WHY IT WORKS
Fiorley’s Balance & Hydrate shampoo works by regulating and maintaining scalp balance. Instead of harsh sulfates that trigger reactive oil production, we use a synergistic five-cleanser bio-system that lifts excess lipids while protecting your scalp’s natural acid mantle. By maintaining a skin-identical 5.14 pH, this formula stabilises your microbiome to prevent irritation and "rebound" greasiness.
To maintain healthy strands and soften dry lengths, we use Broccoli and Grape Seed oils that penetrate the hair shaft for breathable, bouncy hydration. Combined with Witch Hazel to refine pores and Organic Mandarin Oil for a clean, synthetic-free scent, it ensures your scalp stays balanced and your hair stays vibrant, light, and perfectly nourished.
Unlike many brands that rely on harsh chemical solvents for plant extracts, we use Ayurvedic and water-based extractions to preserve powerful actives like tannins and flavonoids. This means REAL NOURSHMENT for your hair and scalp, and results that are:
More nourishing
More strengthening
More scalp-balancing
More softer
More natural
Could this be the best natural & sulphate free shampoo in Australia?
For Australians balancing an oily scalp with dry, brittle ends, the search for the 'best' sulphate free shampoo ends when you stop stripping and start NOURISHING. Fiorley’s Balance & Hydrate is a leading contender for Australia’s best natural shampoo because it replaces harsh detergents with a sophisticated five-cleanser bio-system.
Unlike many 'natural' brands that rely on just one or two surfactants, Fiorley stabilises the scalp’s microbiome by maintaining a skin-identical 4.8 pH. This acidic environment supports beneficial flora while inhibiting the overgrowth of yeast and bacteria that cause irritation. Combined with Broccoli and Grape Seed Oils, it delivers weightless hydration that actually penetrates the hair shaft, protecting professional color without the 'rebound' oil production caused by heavy silicones.
The "Rebound" Effect & Scalp Balance
Combination hair often falls into a "vicious cycle": harsh cleansers strip the scalp, which triggers reactive oil production (seborrhoea) while leaving the ends brittle. Fiorley interrupts this cycle. By utilizing Witch Hazel and Ayurvedic botanicals, we naturally astringe the pores and balance the scalp's microbiome, providing a deep clean that doesn't trigger the "rebound" greasiness common in supermarket and salon brands.
Radical Purity (Sulphate-Free)
While many "natural" brands rely on a single surfactant, Fiorley utilises a synergistic system of five plant-derived bio-cleansers. This is critical for normal and combination hair because it ensures a thorough removal of environmental pollutants and excess sebum while remaining 100% sulphate-free and safe for professional hair color.
No Synthetic "Fragrance" or Endocrine Disruptors
Fiorley is 100% free from "Parfum" and phthalates (known endocrine disruptors). Instead of hiding synthetic chemicals behind the word "Fragrance," our fresh, uplifting scent comes exclusively from steam-distilled 100% Organic Mandarin Peel Oil, respecting your body’s natural hormonal chemistry.
Dermatologically Minded
Formulated specifically to avoid "hidden" irritants like Phenoxyethanol and Cocamidopropyl Betaine. Our clean formula provides a scalp-friendly environment suitable for those managing Psoriasis, Seborrheic Dermatitis, or extreme sensitivity, ensuring a soothing wash every time.
Silicone & Polyquat-Free (SOFT & BREATHABLE)
Bouncy, Balanced Hair: Most brands use silicones and Polyquaterniums to create "fake" smoothness, which ultimately suffocates the hair follicle and leads to lifeless, weighed-down hair. By excluding these film-formers, we allow the hair shaft to remain breathable. The result is a truly hydrated, bouncy finish that keeps your roots lifted and your ends soft.
FULL INGREDIENT LIST
What makes our natural shampoo unique?
Botanical extracts maintain scalp homeostasis by supporting the natural acid mantle and providing oxidative protection. For balanced hair, ingredients like Willow Bark and Mandarin provide a gentle "micro-exfoliation" to prevent future buildup, while Amla and Green Tea deliver high-potency antioxidants to shield the hair from environmental damage. By utilising lightweight Broccoli Seed Oil instead of heavy silicones, these formulas ensure the hair remains in its naturally vibrant state - weightless, strong, and perfectly balanced from root to tip.
The Maintenance Protocol
- Gentle Micro-Exfoliation: Keeps the scalp clear and breathable by gently removing daily environmental pollutants with Willow Bark Extract.
- Pore Refinement: Supports a steady, healthy scalp environment and refines pores with the natural astringency of Witch Hazel.
- Environmental Protection: High-silica Bamboo Extract fortifies each strand with a weightless, mineral-rich shield. It increases resilience against daily breakage and UV stress without the heavy buildup of traditional synthetic coatings.
- Weightless Vitality: Broccoli Seed and Grape Seed Oils mimic the hair's natural lipids, providing a boost of shine and softness without disrupting the hair's natural weight.
- Antioxidant Hydration: Green Tea and Coconut Oil deliver a "vitamin-wash" to the strands, neutralizing free radicals that can lead to premature dullness.
Follicle Strength & Growth Support
- Sustains Growth: Maintains strong roots and enhances natural luster using the high Vitamin C and antioxidant profile of Organic Amla.
- Optimal Scalp Health: Organic Bhringraj and Organic Gotu Kola support healthy micro-circulation, ensuring the hair follicles receive consistent nutrient delivery.
- Purity in Extraction: Our actives are derived via Ayurvedic decoctions and water distillation. This chemical-free process ensures that the plants' natural enzymes remain intact, providing "live" nutrition to the hair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can. Our Mandarin Balance & Hydrate Shampoo is specifically formulated to be gentle enough for daily use for the whole family, from toddlers to adults.
Unlike standard shampoos that use harsh synthetic detergents (sulfates) to strip the hair, Fiorley uses a plant sourced surfactants. This means it cleanses without disrupting the scalp’s natural protective barrier or stripping away essential moisture even if used daily.
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.
Because the Mandarin Balance & Hydrate Shampoo is a professional-grade, sulfate-free formula, the lathering experience is different from what you might find in a supermarket brand.
The short answer is: 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:
Most "regular" shampoos use Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) - the same harsh detergent found in dish soap - to create high-volume bubbles. These bubbles don't actually clean your hair; they are just a chemical reaction that can strip your scalp of its natural protective oils.
Fiorley uses natural, coconut-derived surfactants. These work differently:
- The First Wash (Low Lather): On the first application, you may notice very little foam. This is because the botanical cleansers are busy attaching themselves to surface oils, dirt, and environmental pollutants. The shampoo is working hard, even without the bubbles!
- The Second Wash (Creamy Lather): Once the surface debris is rinsed away, the second wash will produce a much richer, creamier lather. This lather is fine-textured and dense, designed to deliver the 68% Active Botanical Base directly into your follicles.
For the best results, we recommend leaving the lather on for 3 minutes during your second wash. Because Fiorley is a 68% Active Botanical Base and not a standard detergent-based shampoo, the plant extracts need this short "infusion time" to deeply penetrate the follicles and rebalance the scalp.
The Best Technique:
- Prep: Wet your hair and move your head away from the direct stream of the shower. This prevents the water from diluting the shampoo and reducing its effectiveness.
- The First Wash: Gently massage the shampoo into your scalp. Position your fingers under your hair, directly on the scalp (similar to how a hairdresser does it). Rinse.
- The Second Wash (The Infusion): Repeat step 2, but this time allow the lather to sit on your hair and scalp for 3 minutes. This allows the Willow Bark and Ayurvedic botanicals to fully absorb and detoxify the skin barrier before you rinse thoroughly.
While Fiorley is not a medicated "drugstore" treatment, it is designed for total scalp optimisation. Many cases of flakiness and thinning are caused by "suffocated follicles" blocked by synthetic silicone buildup, environmental toxins, and harsh sulfates.
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.
Absolutely. Our formula is specifically designed to protect your investment. Unlike traditional shampoos that use harsh sulfates to "strip" the hair, Fiorley is 100% sulphate-free and perfectly pH balanced at 5.14.
In hair science, a low (acidic) pH is the "vault" for your color - it helps seal the hair cuticle flat, locking in pigment and moisture while preventing the dryness and breakage that often follow chemical treatments.
By also excluding silicones and polyquats, we ensure your hair doesn't get weighed down by waterproof films that suffocate the scalp and prevent nourishing botanical extracts from actually reaching your hair. The result is a deep, detoxifying clean that leaves your salon color vibrant, your roots bouncy, and your strands truly hydrated.
Conventional shampoos are typically formulated with synthetic surfactants like sulfates and silicones. These harsh chemicals strip the scalp of its protective natural oils, which - when combined with the warm water of a shower can cause the skin barrier to become "relaxed" and more permeable. This allows synthetic substances to penetrate the skin more easily.
Because we use shampoos regularly, this leads to cumulative exposure, which over time can disrupt your scalp's natural balance, irritate the skin barrier, and impact the overall condition of your hair.
The Fiorley Difference:
We have replaced synthetic chemicals with a 68% Active Botanical Base including plant sourced surfactants. Instead of aggressive detergents, we use gentle, plant-based cleansers and 13 different plant extracts to support the skin barrier rather than compromise it. Our formula is designed to cleanse, nourish, and support a healthy scalp environment without the use of harsh toxins or synthetic additives
