Maple Holistics Argan Shampoo and Conditioner | Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

If Maple Holistics isn't on your radar, then I am very pleased to introduce you to this wonderful line that features a natural and holistic range of high quality products that are safe, effective and a pleasure to use.

Their Argan Shampoo and Conditioner have quickly become among my most reached for haircare products in my shower, and for this reason I definitely see myself purchasing replacements once I finish these up. That may not sound like a big deal, but I seldom get around to repurchasing shampoos and conditioners because I have so many different varieties to test out that I seldom deem it necessary.

Maple Holistics Argan Shampoo is a very gentle moisturizing shampoo that thoroughly cleanses hair without stripping it, and without leaving a heavy greasy film behind. The blend of six oils used (Argan, Peach Kernel, Jojoba, Avocado, Camellia Seed and Almond) nourish, condition and moisturize the scalp and hair– leaving it manageable and tangle free. It has a subtle, light and warm scent that is a fusion of the six oils in conjunction with the honey and vanilla, but it isn't in the least overpowering. This nourishing formula is a good choice for all types of hair, and if is gentle enough for people with dry hair. My naturally curly hair is softer and is less prone to frizziness since I began using this shampoo and conditioner.

According to Maple Holistics,

Argan shampoo introduces the ultimate haircare formula that provides maximum benefits with six of the most effective oils for hair and scalp health. This incredible synergy offers an abundance of valuable therapeutic effects.

Camellia Seed: Nourishes the complexion and helps condition the scalp, while providing healthy antioxidants to rejuvenate hair and scalp alike.

It is one of those rare conditioners that permits me to comb my curly hair without the aid of additional products, and that is no small feat.

Shea butter, in particular, contains vitamins A and E, making it an excellent natural moisturizer for the hair. It locks in moisture without leaving the hair greasy or heavy. Green tea contains epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which strengthens hair roots, activates hair follicles and promotes hair growth.

Botanical Keratin: Keratin is a family of fibrous structural proteins, which contribute to the composition of hair.

It also prevents problems like dandruff, split ends, and premature graying. Sea buckthorn, on the other hand, contains high levels of Omega 3, 6, 7, and 9, as well as vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K that promote healthy skin and hair.

  1. A weird question: is this a Canadian brand? I'm wondering with their logo being a maple leaf. I was unable to find location info on their site.

    1. Hi Iris, Not a weird question at all– the maple leaf definitely is a good indicator that it could be a Canadian brand.On the bottle it says "Made in the U.S.A." In another area of the bottle is indicates that it is manufactured for Maple Holistics in Lakewood, NJ. :-)
