Clean Canvas

Clean Canvas Detoxifying Hair Cleanser

A gentle clarifying cleanser that makes your hair feel truly clean - without stripping it.

Clean Canvas delivers an active, refreshing cleanse you can feel working, with built-in root care that keeps hair balanced, soft, and comfortable from root to tip.  No hard, straw-like hair begging for conditioner. The ultra nourishing formula begins with a luxe pillow soft lather, then - thanks to triple distilled Japanese Peppermint - builds to a tantalizing tingle that revives and energizes your roots. It completes with a cool, energizing sensation - a cold plunge for your roots! 

Safe for daily use. Color-friendly. Never stripping.

Dermatologist Approved. Clinically Proven.

The Root Reason

We wanted to reinvent shampoo.

One that makes your hair feel truly clean - where you can feel something actively happening - without ever drying it out or throwing your hair off balance.

Clean Canvas was created with built-in root care, because a healthy scalp is the foundation of great hair. No harsh cleanse. No overcorrection. Just a reset that leaves hair light, hydrated, and ready for whatever comes next.

It’s not just shampoo. It’s an addictive wash ritual you won't feel clean without.
