Organic Kaffir Lime Shampoo (500ml) (Suds-free) (New Larger Size)
Organic Kaffir Lime Shampoo (New Larger Size 500ml)
For hundreds of years, people in the Far East have used fresh organic kaffir lime shampoo (from kaffir lime juice and infusions) to clean their hair and condition their scalp, without help from any other concoctions. And their shining hair has been renowned the world over. Our fresh whole organic kaffir lime shampoo or rather no-poo (as this unique kaffir lime shampoo is suds-free) is created using this same traditional recipe, which is suitable for our customers who prefer to have nothing to do with complicated, possibly unsafe ingredients in most shampoos, organic or conventional. Our Organic Kaffir Lime Shampoo is particularly important to customers suffering from MCS, or multiple chemical sensitivities, as well as those with skin allergies, rashes, ringworm, eczema, and psoriasis.
Our Organic Kaffir Lime Shampoo is completely safe for humans, pets, children, and the planet. It's not tested on animals and free from any animal products or by-products. 100% cruelty-free.
Our original Kaffir Lime Shampoo has just one ingredient in it: you guessed it, organic kaffir limes that are hand-grown, hand-harvested, and hand-made in small batches on an organic farm run by a husband and wife. In our current version, we have added sour oranges to further tone the scalf and condition the hair as well as an herb called Bai Mee to soften and glisten the hair.
Our Organic Kaffir Lime Shampoo is exceedingly gentle and 100% natural, yet effective. It may take a long while for the residues from previous shampoos you have used to wash away and for the full gentle effect of organic kaffir limes to kick in. You do not need to use anything else on your hair. Our Organic Kaffir Lime Shampoo will balance the pH of your hair naturally. Kaffir lime is also renowned in Thailand for its ability to create lustrous, dandruff-free, shining hair, and prevent gray hair.
Since the skin and scalp can absorb toxic chemicals present in many shampoos, it is important that whatever is used on the hair and scalp be completely natural and safe.
Some customer ask us what the difference is between our organic Kaffir Lime Shampoo and conventional shampoo or even organic shampoo you find in so-called health food stores? The easy answer is - it's like comparing whole unadulterated organic foods to processed food, even though said processed food is certified organic. We ourselves try to stay away from anything processed. Have you read ingredients on processed foods lately? There are a lot of non-food items in there! Same with so-called organic cosmetics. Look at the ingredients. If they aren't outright harmful, they are at least unpronounceable, leaving us to wonder what these ingredients are that supposedly come from nature. The what? I've never heard of that grown anywhere. Our organic kaffir lime shampoo belong in the rarefied category of one-ingredient body care, made from whole organic fruits and herbs. We usually don't eat food that we can't recognize as coming from the garden; in the same way, we don't put anything on our hair or body whose ingredients are made in the lab, no matter how organic the manufacturers try to assure us they are. Simple as that. Whole organic cosmetics for wholesome whole foods people.
Here's an email from our customer C.M.: "Just wanted to let you know that I tried my kaffir lime shampoo and wow did I love it! My hair felt so amazing and it looked better just after one use. My mom even gave me a compliment on my hair and said she wanted to try it."
Usage Directions for Organic Kaffir Lime Shampoo: Shake
bottle well. Wet hair. Massage shampoo into hair and scalp; use enough
for a good product coverage, usually 2-4 dollops for crewcut hair, more
for longer hair. Keep on for 3-15 minutes while you shower or bathe.
Rinse thoroughly. Your hair will look, feel, and smell delicious (it may
take a couple of weeks for old residues from other products to come off
and for your hair to shine). Use as often as you wish. No suds. No
need for a separate conditioner. It may also take time to get used to
the lack of detergent-suds in our shampoo, but your hair and scalp will
thank you for it. Enjoy soft, voluminous hair, without chemicals. Thank
you for supporting small-scale organic farming. Our Organic Kaffir Lime Shampoo can also be
left on hair under a towel for an additional 30-45 minutes to deeply condition the hair. Variations in mineral content in water, like hard or soft water, may slightly affect the results of this natural shampoo. Our Organic Kaffir Lime Shampoo can be safely used as often as needed.
Many customers have said that the organic kaffir lime shampoo works great even on their color-treated hair, but we cannot guarantee this aspect of the kaffir lime shampoo's performance.
Please note: As with any shampoo, the effectiveness of our organic kaffir lime shampoo depends in part in the softness or hardness of your water, or if it's heavily treated with chlorine or other chemicals. The level of environmental pollution in your area (hence in your hair) is also a factor. Many customers find that they are happiest when they use our Organic Kaffir Lime Shampoo in conjunction with a once-a-week hair wash using our Organic Hemp Shampoo Bar (a shampoo bar made without chemicals, using traditional Old-World recipes) to clear out more stubborn residues from environmental pollution.
Our customer wrote:
shampoo and get more complements on the quality and beauty of my hair
than ever before. Most shampoos I previously used either irritated the
eczema on my scalp, or caused inflammation and pain because of their
gluten content. The kaffir lime shampoo is the first shampoo that calms
my scalp and makes my hair look fabulous; thank you so much!" — Nora

With three whole natural organic ingredients,Â
our Organic Kaffir Lime Shampoo is simple, chemical-free, and effective.
Give it a few weeks for the residues from old shampoo to wash away,
leaving your hair lustrious, full, clean, and soft.
Ingredients: Whole Kaffir Limes (Citrus
hystrix), Sour Oranges, Bai Mee (Litsea glutinous). All from small-scale
organic agriculture. No preservatives. Shelf life of one year in a cool
dry place. Handmade in small batches right on the organic farm owned by
a Thai couple who adhere to an organic lifestyle and practice strict
organic farming — all work is done by the two of them, save for some
help from neighbors and volunteers during the plentiful harvest season.Â
- Kaffir lime juice (similar in properties to bergamot citrus) and kafir lime peels have
been known to help prevent or reverse thinning hair and graying hair. The moonface peels of kaffir limes are very aromatic and therapeutic and contain antioxidants which
act as a 100% natural preservative, avoiding the need for chemical
preservatives in our shampoo.
- Bai Mee (Litsea Glutinosa) — is a broad geen Thai Herb long
known to have wonderful cleansing, toning, pH balancing, and conditioning qualities
for the hair and scalp. It's also a great softening and hydrating conditioner for
the hair.
- Sour Citrus: Long an ingredient in Thai
culinary culture, but lesser known as an essential peasant recipe for
soft, shiny, clean hair — we select it for our recipe because of its
intense citrus aroma that lingers on long after each use. Every shampoo experience is a private aromatherapeutic session.
* Note on the name kaffir lime: we have been
told by customers of the unfortunate association of the name kaffir
with colonialism and other unsavory events in history. We use the term
here as a common name of the citrus as it is widely known in Asia and do
not intend in any way to
endorse any negative association that the name kaffir has. One of
Rawganique's founders is Thai and he has always used the name kaffir
lime and so in this light, we continue to use the name kaffir lime
instead of resorting to its Latin name (not much better) or find another
name for it altogether.
Use our organic kaffir lime shampoo daily or as often as needed. Use a liberal amount for good hair and scalp coverage. Leave on as long as desired, up to 30 minutes. Great for everyone and every type of hair, especially those with psoriasis, dandruff, scaly scalp, eczema, and tinea versicolor, as our organic kaffir lime shampoo is extremely gentle and mild and 100% chemical-free.
For best results and for most water conditions, we recommend changing up our organic kaffir lime shampoo with our organic hemp shampoo bars. The effectiveness and feel of our organic kaffir lime shampoo, like any other shampoo, depends on the pH and the mineral level in your tap water (something that we have no control over). We have tested our organic kaffir lime shampoo in both rural (well) water as well as city (municipal) water and we have been very satisfied with the results. Some customers may need to use a filter to filter out chlorine and other metals or minerals present in water (it's a good idea anyway, regardless of the effect on the kaffir lime shampoo).
Please note that it may take time for you to get used to our no-suds organic kaffir lime shampoo, as we have all been programmed to equate suds with shampoo.
Reviews
In general, select the size of clothing and shoes you normally wear, as Rawganique clothing are sized for the North American market. Exceptions are elastic-free boxers, shorts and pants where most people will fit into two sizes and you can generally go down a size for a normal fit. Any product marked as European style will also fit more snugly by North American standards.

1) IMPORTANT INFO RE: SIZING & CUT
Since 1997, Rawganique has been the unicorn, the one great big exception, of the garment industry, which is often associated with rampant wastes, sweatshop labor, and use of environmentally harmful toxic chemicals and dyes.
Our customers buy our clothing because they are handmade and truly natural and pure. So if you are new to us, welcome! If you are coming from mainstream chemical clothing, there are a few things to keep in mind so your expectations are realistic.
At Rawganique, we design products around the beauty and unique & boundless qualities of organic cotton, linen and hemp. Since we don't use toxic chemicals to dye, wrinkle-proof, stain-proof, size or de-lint our organic fabrics, our clothing will behave differently than the clothing you're used to.
If you throw a beautifully handcrafted hemp shirt into the dyer, it will shrink because pre-shrinking it involves chemicals that we will not use. Hanging the shirt to dry will preserve its beauty and allows you enjoy it for a long time to come.
Please bear in mind that the clothing we make are 100% organic and elastic-free and 100% natural; therefore, don't expect our clothing to fit like stretch jeans and tightly hugging stretch leggings with all the chemicals and synthetic fibers used to make that possible.
At Rawganique, we aim for a comfortable, handsome fit in our designs and sizing is approximate given our natural fabrics and small workshop size. We need to allow for fabrics to shrink in the case of woven hemp and linen or stretch in the case of organic cotton, linen and hemp knits. A pair of non-stretch pants that fit you like a glove will rip at the butt and thighs when you sit down because there is no polyester or spandex to help the pants stretch and expand when you sit.
2) ELASTIC-FREE SHORTS, SKIRTS, PANTS
A lot of our customers prefer to live a plastic-free, elastic-free life and many other need elastic-free clothing for their medical condition, so since 1997, Rawganique has always offered elastic-free organic cotton, linen and hemp clothing to fulfill these needs.
Elastic-free bottoms usually run bigger than their counterparts with elastic even though the pattern may be the same. Our Liszt boxers run bigger than the Mozart boxers even though the are based on the same pattern. That's because elastic band provides a compression that elastic-free drawstrings don't. The trick is to tie the strings tight, then distribute the folds front to back to smooth the wasitband. That said, most people can fit into 2-3 elastic-free sizes and can stand to go one size down from the size they would normally wear. This info will be pointed out on the relevant elastic-free clothign pages.

Notes Organic Fabric Fitting
Since our woven organic clothing do not contain synthetic or elastic fibers, please do not aim for a glove-tight fit as natural woven fabrics won't stretch the way elastic sythetic fabrics do. Our organic knits are stretchy and more hugging. Some of our organic clothing and bras are stretch organic cotton, meaning they have a small percentage of lycra or Spandex mixed in with organic cotton, resulting in s a "stretch" fit that is more hugging like regular clothing do. In general, we cut for comfort. Clothing that are not too tight are healthier for the body in the long run because the internal organs have room to do the work they have to do to keep us fit and healthy. We have had many customers tell us that wearing high elasticized shapewear for years resulted in many health issues. Even though they may create the hourglass figure, the health costs may be too high.

Please allow 0.2in - 0.25in toe room; so if your foot is 11.36in long, then size 44 (EU) 11 (US) would be the perfect size as it gives you 0.24" toe room to manoeuver in. Natural fabric shoes will also "give" some over time so aim for a snug fit at first (not tight tight) for a comfortable fit soon after. |

10) HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF (Pictograms)
Short Version Of Care Instructions
- Special clothing requires special care.
- Our organic garments prefer washers without agitating cores. Front loaders and core-less washers are preferred.
- Organic hemp and linen clothing DO NOT like high dry heat. Hang woven clothing to dry. Lay knit clothing flat to dry on a garment rack or clean towel. This is to prevent them from stretching of out shape.
- The organic cotton is OK with a dyer. Except for our unique 100% organic cotton fleece, which also prefers not to be in the dryer - the fleece also prefers to be washed separately from other garments because it will get lint on other garments for a few washes. Bigger items like fleece blankets can be dried in the machine on low heat, gentle cycle.Â
- Use gentle biodegradable detergent. No bleach. No optical brighteners. No fabric softeners. Fabric softeners will clog the natural fabrics, leading to less breathability and breaking down of the fabrics. Oxygen-based whiteners are OK to use.
- No dryer for face masks, sleep masks, bandanas, napkins. These are best submerged in boiling water for 30 seconds to clean, disinfect and sanitise. Then air dry and steam ironed as needed.
- Dress jackets, lined dress pants, lined dresses and gowns, lined winter jackets are NOT machine washable or dryable. This is because the outer fabric and the liner may shrink at different rates. Â They may be dry cleaned or wet cleaned at eco-friendly dry cleaners. Or gently wash by hand by agitating the garments in a basin of water which has been mixed with a mild detergent. Rinse and press water out, don't twist. Lay flat to dry. Many customers have reported that there are washing machines that have a hand wash cycle which work for these items as well.
- Hats, bags, shoes and boots are NOT machine washable. There are a few exceptions which are machine washable such as beanie tuques, fleece hats, Kyoto slippers, Satie and Tchaikovsky slippers, and organic coton shopping bags. These exceptions will be pointed out on relevant product pages.
- Pillows, comforters and mattress toppers are NOT machine washable. The reason is that the fill may not dry completely and may lead to mold conditions. Air these items out in the fresh air, away from direct sunlight, for a couple of hours every few months to keep fresh. Ths is why we recommend using our zippered organic cotton barrier protectors to protect these items. The protectors can then be unzipped and washed. Exceptions are the shredded natural rubber pillows which are machine washable because the small shredded fill can dry out.
- Rugs are not machine washable or dryable. Handwoven bathmats can be machine washed separately from other garments. If you spill something on it that stains, soak it up as soon as possible. Please consult a professional rug cleaner.
Long Version of Care Instructions
(With TidBits On The Unique & Special Qualities Of Rawganique Products)Â
- Because we don't use toxic chemicals to "size" or "de-lint" or "treat" or "wrinkle-proof" or "stain-proof" our products in any way, there are some simple steps that you need to take to care for your new organic clothing. We have all been spoiled by the advances in the chemical sciences that yield wrinkle-free clothing, stain-proof clothing, high-perfomance micro-fiber synthetic clothing, but these advances come at a potentially high cost to the environment and human health. At Rawganique, we revel in creating untreated, unprocessed organic clothing, footwear, and bed and bath products because our homsteading roots have given us a great deal of respect for nature, the fragility of our planet, and the potential cost of chemicals to the health of humans and wildlife. Our products are free from GMO, pesticides, toxic dyes, BPA, PVC, dioxin, formaldehyde, and forever chemicals like PFAS.
- Linting is normal for naturally processed organic fabrics. This doesn't affect performance and will stop over time.
- Naps in our hemp and linen fabrics and occasional skipped loops in our terry towels etc. are characteristic of truly natural non-homogenized products and aren't defects. A lot of manufacturers boil hemp fibers down with acids and other chemicals to homogenize them so they can be cheaply spun in cotton matchines, which defeat the purpose of hemp and weaken their structures. We don't do this. Our organic products reflect their unique characters created by nature. We simply showcase their beauty and strength in the products we make.
- Our products can be steam ironed (hemp and linen at linen settings and organic cotton at cotton settings).
