Designed for salons, hospitality venues, wellness centres and eco-conscious homes, Nu Eco Baobab Conditioning Shampoo 25 L combines professional-grade performance with industrial-scale sustainability. This sulphate-free formula, enriched with baobab extract and botanical surfactants, offers consistent cleansing, deep nourishment, and environmental responsibility – all from a single, stackable drum.
Who Needs the 25 L Format?
- Salons and Spas: Yielding approximately 1,250 washes (20 ml per use), this drum supports uninterrupted service and premium client care while reducing back-bar clutter and per-wash costs.
- Hotels and Gyms: Replace single-use amenity bottles with wall-mounted dispensers fed directly from the drum, cutting plastic waste by up to 85% and labour time on restocking.
- Large Households and Eco Collectives: Refill glass or aluminium bottles across bathrooms and still have supply to spare. Ideal for reducing transport emissions and packaging waste in one purchase.

Ingredient Profile: What Powers the Performance

- Natural Surfactants: Derived from coconut and sugar, delivering gentle lather without stripping natural oils.
- Preservation System: Rosemary extract and sodium anisate extend shelf life without harmful parabens or formaldehyde donors.
