Botanical Shine™ Shampoo Results

Shea Butter

SHEA BUTTER
(Butyrospermum parkii)

Renowned for its excellent emollient properties and ability to help improve the barrier function of the skin, we source our shea butter from West Africa, where the pulp of the fruit is removed to reveal the kernel, which is boiled and dried in the sun before being shelled for pressing.

Aloe Vera

ALOE VERA
(Aloe barbadensis)

Featuring formidable hydrating, soothing and cooling properties, our aloe vera is harvested in the morning to maximise the amount of juice the sword-shaped fronds yield, before being freeze-dried to create a powder.

Apple Fruit Extract

APPLE FRUIT EXTRACT
(Pyrus malus x domestica)

Used for its ability to smooth and promote shine, we source our apples an award-winning organic farm in the heart of Herefordshire, England, where herbs have been grown and processed for 30 years. The farm has twice been the winner of the Silver Lapwing, the UK’s leading environmental and farming award.

Aqua (water), Lauryl glucoside, Cocamidopropyl betaine, Glycerin, Sodium chloride, Parfum (fragrance), Pyrus malus (apple) fruit extract, Citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) fruit extract, Aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) leaf juice, Shea butter ethyl esters, Sodium benzoate, Inulin, Panthenol, Limonene, Citric acid, Coco-glucoside, Glyceryl oleate, Linalool, Sodium phytate, Phenoxyethanol, Alcohol, Potassium sorbate, Hydrogenated palm glycerides citrate, Tocopherol (vitamin E), Sodium hydroxide.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Worst container ever Whoever designed the container for this should be fired. Every time I've used this shampoo the cap has ended up broken or cracked leading to leaks everywhere, and you need olympic weightlifter strength to squeeze a usable amount out of the tiny hole. Shockingly bad product design, how it ever got the green light is a mystery to me. Shampoo itself is not bad though.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Sadly disappointing I don't often write reviews but I feel compelled to add my own comments to other poor reviews which match my own feelings of disappointment with the current shampoo & in the hope that something can be done to bring back the original formula, or something close to it.....please! I've used the original shampoo and conditioner since it was introduced to the rest of the Liz Earle range, which I've been a regular user and fan of since it was launched. I have long thick natural untreated hair which has always been in good condition and easy to manage so normally only needs washing once a week, helped I believe by the original shampoo. Like many other reviewers of the current shampoo formulation, it now leaves my hair tangled and feeling dry, stripped and needing to use more conditioner which makes it more difficult to style, dull and flat. I could tell the difference after the first use, approx 3 months ago but I gave it the benefit of the doubt and carried on using it, adjusting the amounts of shampoo and conditioner to try to get a better result. Sadly I've been disappointed and frustrated after every use. I had a little bit of the original shampoo left, which I've been saving for holidays and have tested it in-between using the new formula to make sure it wasn't my hair that had changed - it's definitely the new shampoo that is the problem, not any change to my hair which comes back to life when I use some of my remaining original LE shampoo which won't last much longer. I havent returned the new shampoo because I got it as part of a kit in the sale after Christmas with conditioner which I'm still using. I won't be repurchasing the shampoo and I'm sad that I now have to try to find an alternative when the old version was so loved and trusted. LE team, please listen to these honest reviews and bring back the original shampoo - the ingredient(s) you say are no longer available to you must be able to be sourced somewhere on the planet.... please!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Change of formula awful Like many others, I have used this product for some time and bought again without realising the formula has changed. I have very fine hair and it used to suit my hair so well - but now - I am looking for someone who maybe doesn't have the same problem that I can gift it to.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brilliant product. Have been using this shampoo for many years and was not aware at the time of my repeat purchase of any changes to its formulation. As regards to the foaming I squeeze into my hands and gently work the shampoo and then distribute through my hair. I receive many compliments on the condition of my hair which I wear in a Bob.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Oh, this is bad! I've made a mistake. A huge mistake. I buy my products in bulk, and bought this in bulk, not realising that the formula had changed. It's so thick and gloopy, I had trouble even getting it out of the tube. Initially, I couldn't get it to lather, and my hair went into knots, even the shorter layers were tangled up to the roots. As I tried to wash the shampoo out, it lathered, and it lathered so much I was rinsing and rinsing again. Yes, my hair was literally squeaky clean, but I couldn't get the comb through it. I ended up using twice as much conditioner as normal. It took me an hour and half to wash my hair, condition it, and comb the tangles out, as oppose to the normal 20 minutes. Being quite tight, and not having the time to look for a different brand, I made the best of it and continued to use it, developing a workaround of putting the shampoo in my hand, add some water, put in my hair, add some more water, be prepared to rinse forever... The biggest thing for me was when I went to my hairdresser two weeks later for my usual trim. She always compliments me on my hair, but there was a silence followed by a tentative 'what are you using that's different?' My traditionally normal hair is now greasy at the roots, dry at the ends and considerably shorter due to the damage that was cut away. Yes, I need to take some of the responsibility, as I should have binned this immediately, but as an expensive product, I did expect better.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Barely lathers I purchased this new shampoo as I had run out of the old . Big mistake! Said not to use much ? I had to wash my hair 3 times and still barely any lather. I don’t have tangly hair but this made my hair tangly dry and knotty . Had to use conditioner to smooth it all out . I will no longer be purchasing this and will go back to another well known brand. Very disappointed!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Awful … and no longer Eczema Society approved ?? Having used Liz Earle off and on for many years and knowing it was (certainly in the original days) eczema society approved I bought this to replace other shampoos when my skin was being extremely reactive and flaring up - and I had narrowed it down to my shampoo / conditioner. After a couple of weeks using it - and yes, it does leave your hair like straw and needing a huge dollop of conditioner to bring it back to normality - my skin was no better, in fact I’d go as far as to say it was worse. I’ve done some research and I don’t believe that Liz Earle is now Eczema Society approved, I assume due to the ingredient changes made since the original owners sold it. My main reason for investing in this brand (and I have been using it for the best part of 20+ years) were because of the quality of the ingredients and the claims and previous evidence that my skin was happy with it. This is clearly now not the case, and I will have to find another brand of shampoo that my skin won’t react to.

Why did you only ask a few (only 2O) of your loyal customers to try the reformulated shampoo? The constant negative reviews are a reflection of your poor trial of the shampoo. 

Asked by: Orla26
Unfortunately you asked the wrong 84% of customers going by the negative reviews. I didn’t know formula had changed and hair was dry/ straw texture. Will not be using this again. Will say I still like the conditioner.

You have stated the reason for changing the formula of your bestselling shampoo is because the ingredients are difficult to source? I suspect the true reason for the drastic change in formula is cheaper, poor quality ingredients and profit for the company

Asked by: Del666
They probably need all the profit they can get , due to all the awful changes that have been made to most of the products. All the lovely spray oils , and bath oils ! Gone… All of the Energising body products! Gone…The Shampoo in its original formula , all gone !! Liz Earle never needed to have sales , when Liz still owned the company, but they do now !!

On your responses to the reviews about the change in formula,  botanicals are not available & your product team have worked hard on the new formula, how can this be when there is such a dramatic change, I left a bad review and will return the product. 

Asked by: Mazzini
84% said they would change to the new formula ?? Forget your panel results and read the reviews on here. The shampoo is awful but will say the conditioner is still nice.

Hi I have used Liz Earle shampoo for many years,however the new Botanical shine shampoo is awful and this is such a shame. I feel you really need to listen to all the negative reviews and re look at this shampoo as you will definitely loose customers. 

Asked by: Used Liz Earle for years
I agree too, I have tried to persevere but I won’t be buying anymore, not just because it strips my hair but because it’s too thick and with arthritis in my hands I struggle to squeeze it out of the tube. Very sad to have to find an alternative after so many years 😢
