Hormone-friendly shampoo without harmful substances, especially for women with hormonal imbalance.

You wash your hair several times a week, sometimes even daily, without even thinking about what's in your shampoo. Yet, many regular shampoos can contain ingredients that affect your hormone balance. For women in perimenopause or menopause, or with hormonal issues like PMS, this isn't a big deal. What you put on your scalp truly matters.

I'm Joyce, a hormone expert and founder of LunaVital. From my experience, I know that many women struggle with issues related to hormonal imbalance. That's precisely why I'm critical of skincare products. I've thoroughly researched the Lakshmi shampoos for their composition, effectiveness, and safety. All three varieties—Hydrating Vata, Purifying Kapha, and Sensitive Pitta—are, in my opinion, reliable choices for women who take their hormonal balance seriously.

Why regular shampoos aren't always hormone-friendly

Many common shampoos contain ingredients like sulfates, parabens, silicones, and synthetic fragrances. These substances can contribute to hormonal imbalances, especially with prolonged use.
