This plant-based, pH balanced, sulfate-free kids shampoo uses coconut-derived cleansers to wash away dirt, debris and build-up without stripping natural oils. Enriched with shea butter, coconut oil and pro-vitamin B5. Australian-made, vegan-friendly and naturally scented.

Formulated with excellent clean ingredients. Vegan. Cruelty free. Essential oil free.
Bloom Squad® prioritises ingredient integrity and responsible sourcing, working with a primary manufacturing partner that is Sedex 4 Pillar certified and GMP ISO 22716 accredited, ensuring independently audited labour standards, workplace safety and product quality. Ingredients are sourced from Australian suppliers wherever possible to support local industry and increase regulatory oversight. Formulations are cruelty-free, vegan-friendly and exclude silicones, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, phenoxyethanol, petrolatum, mineral oil, PEGs, propylene glycol, harsh detergents, artificial colours, synthetic fragrances and essential oils. Independent third-party testing ensures compliance with Australian regulations.
Bloom Squad partners with Australia’s first carbon-neutral cosmetics contract manufacturer, operating from a solar-powered, SEDEX SMETA 4-Pillar accredited facility. Its headquarters are solar-powered and paperless. Products use plant-derived, biodegradable ingredients and a 100% natural scent from a supplier with vertically integrated, sustainably sourced botanicals. Packaging is recyclable, locally sourced and uses a spray mechanism with approximately 50% less plastic than conventional sprayers. The brand also partners with Plastic Bank to support ocean-bound plastic removal.
Bloom Squad donates a portion of every purchase to organisations such as Dolly’s Dream, supporting anti-bullying education and youth mental health initiatives in Australian schools and Plastic Bank, which removes ocean-bound plastic and provides fair-wage opportunities in coastal communities. The brand educates families via social media on ingredient awareness, positive self-care rituals and sustainable choices and operates a solar-powered, paperless headquarters to reduce environmental impact.

Product Reviews by Experts


I love that this product is free of nasties and that I can use it on my child without worrying about chemicals. I’m glad there are instructions on the bottle about the fact it doesn’t foam up as much as some other shampoos. Once you know that, it all works really well. I love the fact that this brand has tried to reduce the plastic content of their products where they can. On top of that they support Plastic Bank (Helping remove ocean-bound plastic while supporting fair-wage opportunities in vulnerable coastal communities) to complete the circle of production.


Hair smelt and felt very clean afterwards. Such beautiful ingredients in this shampoo. Who doesn’t love a plant-based shampoo that’s gentle, vegan-friendly, and Aussie made? It was impressive to read about their social and sustainable impact towards a better future.


A no-fuss, sulfate-free shampoo that gives a good wash. I love the consideration that has gone into both the ingredients and practices.
