Description
Kérastase Elixir Ultime Shampoo 250ml is a luxurious oil-infused cleansing shampoo developed to improve the appearance of dull, lacklustre hair while restoring softness, smoothness and natural-looking shine. Part of the Kérastase Elixir Ultime collection, this professional shampoo features Marula Oil to help nourish hair without leaving it feeling unnecessarily heavy.
Everyday styling, environmental pollution and accumulated product residue can leave hair looking dull or feeling difficult to manage. This shampoo provides an effective cleansing experience while supporting a softer, more radiant finish.
Designed for customers who want a professional, shine-enhancing hair care routine, Kérastase Elixir Ultime Le Bain combines cleansing ingredients with lightweight conditioning benefits.
Why Choose Kérastase Elixir Ultime Shampoo?
Choosing the right shampoo is an important part of maintaining glossy, manageable hair.
Over time, excess oils, environmental impurities and styling products may accumulate on the hair surface. This build-up can affect the natural movement and appearance of strands.
Kérastase Elixir Ultime Shampoo is designed to help remove these dulling impurities while providing nourishing care.
The formula contains Marula Oil, an ingredient highlighted by the manufacturer for its contribution to hair softness and shine.
Unlike intensive clarifying shampoos intended primarily for stubborn build-up, this product focuses on regular cleansing combined with lightweight nourishment.
Its airy, rich lather helps remove everyday residue and pollution particles while leaving hair feeling refreshed.
The result is a smoother-looking finish that provides a useful foundation for conditioning and styling.

It helps support the rich lather described by the manufacturer.
Laureth-5 Carboxylic Acid

If your hair becomes weighed down easily, avoid using excessive quantities of heavy leave-in oils near the roots.
