Morfose Professional Activated Carbon Hair Shampoo is a clarifying shampoo for salon professionals who need a deep, purifying reset across most hair types with a smooth, manageable finish.
Using an activated charcoal and high-foaming surfactant system, it lifts excess oil, product film, and pollutants for a thorough cleanse. Charcoal Powder helps adsorb impurities during the brief contact time, leaving hair feeling refreshed, lightweight, and ready for styling.
To maintain control and slip after a clarifying wash, amodimethicone and cetrimonium chloride deposit lightly to reduce friction and improve detangling, while glycerin and aloe support moisture balance and scalp comfort.
For clients with gray hair, Carbon Black provides a subtle, temporary tone-neutralizing effect that can soften yellow or dull casts; the formula is not recommended for treated blonde hair to maintain color expectations.
Stock it to deliver a confident, clarifying reset with visible freshness and easy manageability.
