CP-1 VOLUME BOOSTER SHAMPOO

Hair that looks full in the morning and flat by lunchtime is usually a cleansing problem at the root, not a hair problem along the lengths: sebum, sweat salt, dry-shampoo powder, oils and styling polymers accumulate at the scalp and drag the first centimetre of every strand down. CP-1 Volume Booster Shampoo goes after that directly. Its cleansing system is built on sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate with sodium cocoyl isethionate, lauryl betaine and cocamide MIPA — a thorough blend that uses no SLS or SLES — and it finishes clean rather than coated, because polyquaternium-10 is the only conditioning polymer in it. Esthetic House then loads the same actives that run through the Volume Booster duo: a seven-peptide complex, a nine-part postbiotic ferment blend, a six-botanical extract complex and a biomimetic lipid trio, plus niacinamide, dexpanthenol, salicylic acid and menthol. Note for buyers comparing the two SKUs: the shampoo and the conditioner are genuinely separate formulas — the shampoo is the one carrying niacinamide and the surfactant system, the conditioner is the one carrying climbazole and the quats.

Key Benefits

• Clears the root zone properly — removes sebum, sweat residue and styling buildup from the scalp and the first stretch of the hair shaft. That is the actual, honest mechanism behind a volumising shampoo: hair that starts clean at the root stands away from the scalp better.
• No SLS or SLES — sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate does the heavy cleansing, with the gentler sodium cocoyl isethionate and amphoteric lauryl betaine softening the overall profile and cocamide MIPA stabilising the lather.
• Low-residue, root-friendly finish — polyquaternium-10 gives enough conditioning to keep hair combable without laying down a film that re-flattens the roots.
• Scalp clarification — salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid, at rinse-off level to help keep mild flaking and follicle-mouth buildup under control.
• Niacinamide (vitamin B3) — present in the shampoo and not the conditioner, a genuine point of difference between the two SKUs.
• Seven-peptide complex — acetyl hexapeptide-8, copper tripeptide-1, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, hexapeptide-9 and nonapeptide-1, the premium ingredient story this line is sold on.
• Nine-part postbiotic ferment complex — Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Leuconostoc and Bifida ferments with acerola cherry, soybean and pomegranate ferment extracts, carrying the fermented-skincare trend into scalp care.
• Soothing and moisture support — dexpanthenol (pro-vitamin B5) and glycerin, so a deep cleanse does not finish tight and squeaky.
• Cooling menthol finish — the cold, fresh rinse-out that sells hardest in Gulf and North African summers and for clients wearing headcoverings all day.
• Professional 500ml size — salon back-bar economics with pharmacy-shelf credibility, and a clean two-step with CP-1 Volume Booster Conditioner.
• Claim-safe positioning — the volume here is cosmetic lift and body from cleansing and light conditioning. This formula does not support hair regrowth, anti-hair-loss or any medicinal claim and must not be sold with one.

When to Use

Morning or evening, at every wash, and safe for daily use if the client washes daily. It is the first step of the routine, before any conditioner, mask or leave-in. Target it at fine, limp or soft hair, hair that collapses at the root within hours, oily or combination scalps, and heavy users of dry shampoo, hairspray, gel, wax or hair oils. It is also the right shampoo to recommend after the gym, after sun and sea water, and for clients who spend long hours under a cap, helmet or headscarf where sweat and sebum have nowhere to go. For a deeper reset on a congested scalp, run a pre-shampoo scaler first and then wash with this — but not on the same day as another exfoliating scalp treatment if the scalp is already sensitised.

How to Use

• Wet the hair and scalp thoroughly with warm water for at least 30 seconds — most of a shampoo's performance depends on this step.
• Dispense roughly two to three pumps (about 8–10ml) for mid-length hair and emulsify it between wet palms before it touches the head.
• Work it into the scalp with the fingertips, not the nails, massaging for about 60 seconds. The lengths get cleaned by the runoff; they do not need direct scrubbing.
• If there is heavy product buildup or a week of dry shampoo to clear, rinse and repeat with a smaller second lather.
• Rinse completely until the water runs clear and the scalp does not feel slippery.
• Follow with CP-1 Volume Booster Conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends only, keeping the roots clear.

Key Ingredients

• Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate — the primary anionic surfactant doing the main cleansing work, used here in place of SLS or SLES.
• Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate — a notably mild coconut-derived surfactant that softens the overall cleansing profile and improves lather quality.
• Lauryl Betaine — amphoteric co-surfactant that boosts foam and reduces the irritation potential of the blend.
• Cocamide MIPA — foam booster and viscosity builder giving the shampoo its dense, stable lather.
• Niacinamide — vitamin B3, included in the shampoo side of the duo only.
• Salicylic Acid — beta hydroxy acid (BHA), oil-soluble, for mild scalp clarification in a rinse-off format.
• Menthol — the cooling agent delivering the fresh, tingling rinse-out.
• Dexpanthenol — pro-vitamin B5, for a softer, less stripped finish.
• Glycerin — humectant that offsets the tightness a strong cleanse can leave.
• Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 — signal peptide shared across the Volume Booster line.
• Copper Tripeptide-1 — copper-bound peptide used in premium Korean scalp care for a conditioned, resilient feel.
• Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 — lipid-tailed peptide with better affinity for the hair and scalp surface.
• Tripeptide-1 — short-chain peptide in the complex.
• Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 — the palmitoylated counterpart in the pairing.
• Hexapeptide-9 — six-amino-acid peptide in the blend.
• Nonapeptide-1 — the longest peptide in the seven-peptide complex.
• Corchorus Olitorius (Molokhia) Leaf Extract — jute mallow leaf, a plant MENA customers already know by name, which makes it an unusually easy ingredient to merchandise locally.
• Black Bean Extract — black soybean extract, a long-standing Korean hair botanical.
• Laminaria Japonica (Kelp) Extract — mineral- and polysaccharide-rich seaweed extract.
• Lycium (Goji Berry) Fruit Extract — antioxidant fruit extract from traditional Korean herbal medicine.
• Terminalia Chebula Fruit Extract — polyphenol-rich fruit extract for antioxidant support.
• Phaseolus Radiatus (Mung Bean) Extract — the sixth botanical in the complex.
• Cholesterol — a lipid natively found in hair, paired with the emollients below.
• Hydrogenated Lecithin — phospholipid that helps carry the lipid and botanical load.
• Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride — light emollient oil offsetting the cleansing system.
• Postbiotic Ferment Complex — Lactobacillus Ferment, Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, Lactobacillus/Acerola Cherry Ferment, Lactococcus Ferment, Lactococcus Ferment Lysate, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Bifida Ferment Filtrate, Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract and Lactobacillus/Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Ferment Extract.
• Polyquaternium-10 — the single cationic conditioning polymer, chosen to leave hair combable without weighing the roots down.
• Citric Acid — pH adjuster keeping the shampoo mildly acidic so the cuticle lies flat.
• Sodium Chloride — salt, used here as a thickener for the surfactant system.

Precautions

Rinse it out fully — Esthetic House carries an explicit thorough-rinsing caution on this line, and leaving a surfactant and menthol shampoo sitting on the scalp is not the intended use. Salicylic acid is present, but as a minor ingredient in a cleanser that is washed straight off rather than as a leave-on exfoliating active, so no sun-sensitivity caution is needed for this product. Do avoid stacking it on the same day as an AHA/BHA scalp scaler or peeling ampoule if the scalp is already sensitised — the menthol and salicylic acid together will sting noticeably more on skin that has just been exfoliated, and on a scratched, shaved, sunburnt or actively inflamed scalp. Keep it out of the eyes and rinse immediately with plenty of water if it runs. The formula is fragranced, so flag it for fragrance-sensitive customers. Patch test at the nape or behind the ear 24 hours before first full use, and discontinue if redness, persistent itching, burning or swelling develops. This is a cosmetic shampoo for cleansing and cosmetic body — it is not a medicated product, not a hair loss treatment, and not a remedy for any diagnosed scalp condition; clients with persistent flaking, soreness or shedding should see a physician or dermatologist.
