Nautica Shampoo Base - COSMOS Organic is a fully formulated shampoo base made with gentle, organic-approved surfactants and designed to be used as is or customised to suit your preferred hair care style.

♡ Why we love it: A good shampoo base can make DIY far more approachable, and this one gives you a clean, gentle foundation with plenty of room to personalise. It is especially useful when you want a simpler path to custom hair care without compromising on feel or quality.
