Boticário Match Science Crescimento Shampoo – Gentle Scalp-Care Cleansing with Baicapil and Castor Oil – 10.14 fl oz (300 ml)

Boticário Match Science Crescimento Shampoo – 10.14 fl oz (300 ml) is a daily-use cleansing shampoo made in Brazil by O Boticário, one of the country’s most loved beauty houses. "Match Science Crescimento" is the Brazilian name of the line and is kept in Portuguese exactly as it appears on the bottle.

The formula builds a creamy, easy-to-rinse lather that washes away oil, sweat and product build-up without stripping the lengths. Menthol brings a light cooling sensation on the scalp, while castor oil, hydrolyzed proteins and the Baicapil® blend named on the pack help condition the hair surface so strands look and feel stronger, smoother and easier to manage.

Brazilian haircare is built for humidity, sun and frequent washing, and this shampoo follows that tradition: gentle enough for everyday use, generous in slip, and finished with the fresh signature scent O Boticário is known for.

Key Features:

• Gentle daily cleansing: a creamy lather lifts oil and build-up while helping the lengths stay comfortable, not squeaky or tight.
• Scalp comfort: menthol delivers a light, fresh cooling feel that makes wash day more pleasant.
• Stronger-looking fiber: hydrolyzed corn, wheat and soy proteins help improve the appearance of weakened, brittle-looking strands.
• Castor oil and Baicapil®: two signatures of the line, included here to help condition and soften the hair surface.
• Soft, mobile hair: light conditioning agents help detangle so hair feels silky and keeps its movement.
• Brazilian origin: formulated and manufactured in Brazil by O Boticário; vegan formula and Cruelty Free certified.
• Family-size bottle: 300 ml (10.14 fl oz) with a practical flip-top cap for the shower.

How To Use

1. Wet hair thoroughly with warm water.
2. Apply the shampoo to wet hair and massage gently, working the lather from the scalp down through the lengths.
3. Rinse thoroughly.
4. Repeat if hair is very oily or heavily coated with styling product.
5. Follow with your usual conditioner or mask. Suitable for daily use.

Expert Tip: use your fingertips, never your nails, and give the scalp a slow 30-second massage before rinsing — it helps the lather do its job and makes the cooling menthol finish last longer.

Ingredients (Highlights)

• Baicapil® blend (Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Triticum Vulgare Germ Extract, Glycine Soja Germ Extract): the botanical complex named on the Brazilian packaging, included in this formula as a conditioning plant-extract blend.
• Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil: a classic Brazilian haircare oil that helps soften the fiber and adds slip during washing.
• Hydrolyzed Corn, Wheat and Soy Proteins: small protein fragments that deposit on the hair surface and help strands look and feel stronger and less porous.
• Glycerin and Propanediol: humectants that help hold water at the hair surface, so the lengths feel supple rather than dry after cleansing.
• Menthol: gives the signature fresh, cooling sensation on the scalp during the wash.
• Decyl Glucoside and Lauryl Glucoside: mild sugar-derived co-surfactants that help keep the cleansing base gentle and the foam creamy.

FAQ

Is this shampoo safe for color-treated or chemically straightened hair?

Yes. It is a standard cosmetic cleansing shampoo and can be used on colored, relaxed or keratin-treated hair. As with any shampoo, colored hair fades faster with hot water, so rinse cool and follow with a conditioner.

I have a wheat, gluten or soy allergy. Can I use it?

We would not recommend it without medical advice. The formula contains hydrolyzed wheat, soy and corn proteins as well as wheat germ and soybean germ extracts. Please read the full INCI above and talk to your healthcare professional.

Does it contain sulfates or silicones?

It contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate, buffered with milder sugar-derived co-surfactants (Decyl and Lauryl Glucoside). There are no silicones listed in the INCI.

What does the cooling feeling come from, and is it normal?

That is the Menthol in the formula. A light, fresh tingle on the scalp during the wash is expected. If it feels uncomfortable or stings, rinse it out and stop using the product.

Will my bottle be labeled in Portuguese?

Yes. This is the authentic Brazilian product shipped from its original market, so the carton and bottle are printed in Portuguese. The full English ingredient list and directions are on this page. Packaging artwork may vary while older stock lasts; the formula is the same.
