FAQs
Yes. Unlike traditional shampoos that rely on harsh chemical strippers, Fiorley is safe for daily use because it is 100% plant-powered and perfectly pH balanced at 4.84.
However, most of our users find that as the botanical extracts rebalance their scalp oils, they can naturally transition to washing every 3–4 days. It is a "Scalp Training" formula – the more the botanicals nourish your skin barrier, the less oil your scalp needs to overproduce.
Because this is a professional-grade, sulphate-free formula, the lathering experience is different from a supermarket brand. It won't give you a "mountain of bubbles" on the first wash, but it creates a beautiful, creamy foam during the second.
Why the lather is different:
The First Wash (The Detox): The botanical cleansers are busy attaching to surface oils, dirt, and environmental pollutants. The shampoo is working hard to detoxify, even without big bubbles.
The Second Wash (The Infusion): Once surface debris is rinsed away, the second wash produces a much richer, dense lather. This allows our 66%+ Concentrated Botanicals to deliver nutrients directly into your follicles.
For the best results, leave the lather on for 3 minutes during your second wash.
Because Fiorley is a 66% Rich Botanical Base rather than a detergent-based soap, the plant extracts need this short "infusion time" to deeply penetrate the follicles and rebalance the scalp.
The Professional Technique:
Prep: Wet hair and move your head away from the direct stream to prevent water from diluting the formula.
First Wash: Massage gently into the scalp (fingers directly on skin, not just hair). Rinse.
The Infusion: Repeat, but let the lather sit for 2–3 minutes. This allows the Willow Bark and Ayurvedic botanicals to fully detoxify the skin barrier before your final rinse.
Absolutely. Our formula is specifically designed to protect your investment.
In hair science, a low (acidic) pH is the "vault" for your colour. It seals the hair cuticle flat, locking in pigment and moisture while preventing the dryness that often follows chemical treatments.
By excluding silicones and "polyquats", we ensure your hair isn't suffocated by waterproof films. The result is a deep clean that leaves your salon colour vibrant and your roots bouncy.
Conventional shampoos use synthetic surfactants (sulphates), salts and other harsh chemicals that strip the scalp's protective oils. Combined with warm water, this makes the skin barrier more permeable, allowing synthetic substances to penetrate the skin more easily. Over time, this cumulative exposure disrupts your natural balance and irritates the scalp.
THE FIORLEY DIFFERENCE: We have replaced aggressive detergents with a 66% Rich Botanical Base. Instead of stripping the skin, we use 13 different plant extracts to support the skin barrier. Our formula cleanses, nourishes, and supports a healthy scalp environment without "hidden" toxins or synthetic additives.
Yes. Our plant-based formula is gentle and safe for the whole family. However, it is not a "tear-free" formula. To achieve a "tear-free" result, conventional brands use synthetic numbing agents and raise the pH to a neutral 7.0 (the pH of an eye). Because Fiorley is precision-balanced at a scalp-healthy pH of 5.14 and contains 100% Mandarin Peel Essential Oil (0.65%), it will sting if it comes into contact with the eyes. We recommend using extra care with younger children - keep their heads tilted back to ensure the botanical goodness stays on their hair and out of their eyes.
We can confidently say this is the
best natural & sulphate free shampoo in Australia.
Unlike many 'natural' brands that rely on just one or two surfactants, Fiorley stabilises the scalp’s microbiome by maintaining a skin-identical 4.5 - 5.5 pH. This acidic environment supports beneficial flora while inhibiting the overgrowth of yeast and bacteria that cause irritation.
The concentrated botanicals are hand picked for weightless hydration that actually penetrates the hair shaft, protecting professional color without the 'rebound' oil production caused by harsh surfactants and without the build up of heavy silicones and polyquats.
Fiorley is a premium cosmetic reset designed for total scalp optimisation. By removing synthetic "suffocants" - like silicones and harsh sulphates - we address the environmental triggers behind flakiness and thinning.
Our Mandarin formula addresses this by focusing on four key actions:
- Natural Exfoliation: Willow Bark Extract gently dissolves the dead skin cells and debris that can lead to flakiness and irritation.
- Soothing the Barrier: Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) and Aloe Vera calm scalp inflammation, reducing the itching and redness often associated with dandruff.
- Structural Strength: Bamboo Extract and Marshmallow Root provide essential silica and mucilage to strengthen the hair strand from the base.
- Ayurvedic Stimulation: Ancient staples like Bhringraj, Amla, and Shikakai deliver potent antioxidants to the root, encouraging a healthy environment for thicker, fuller hair.
By excluding harsh synthetic "nasties" in favour of high-performance, nourishing botanicals, you are effectively clearing the path for healthy growth and cultivating the ideal "soil" for your hair to thrive.
To maintain the potency of our organic botanical extracts, close the cap tightly after each use and store the bottle away from direct sunlight.
Let customers speak for us
I have very dry hair and unfortunately I didn't realise I was using a shampoo with sulphates, so i bought this combo as it's sulphate free. It has made my hair so soft again. highly recommend.
I bought this for bub but I also use it myself now, as other washes dry me out so much. It's very moisturising, I've recommended it to a few friends.
You can really tell this isn't your average supermarket baby wash. I’ve been adding a little to the bath water. It is very gentle, lovely scent. Good to know there is no synthetic fragrance or sulphates and ingredients are natural.
I've had amazing results, both the shampoo and conditioner work so well together. I don't need any other product in my hair afterwards. I used to need hair oils for my dry ends, but not anymore. My hair looks and feels so healthy without any extra products.
I could feel the difference from the very first wash. I've had the best results with it, my hair is so soft and has so much more volume. I don't wash my hair as often anymore - as it's not getting as oily as it used to. And my professional blonde colour hasn't faded at all, I mean - at all. I actually can't believe how healthy my hair looks. Very happy with both shampoo and conditioner.
The shampoo is great, smells super refreshing, easily applied and leaves my hair and scalp clean and itch free - an issue I've had with many "natural" shop bought brands. My natural curls are more defined as my hair is not weighed down by any residue chemicals. I'm so glad I discovered Fiorly and am excited to keep using it.
The owner is so kind and helpful. Cares enough about the business to reach out and see how I liked the products. Will definitely continue shopping here
It's a beautiful product, feels so nice on the scalp, reduced my itching completely and doesn't strip the hair of hair dye. Also great to know I'm using something so clean with no harsh ingredients :)
I love love love this shampoo. I have such a dry scalp and, until now, have yet to find a low tox shampoo that actually works and doesn’t leave my hair feeling crispy (and I’d tried a lot of expensive “highly recommended” brands). My scalp felt revived and my hair was so soft. Will definitely continue to use this one from now on. Thank you!!
Wonderful product that smells beautiful and delivers a clean scalp without feeling stripped. My scalp is much calmer and not itchy at all since using this shampoo. My hair feels softer too.
This conditioner is a must-have if you're after a natural conditioner. Leaves my hair so soft. Definitely needs the 2-3 minute infusion time to detangle. Feels good to have switched to natural products. I can definitely feel the difference. The smell is just divine.
Amazing experience with both the shampoo and conditioner. Feels like such a relief to finally find something that is natural and actually works for my combination hair - I have oily scalp and dry hair so it's been a 'journey' and now I'm definitely onto a winner!!
This shampoo feels soooo luxurious. I'm loving it, it's so gentle and natural yet my oily scalp is under control already, I've only used it three times and I don't need to wash my hair as often anymore. My hair is so soft too. I've found my forever shampoo.
All was fine. Very happy with the service and product. Actually, over the moon with the product. Found the right shampoo after years of trial and error with so many others.
I colour my hair, so I’ve always struggled with dry hair, but the Ylang Ylang shampoo has been a game changer. It definitely feels like my hair is back to what it used to be like years ago, it is so soft. And the scent, wow, love it. Highly recommend!
