Beauty Review: ColorProof SuperRich Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner
I am always on the lookout for new (or new-to-me) vegan beauty product to try, so imagine my delight when I did a search for “vegan shampoo” on Amazon.com and ColorProof popped up! A vegan shampoo and conditioner that also protects color-treated hair?! Sign me up!
I had never heard of ColorProof, so after checking out their website to ensure their products really were vegan and cruelty-free, I gleefully added their SuperRich Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner to my wish list.
I received the shampoo and conditioner for Christmas (yippee!!) and I was excited to try it! I have been using it since the beginning of January and so far I absolutely love it! The shampoo is rich and nourishing and reminds me of Pureology’s NanoWorks shampoo, which I used to buy until I learned they were owned by L’Oreal (who tests on animals – so even though Pureology products themselves are vegan I don’t buy them since the $$ would go to L’Oreal). The SuperRich Moisture Shampoo lathers up well and just a little goes a long way! I have tons of thick, coarse, dry and damaged hair and a quarter-sized amount is more than necessary even for me! The smell of the shampoo is kind of bland, but I don’t mind since the smell of the conditioner more than makes up for it (more on that later). My hair feels so much plumper and more moisturized after using the SuperRich Moisture Shampoo!
The conditioner also works wonders…instead of it being overly thick and heavy, it actually feels silky and luxurious…plus my scalp tingles pleasantly from the peppermint it contains! After leaving it on a few minutes in the shower my hair feels more manageable and smooth, plus I love how it leaves my hair smelling like candy canes!
More added bonuses:
This product really does help retain my red hair color (one of the toughest colors to maintain) and I find I haven’t had to dye it as much since I started using ColorProof products. Plus, all of ColorProof’s products are:
• Sulfate-free
• Salt-free
• Gluten-free
• Paraben-free
• Phthalate-free
• PABA-free
• Carcinogen-free
• MEA & DEA-free
• Biodegradable formulas
• Recyclable packaging wherever possible
• 100% vegan
• Never tested on animals
• Keratin-free
The price might be a little expensive to some, but I think it is well worth it! Each 10.1 oz bottle of shampoo runs around $25 on Amazon.com and the price is about the same for conditioner. However, it does last a long time (I've only used about ½ a bottle in 4 weeks…I estimate I’ll have to buy it every 1 ½ to 2 months) and it just leaves my hair looking/feeling gorgeous!
If you are looking for a high-quality shampoo and conditioner that improves your hair’s appearance, doesn't have a lot of nasty ingredients in it and preserves your hair color, I would highly recommend checking out ColorProof!
I am so impressed by their SuperRich Moisture system that I look forward to trying their other products!

Pureology owns colorproof both owned by loreal
ReplyDeleteYes, you are correct! I never got around to updating this post with that info, thank you for the reminder.
DeleteUPDATE - I guess ColorProof is independently owned and does not have a parent company, so we are in the clear!
DeleteI would like to clarify that Colorproof is not owned by Loreal. Jim Markham is the creator of Pureology and Colorproof. He sold Pureology to Loreal and was going to stay on with Loreal until he learned they were changing Pureology's formula. Colorproof is run by Jim, his wife Cheryl and his son. Loreal is not involved nor owns any stock.
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting me know! I researched this further and you are correct. I've updated the post to reflect this. Thanks again!

DeleteI would just like to clarify that Loreal does not own nor is involved with Colorproof. Jim Markham did create both Pureology and Colorproof. But he sold Pureology to Loreal years ago. Jim was going to work with Loreal until he found out they were changing Pureology's formula. He later created Colorproof and it is run by himself, his wife Cheryl and his son. Yes same creator but 2 different companies.
