A shampoo that strips the hair of moisture and leaves the cuticle roughened undoes the work of every treatment that follows. Pureology Smooth Gloss Shampoo is the foundation of the Smooth Gloss system: a rich-lathering, sulfate-free formula that cleanses colour-treated hair thoroughly while depositing in-wash conditioning polymers and Salicylic Acid clarification that leave the cuticle primed and receptive for the mask and silkmorphose spray that follow. Frizz-prone, colour-treated hair — cleansed without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSmooth Gloss Shampoo uses a five-surfactant system calibrated to produce a rich, luxurious lather without SLS or SLES chemistry — essential for colour-treated hair where aggressive surfactant stripping is the primary cause of premature colour fade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSodium Cocoyl Isethionate\u003c\/strong\u003e is the primary surfactant — a mild, coconut-derived isethionate that produces a dense, creamy, conditioning lather with a low irritation profile. It is the workhorse of the formula's lather and cleansing performance and is significantly gentler on the cuticle surface than sulfate-based alternatives. \u003cstrong\u003eDisodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate\u003c\/strong\u003e provides additional mild, thorough cleansing. \u003cstrong\u003eSodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSA)\u003c\/strong\u003e is a surface-active powder-derived surfactant — often confused with SLS but structurally distinct, with a larger molecular size that limits scalp penetration and substantially reduces irritation potential. \u003cstrong\u003eSodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate\u003c\/strong\u003e is a mild amino acid-derived surfactant with conditioning properties. \u003cstrong\u003eDecyl Glucoside\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCocamidopropyl Betaine\u003c\/strong\u003e are the glucose-derived and amphoteric co-surfactants that refine foam quality and contribute a final layer of gentleness and slip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePolyquaternium-7\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ePolyquaternium-10\u003c\/strong\u003e are the dual in-wash conditioning polymer system — both cationic film-formers that deposit at negatively charged damage points on the cuticle during washing, providing in-shower slip, anti-static frizz reduction, and combability that make a tangible difference at rinse-out. On colour-treated frizzy hair where the cuticle is roughened by chemical services, this dual polymer deposit reduces the mechanical stress of lathering and rinsing. \u003cstrong\u003eHydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride\u003c\/strong\u003e provides additional cationic guar conditioning — the ingredient behind the shampoo's characteristic silky in-shower feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSalicylic Acid\u003c\/strong\u003e functions as a gentle clarifying agent at the cuticle level — clearing the product residue, mineral buildup, and sebum film that accumulate on the hair shaft between washes and physically block subsequent conditioning and treatment actives from depositing. By creating a clean, receptive cuticle surface at the cleanse step, it improves the absorption and performance of the Smooth Gloss Mask and Silkmorphose™ Spray that follow in the routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePureology's Antifade Complex®\u003c\/strong\u003e is active here at the cleanse step — \u003cstrong\u003eHelianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Extract\u003c\/strong\u003e referenced in the Antifade Complex provides UV protection and free radical neutralisation to protect colour vibrancy from the photo-oxidative process that begins during rinsing and continues through the day. \u003cstrong\u003eGlycerin\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ePropylene Glycol\u003c\/strong\u003e provide humectant moisture balance through the wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe system efficacy results when used as the complete Smooth Gloss system (Shampoo + Mask + Silkmorphose™ Spray):\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8x smoother hair\u003c\/strong\u003e — vs. non-conditioning shampoo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e+50% glossier shine\u003c\/strong\u003e — vs. unwashed hair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e90% humidity protection\u003c\/strong\u003e — vs. non-conditioning shampoo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFragrance: fresh, crisp, salty notes layered with warm vanilla and sandalwood — the Smooth Gloss collection's coastal signature scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e100% vegan.
