A clarifying shampoo built for people who spend more time in the water than out of it. Chlorine, salt, and hard-water minerals quietly build up on hair and scalp after swimming — Swim Shampoo rinses them away without stripping the moisture that keeps lengths soft.
The formula pairs a gentle cleansing base with apple cider vinegar, aloe vera, hydrolyzed keratin, niacinamide, and a blend of plant-derived oils and peptides — chosen to leave the scalp clean and the hair smooth after every swim.
Why it works
- Lifts chlorine, salt, and mineral buildup after swimming
- Apple cider vinegar and aloe vera to comfort the scalp
- Hydrolyzed keratin and peptides for smoother, stronger-feeling lengths
- Every ingredient screened and risk-rated — see the full list below
How to use
Massage into wet hair, work into a lather, leave for about a minute, then rinse. Use after swimming or whenever buildup needs clearing.

Why ours winsA clean, sulfate-, silicone- and paraben-free wash — a coco-glucoside/betaine base with ceramide NP, hydrolyzed collagen and a long soothing-botanical list. But despite its 'chlorine-removal' billing it contains no sodium thiosulfate, so it clarifies rather than actually neutralizes pool chlorine, and it leans on zinc pyrithione plus fragrance allergens. Our SOOO pairs a real chlorine-neutralizing active with protein-and-ceramide repair, screening a notch cleaner at 9.2.

Why ours winsAfterswim is genuinely clean — sulfate-free glucoside/isethionate base, sodium thiosulfate for chlorine, plus keratin, elastin and silk amino acids — but it relies on a silicone (amodimethicone) and a much shorter actives list. Ours matches the chlorine chemistry while staying silicone-free and adds ceramide plus a full peptide complex.

What that benchmark led us to decide
Why we picked it
Sodium thiosulfate neutralizes chlorine
The active that genuinely breaks down pool chlorine rather than masking the smell, paired with apple cider vinegar to clarify hard-water buildup.
SLS/SLES-, silicone- & paraben-free base
Cleanses on olefin-sulfonate plus amino-acid (cocoyl alaninate) surfactants; 43 of 57 ingredients screen low-risk at 9.2 / 10.
Protein, ceramide & peptide repair
Hydrolyzed keratin, elastin and collagen, ceramide NP and a stack of peptides help rebuild what chlorine roughens up.
Worth knowing
Fragrance + essential-oil allergens
Peppermint and eucalyptus oils plus linalool and limonene give the fresh scent but sit mid-risk — patch-test if your scalp is reactive.
Contains piroctone olamine & salicylic acid
Active scalp agents that suit buildup-prone swimmers, but may be more than a very dry or sensitive scalp wants daily.
A clarifying wash, not a moisture bomb
It's built to lift chlorine and buildup; pair it with a conditioner or mask if your lengths run dry.
Our take
Most 'swim' shampoos just perfume over the chlorine. This one carries sodium thiosulfate to neutralize it, clarifies with ACV, then puts protein, ceramide and peptides back — all on a sulfate-, silicone- and paraben-free base that screens 9.2. For anyone in the pool more than once a week, this is the swim shampoo we'd hand them first.
Honest note — a cosmetic clarifying shampoo for swimmers; it supports hair and scalp but isn't a medical treatment.
After-swim hair care
Swim today. Keep your hair tomorrow.
Every time you get in the water, chlorine, salt and hard-water minerals settle onto your hair and scalp. Left on, they're what turns healthy strands dry, rough and dull. Swim Shampoo is built to clear that buildup at the source — and then condition, so your hair feels soft instead of stripped. It's the wash for people who refuse to choose between the pool and good hair.

The problem
What the pool leaves behind
Chlorine is added to pool water to keep it clean — but it doesn't rinse off with plain water. It clings to the hair shaft along with salt and trace metals like copper, forming a film that builds up wash after wash.
That film is why swimmers' hair so often feels different from everyone else's. If any of this sounds familiar, it's the buildup talking:
Hair feels dry, straw-like or tangled after the pool
Color looks dull, faded or slightly green on light hair
Scalp feels tight, itchy or flaky once it dries
Regular shampoo just doesn't seem to "reset" it
Why it works
Three things, every wash
Most shampoos only do the third part. Swim Shampoo is formulated to clear, calm and condition in one step, so you're not stacking three products after every session.
01
Clears the buildup
A chelating, chlorine-neutralizing base lifts chlorine, salt and hard-water minerals off the hair and scalp — the residue that plain shampoo tends to leave behind.
02
Comforts the scalp
Apple cider vinegar, aloe vera and centella help calm the tight, dry, itchy feeling chlorine leaves, and bring the scalp back toward its natural balance.
03
Softens & strengthens
Hydrolyzed keratin, panthenol and plant oils smooth the cuticle and recondition lengths, so hair is left soft and manageable — never squeaky or stripped.
The proof
The residual-chlorine test
Chlorine in water can be measured with a simple test strip. In this demonstration, pool water is dosed with the shampoo and re-tested — the residual chlorine reads as neutralized. The active behind it is sodium thiosulfate, a well-known chlorine-neutralizing agent that's part of the formula.
Before
Pool water tests positive for residual chlorine on the strip.
After
Re-tested with the shampoo added, the residual chlorine reads neutralized.
A demonstration of how the formula's chlorine-neutralizing ingredient behaves in water. It illustrates ingredient action and is not a claim about hair growth, hair loss, or any medical outcome.
How it works
Bind, lift, condition
Binds — chelating and chlorine-neutralizing ingredients grab onto the chlorine and hard-water metals sitting on your hair so they can be rinsed away instead of building up.
Lifts — a gentle, sulfate-free lather carries that loosened residue off the hair and scalp without stripping the natural oils that keep hair flexible.
Conditions — keratin, panthenol and plant oils smooth and resoften in the same step, so you step out of the shower with hair that feels cared for.
How to use
Three steps
Step 01
Rinse
Wet hair with clean water as soon as you're out of the pool or sea — the sooner you rinse, the less time buildup has to set.
Step 02
Lather
Work a coin-sized amount through wet hair into a light lather and leave it for about a minute so the actives can do their job.
Step 03
Rinse out
Rinse thoroughly. Follow with conditioner if you like. Use 1–2× a week, or after every swim if you're in the water daily.
Tip: for stubborn buildup or that faint green tint on light hair, leave the lather in for 2–3 minutes before rinsing.
Made for
People who live in the water
Lap swimmers
Daily chlorine exposure that regular shampoo can't keep up with.
Swim families
Gentle enough for kids coming home from swim class.
Beach & open water
Clears salt and minerals after the sea, not just the pool.
Color-treated hair
Helps protect tone from the dulling, brassy effect of chlorine.
Texture & scent
Clear gel, clean rinse
A light, clear gel that builds into an easy lather and rinses clean — without the stripped, squeaky finish a harsh clarifier leaves. Hair feels soft and weightless straight out of the shower.
The scent is fresh and low-key — a clean, watery note that fades fast, so it never competes with the rest of your routine. No heavy perfume.
Good to know
Questions, answered
Is it really sulfate-free?
Yes. Instead of SLS/SLES, it cleanses with a gentle, amino-acid-style surfactant base. It still clears chlorine and mineral buildup — it just does it without stripping the moisture that keeps hair soft.
How often should I use it?
For most people, 1–2 times a week keeps buildup in check. If you swim every day, you can use it after each session — it's gentle enough for frequent washing.
Is it safe for color-treated hair?
Yes. It's formulated to be gentle on color while it clears chlorine and minerals. Clearing that buildup is actually what helps color look truer for longer.
Will it fix the green or brassy tint after the pool?
It helps clear the copper and chlorine residue that causes dull or greenish tones on light hair, so color reads cleaner. It's a clarifying shampoo, not a toner or dye — for heavy discoloration, pair it with a toning treatment.
Can kids use it?
Yes — it's a gentle, sulfate-free wash suited to children coming out of swim lessons. As with any product, avoid the eyes and rinse well.
Where does it ship from?
It ships from Korea, worldwide. The full risk-rated ingredient list is on this page so you can read every ingredient before you buy.
