Kiehl's Since 1851 Amino Acid Shampoo

A coconut oil-enriched shampoo that cleanses and softens hair.

Product Details:

• Creates a rich, creamy leather for a delightful shampoo experience.
• A special blend of moisturizing ingredients imparts softness and shine as the formula adds body and fullness.
• Suitable for all hair and scalp types when mildness is desired.

Cool Kiehl's Fact: The Amino Acid and Coconut Oil derived cleansers in the formula create its delightful, creamy lather.

Key Ingredients:

• Amino Acids: Amino acids are fundamental to the human body and construct proteins. When chemically united with fatty alcohol or fatty acid, they have cleansing properties and maintain their mild amphoteric character. Amino Acids are known to moisturize by enhancing the skin's water retention.
• Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is an off-white, semi-solid, highly-saturated fat expressed from the kernels of the coconut. It is stable when exposed to air. It lathers quickly and is a good skin cleanser commonly used in many skincare formulations. Lathers readily and softens skin.
• Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein (Phyto Peptides): Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, also known by the collective name phyto peptides, is an effective substitute for hydrolyzed animal protein derived by acid, enzyme, or other method of hydrolysis. It offers conditioning, moisturizing and film-forming properties and is widely used in skincare products to help skin retain its moisture and improve its overall appearance.

How to Use: Wet hair. Gently massage a small amount through the scalp area. Rinse with warm water. Repeat if desired, and follow with the Kiehl's conditioner or styling aid of your choice. If contact with eyes occurs, rinse eyes thoroughly with water.

The original Kiehl’s apothecary first served patrons in 1851, at the corner of 13th Street and Third Avenue in New York City.

In 1894, after honing his trade as an ambitious apprentice, pharmacist John Kiehl purchased the apothecary. John Kiehl & Co. began operations under “Kiehl Pharmacy.”

Mr. Irving Morse, John Kiehl’s apprentice, took over the business in 1921 and expanded the offerings to a full-service pharmacy, stocking teas, herbs, tinctures, honeys, and the first-ever Kiehl brand products, including the Original Musk Oil, our signature scent.

In 1924, Kiehl’s became one of the first companies to proudly list ingredients on its product labels — even before the U.S. government mandated it — to help customers make more informed and confident purchasing decisions.

Kiehl’s Pharmacy began introducing bold new products in 1962, such as Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner, Blue Astringent Lotion (loved by Andy Warhol), Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1, and Ultra Facial Moisturizer — all still among our best sellers today.

In 2006, Kiehl’s introduced Dermatologist SolutionsTM, a collection of advanced skincare formulated by Kiehl’s chemists (and developed in collaboration with an advisory panel of leading dermatologists) to address specific skin concerns.

Today, our nature-inspired, scientifically-proven formulas are powerful yet safe and help improve overall skin quality for visibly healthier-looking skin.
