Our researchers focused on a hydrating repair formula, selecting premium ingredients like Japanese Rice Ferment and Ceramide NP for their proven restorative properties. Every batch is manufactured in Japan under strict GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade purity and consistency. This dedication to quality has made it a top-ranked choice in Japan for damaged hair care, trusted by users who demand results without compromise.

Kose Kirage Rich Moist Shampoo - Hydrating Repair for Damaged Hair contains a thoughtfully formulated blend of ingredients designed to cleanse, hydrate, and repair compromised hair. Key components include water and sodium laureth sulfate as the primary cleansing agents, which effectively remove dirt and excess oils without overly stripping the hair. To counteract potential dryness from cleansing, the formula incorporates potent humectants and moisturizers such as glycerin and panthenol (pro-vitamin B5), which attract and retain moisture in the hair shaft, enhancing hydration and improving elasticity. Ceramide NP is included to help restore the hair's natural lipid barrier, strengthening the cuticle and reducing breakage. Additionally, hydrolyzed silk protein penetrates the hair to repair damage from within, adding strength and smoothness, while botanical extracts like chamomile and rosemary provide soothing and antioxidant benefits. Silicones such as dimethicone offer immediate detangling and shine by coating the hair cuticle, reducing frizz and improving manageability. Preservatives like methylparaben ensure product stability. Collectively, these ingredients work synergistically to cleanse gently, deliver deep hydration, repair structural damage, and leave hair feeling soft, strong, and revitalized, making it particularly beneficial for those with dry, brittle, or damaged hair seeking restorative care.
