Frequently Asked Questions

• Why use natural haircare products?

  • Chemically based haircare products, like shampoo or conditioner tend to dry out and irritate the hair and scalp. Organic shampoo also tends to be kinder to coloured hair and doesn’t normally strip the colour. Many people choose to use natural haircare products simply because they don't get dandruff or an irritated scalp.
    In addition natural haircare uses antioxidants to reduce inflammation, fortifies the scalp and hair with natural oils and extracts, and stimulates the hair follicles improving your hair health.

• Do your natural haircare products use silicones or sulphates?

  • No, our natural haircare products are completely free of silicones, sulphates, palm oil, sodium lauryl sulphate, petrochemicals, parabens and propylene glycol. Our products are also cruelty free and vegan. Although some of our products do use beeswax in them, not from the haircare range though.

• Which product should I purchase?

  • Our replenishing shampoo and conditioner is great for daily use when you don’t have any pre-existing problems, like bad dandruff or an irritated scalp. It's formulated to provide daily nourishment and support to the hair while keeping a healthy shine.
    Our scalp care shampoo is made for even the most sensitive scalps and those with pre-existing issues. Our scalp care shampoo is loved by eczema and psoriasis suffers who sometimes have major irritation on the scalp or find they can't use products with even slight fragrance.

• Are your natural haircare products vegan?

  • PapayaActivs natural haircare range is entirely vegan.

• How do your haircare products help the scalp?

  • Our haircare range uses pawpaw extract in different quantities to fortify, soothe and restore the scalp. Pawpaw has very high concentrations of different vitamins including a, c and e, these vitamins work both to fortify the scalp and hair, and soothe irritations. The enzyme Papain in pawpaw also helps exfoliate dead skin and promote cell regeneration. Combine this with pawpaw's antibacterial properties and its cleansing actions, pawpaw is a great active ingredient for haircare. Our Scalp care shampoo contains the highest percentage of pawpaw, and works to restore inflamed or irritated scalps. Our replenishing shampoo contains a lower percentage to support the hair and scalp.
