Boticário Match Science Pré e Pós-Química Shampoo – Itaconic Acid & Amino Acid Microinfusion for Chemically Treated Hair – 10.14 fl oz (300 ml)
- Cleanses chemically treated hair deeply without leaving the fiber feeling stripped.
- Prepares each strand to receive active ingredients before a salon chemical service.
- Helps reintegrate and restructure the hair fiber after bleaching, coloring, relaxing, keratin smoothing, hair botox and perms.
- Helps prevent chemical breakage, so hair appears less prone to snapping after repeated services.
- Supports shine, softness and natural movement wash after wash.
Made for people whose hair regularly goes through salon chemistry — bleaching, coloring, relaxing, keratin smoothing, hair botox or perms — and who want one cleansing step that works both before and after the service. It suits frequent washing and hair that feels weakened, dull or rough after processing, especially if you already use the rest of the Match. Science routine. It is not for children, since the label states adult use only; it is not for anyone following a strictly sulfate-free routine, because the cleansing system is built on Sodium Laureth Sulfate; and it should not be used on an irritated or broken scalp.

- It comes in a 300 ml bottle labeled in Portuguese — this is an authentic Brazilian-market product, so the English instructions and full INCI list are provided on this page.
- It is not a sulfate-free shampoo: Sodium Laureth Sulfate leads the cleansing system, paired with milder Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Coco-Glucoside.
- The formula carries no added CI colorants, so it is not expected to stain hair, skin or towels; it is for adult use only, is not intended for children, and should be discontinued if sensitization occurs.
The logic of the formula is a hand-off between cleansing and repair. Sodium Laureth Sulfate, softened by Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Coco-Glucoside, lifts buildup and salon residue so nothing blocks the fiber; on that clean surface, Itaconic Acid and the amino acid microinfusion get their chance to reintegrate and restructure hair weakened by bleaching, coloring or smoothing. Panthenol, Sodium PCA and Sodium Lactate then help hold water inside the strand so a deep cleanse does not read as dryness, while linseed and chia seed extracts with Dimethiconol smooth the outside for shine and natural movement. Used before a chemical service it prepares the strand; used afterwards it helps maintain the result — which is why the line is built as a pre- and post-chemical pair, finished with the matching conditioner or mask.
