This shampoo bar offers a well-formulated, transparent approach to clarifying oily hair, but its performance claims would benefit from finished-product testing to fully earn its promises.
₹299 • Analysed 22 October 2026
This shampoo bar is positioned as a clarifying and oil-control solution, which is well-suited for the humid Indian climate where excess sebum and scalp buildup are common concerns. Priced at Rs. 5.98/g, it sits in the mid-to-premium segment for shampoo bars in the Indian market. The brand's claims are generally cosmetic and functional, avoiding any direct drug-boundary crossings, and are presented in a straightforward manner without obvious ASCI concerns. The use of plant-based ingredients and a solid format aligns with growing consumer interest in 'clean' and sustainable beauty in India.
Independent and free. The Clean Sheet takes no money from brands to analyse, rank, or approve a product. This is a web evidence analysis, not a Clean Sheet certification. We checked the ingredient list, publicly available test reports, marketing claims, and formula logic using only public information available at the time of analysis.
General ingredient research supports the cleansing and oil-absorbing properties of surfactants and clay. No finished product testing is publicly visible.
INCI lists Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine (plant-derived surfactants), Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Panthenol, and conditioning agents like Behentrimonium Methosulfate and Cetrimonium Chloride. The combination supports gentle cleansing and conditioning.
Shampoo bars are generally concentrated and plastic-free, supporting the environmental and travel-friendly claims. The 'lasts longer' claim is a general benefit of bars but lacks specific comparative data for this product.
Green French Clay (Kaolin and Illite) is known for oil absorption. Surfactants also contribute to oil removal. No finished product testing is publicly visible.
This is a broad claim. While cleansing can help balance the scalp by removing excess oil, no specific ingredients or finished product evidence are provided to demonstrate 'balancing' beyond basic cleansing.
Similar to 'Oil control', Green French Clay and surfactants contribute to removing excess sebum. No finished product testing is publicly visible.
INCI lists Kaolin (and) Illite (Green French Clay) at a meaningful position (before the 1% line, after Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract).
INCI lists Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil at a meaningful position (before the 1% line, after Behentrimonium Methosulfate).
What we could confirm from public sources and the verified ingredient list.
Ingredient Safety & Toxicity
Full ingredient list retrieved and verified against the product page (cleanandconsciouscare.com).
Brand describes ingredient origin in its claims.
Screened against the ingredient database (10 of 18 ingredients matched); no cosmetics-prohibited ingredient found.
No ingredient with a recognised endocrine-activity concern found in the database.
No IARC-classified or formaldehyde-releasing ingredient found in the database screen.
Irritation & Allergen Risk
No EU-declarable or database-flagged allergen found in the list.
No high-sensitisation preservative (MI/MCI/formaldehyde-releaser) from our screen was found.
Built on a stronger sulphate surfactant (sodium coco sulfate) - effective, but can feel stripping on sensitive skin or in hard water.
Ingredient Transparency
The full INCI list is publicly available, not just hero ingredients.
Any proprietary 'complex' is broken down into its actual ingredients.
Ingredients are listed in the descending order required by India Cosmetics Rules 2020.
Standards & Compliance
Usage warnings and directions are clear on the label.
Screened against a curated reference set that we are continuing to verify and expand, so “clear” means no flag from that set, not a guarantee. Not a substitute for a full toxicological or clinical assessment.
