Wella Nioxin System 5 Shampoo Cleanser 300ml is the first step of Nioxin's three-part System 5 routine, formulated for chemically treated hair (coloured, bleached, straightened or relaxed) with normal-to-thin density and a medium-to-coarse texture. The lightweight cleansing shampoo lifts away excess sebum, product residue and environmental build-up that can block follicles, while a peppermint, menthol and BioAMP™ vitamin complex refreshes the scalp and helps support the appearance of fuller, thicker-looking hair.
About Nioxin
Nioxin was founded in 1987 by Eva Graham in Atlanta and is now part of the Wella professional family. The brand built its reputation on its System range — numbered 1 to 6 by hair type and treatment history — designed as multi-step cleansing, conditioning and scalp-treatment routines for thinning hair. System 5 sits within that range as the choice for chemically treated hair with light thinning.
Key ingredients
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate / Sodium Lauryl Sulfate — effective deep-cleansing surfactants that lift away oil, sebum and product build-up.
- Salicylic Acid — beta-hydroxy acid that helps clear residue from around the follicles and exfoliates the scalp.
- Peppermint Oil and Menthol — provide an immediately cooling, refreshing sensation on the scalp.
- Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract — antioxidant botanical traditionally associated with scalp support.
- BioAMP™ vitamin complex — biotin, niacinamide, pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), folic acid, riboflavin (B2), thiamine (B1) and B12, designed to nourish and support visibly fuller-looking hair.
- Hydrolysed Silk — adds smoothness and conditioning slip to chemically treated hair.
