorine compounds and chelated minerals away from the hair during rinse
• Reduces dryness, tangles, and discolouration caused by regular pool exposure
• Use at least once a week — or after every pool session for frequent swimmers
• Preservative-free, paraben-free, gluten-free, fragrance-free, vegan, cruelty-free, made in the USA

Highlighted Ingredients:

• Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): Primary chlorine-neutralizing active; oxidizes and breaks down chlorine and chloramine compounds deposited on the hair shaft during pool swimming — the crystallized format ensures maximum freshness and potency at activation
• Disodium EDTA: Chelating agent that binds to and removes copper (the cause of green hair discolouration in light hair), calcium, and magnesium mineral deposits from the hair shaft — addresses both pool chemistry buildup and hard water mineral accumulation
• Glucose: Natural sugar-derived humectant and carrier; supports even dissolution and distribution of the active complex through the hair
• Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate: Sulfate-free isethionate surfactant providing gentle lather that lifts neutralized compounds and chelated minerals away from the hair during rinse
• Xanthan Gum: Natural thickener that gives the activated formula the right consistency for even application and distribution through wet hair

Ingredient Callouts: Preservative-free. Paraben-free. Gluten-free. Fragrance-free. Sulfate-free. No added sodium chloride (salt). Vegan. Cruelty-free. 

What Else You Need to Know: Use at least once a week, or after every pool session if swimming frequently. Shampoo first, rinse, then pour the crystals across a wet palm and rub hands together with approximately 30ml (1oz) of water to activate and dissolve. Apply and massage throughout hair, leave on for 2–5 minutes, then rinse. Follow with Malibu C Swimmers Shampoo and Conditioner for the complete post-swim protocol. For damaged hair, follow with the Malibu C Miracle Repair Reconstructor after rinsing. The hermetically sealed sachet is travel-ready — ideal to keep in a swim bag for poolside use. In Metro Vancouver's active aquatics culture — year-round indoor pools, outdoor summer pools, and ocean swimming — regular chlorine and mineral exposure is a real concern for swimmers of all hair types. Blonde and colour-treated hair is most vulnerable to green tinting from copper chelation, but all hair types accumulate chlorine compounds and hard water deposits that dull colour, increase breakage, and reduce manageability over time. See our Hard Water Hair Damage hub for the full chelation protocol. Authorized Malibu C retailer. Earn Beauty with Benefits points on this purchase.
