Dubbed the 'Angel Hair Shampoo Bar,' the product is formulated with Rose Water which has soothing capabilities, Witch Hazel which is a "gentle astringent," and Cocoa Butter which provides a hydration boost to dry hair. To strengthen and thicken strands, Lush also includes Aquafaba. An infusion of Ylang Ylang Oil also delivers "a heavenly scent that hovers like a halo" after the shower.
