What is HONEY & MACADAMIA Natural Shampoo?

It is KUNDAL's shampoo (500ml). Its own ingredient list names Honey Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Sodium Cocoyl Alaninate, Lauryl Hydroxysultaine, positioned the way the key-actives panel on this page describes, rather than actives assumed from the product name. It is used in the shower, worked through wet hair and scalp before rinsing.

How do I use HONEY & MACADAMIA Natural Shampoo?

Massage into wet hair and scalp, lather, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with conditioner. Keep the same order every time you use it so you can tell what is actually working, and give a new step a few weeks before judging the result.

Is HONEY & MACADAMIA Natural Shampoo the authentic Korean-market formula?

Yes. This listing is KUNDAL's Korean-market formula: the same ingredient list, barcode and batch code as the unit sold on shelves in Korea, rather than a version reformulated for US retail. That is the whole reason to buy a Korean-market brand from a specialist rather than a general retailer.

Can I use HONEY & MACADAMIA Natural Shampoo every wash?

Yes, HONEY & MACADAMIA Natural Shampoo is formulated for regular use as part of a normal hair or scalp routine rather than an occasional treatment. Introduce it on its own for the first week or two so you can judge how your hair or scalp responds before adding anything else.

Who is HONEY & MACADAMIA Natural Shampoo suited for?

It suits fine hair, thick hair, color-treated hair and dry scalp skin, and it is not restricted to any one skin tone or age group. As with any new step, patch-test on the inner arm first if you are new to this formula or to KUNDAL.

How it works

HONEY & MACADAMIA Natural Shampoo is a shampoo from KUNDAL. KUNDAL is a Korean haircare and body-care brand best known for its shampoo lines, sold in a wide range of fragrance variants that share the same wash base. On this jar's own ingredient list, Honey Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Sodium Cocoyl Alaninate, Lauryl Hydroxysultaine are named directly, which is what the key-actives panel on this page is built from rather than from the product name alone. Honey Extract is honey, a natural humectant used across Korean hair and skin formulas, and it is why this shampoo is positioned the way it is. Use it in the shower, worked through wet hair and scalp before rinsing. KUNDAL sells this as the Korean-market formula, the same one stocked on shelves in Korea rather than a version built for the US market.

76 of 81 explained

Water solvent: Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
Sodium Cocoyl Alaninate surfactant: An amino-acid surfactant made from coconut fatty acids and alanine. It foams less aggressively than a sulfate and rinses without the tight feeling.
Lauryl Hydroxysultaine surfactant: Lauryl Hydroxysultaine is a mild secondary surfactant that keeps foaming even in hard water and at low pH.
Lauryl Glucoside surfactant: A sugar surfactant made from glucose and a fatty alcohol. Glucosides carry no charge, which is what makes them mild, and they give a soft low foam.
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate surfactant: Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is a coconut-derived surfactant that gives a dense, creamy foam while staying mild. It is the usual choice in syndet cleansing bars.
Erythritol humectant: Erythritol is a sugar alcohol humectant with a faint cooling feel as it dissolves. It hydrates and helps a formula spread without tack.
Glycerin humectant: Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate surfactant: Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate is a mild coconut-derived surfactant known for a rich, creamy lather that rinses without tightness.
Honey Extract humectant: Honey is a natural humectant loaded with sugars and trace acids. In a formula it holds water at the surface and leaves a soft, cushioned feel.
Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Extract plant extract: Sesame seed extract. It carries sesamol and sterols and is used as a conditioning, antioxidant-rich extract.
Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Flower Extract plant extract: Evening Primrose Flower Extract is used as a conditioning plant extract. The seed oil of the same plant is the better known part, and it is a different ingredient.
Glycine Soja (Soybean) Seed Extract plant extract: Soybean Seed Extract carries isoflavones, plant sterols and soy proteins. It is used as a conditioning antioxidant extract.

64 more explained

Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract plant extract: Lowbush blueberry fruit extract, high in anthocyanins. Berry extracts are used as plant antioxidants and can tint a formula.
Undaria Pinnatifida Extract plant extract: Extract of the brown seaweed Korean cooking calls miyeok. It carries fucoidan and alginates, both strong water-holding polysaccharides.
Fragaria Chiloensis (Strawberry) Fruit Extract plant extract: Beach strawberry fruit extract. It carries fruit acids, vitamin C and anthocyanins and is used as an antioxidant conditioning extract.
Morus Alba Root Extract plant extract: White mulberry bark extract, one of the classic East Asian plant ingredients used for the look of uneven tone. It carries mulberroside and flavonoids.
Cornus Officinalis Fruit Extract plant extract: Japanese cornel dogwood fruit, the sansuyu of Korean herbal medicine. Its extract carries fruit acids and iridoids and is used as a conditioning extract.
Taraxacum Officinale (Dandelion) Leaf Extract plant extract: Dandelion leaf extract, carrying flavonoids, minerals and plant acids. It is used as a conditioning antioxidant extract.
Rubus Fruticosus (Blackberry) Fruit Extract plant extract: Blackberry fruit extract. Like the other dark berries it is rich in anthocyanins and is used as a plant antioxidant.
Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract plant extract: Rice Extract is the anchor of the Korean rice-skincare category. It carries starches, amino acids and ferulic acid, and it is used for the look of dullness and for a soft, blurred finish.
Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract plant extract: Lotus flower extract, from the same sacred lotus as the leaf. It carries flavonoids and sugars and is used as a conditioning, hydrating extract.
Angelica Gigas Root Extract plant extract: Korean angelica root, a staple of Korean herbal medicine. Its extract carries coumarins and is used as a conditioning herbal extract.
Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract plant extract: Roselle hibiscus extract, deep red from anthocyanins and naturally acidic. It carries plant acids and is used as an antioxidant extract.
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract plant extract: Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine.
Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract plant extract: Ulmus Davidiana is Japanese elm, whose inner bark yields a naturally slippery mucilage. Korean formulas use the root extract for that cushioned feel and for the look of reactive skin.
Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Extract plant extract: Lavender Flower Extract is the water-based extract rather than the essential oil, so it is much milder and less aromatic.
Melissa Officinalis Leaf Extract plant extract: Lemon balm extract, a mint-family herb rich in rosmarinic acid. It is used as an antioxidant conditioning extract with a light lemon scent.
Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract plant extract: Chamomile Flower Extract is one of the oldest ingredients in skincare, carrying bisabolol and chamazulene. It is used for the look of redness in formulas for reactive skin.
Centella Asiatica Extract plant extract: Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid.
Pelargonium Graveolens Extract plant extract: Rose geranium extract, the water-soluble fraction rather than the essential oil. It is used as a conditioning extract with a rose-like scent.
Origanum Vulgare Leaf Extract plant extract: Oregano leaf extract, rich in the phenols carvacrol and thymol. It is used as an antioxidant plant extract and brings its own herbal scent with it.
Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract plant extract: Eucalyptus leaf extract, the water-based extract rather than the essential oil. It carries tannins and flavonoids with only a trace of the aroma.
Panax Ginseng Root Extract plant extract: Ginseng Root Extract is the signature ingredient of Korean traditional skincare, carrying ginsenosides. It is used for the look of tired, dull skin, and brands often ferment it to break the ginsenosides into smaller forms.
Rehmannia Chinensis Root Extract plant extract: Rehmannia root extract, one of the most used roots in East Asian herbal practice. It carries catalpol and sugars, so it also brings a little water holding character.
Pueraria Lobata Root Extract plant extract: Pueraria Lobata is kudzu. Its root extract carries isoflavones, plant compounds structurally similar to oestrogen, and Korean formulas use it for the look of thinning, less resilient skin.
Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Extract plant extract: Thyme extract, carrying the phenols thymol and carvacrol. It is used as an antioxidant plant extract and resists microbes.
Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Extract plant extract: Tea Tree Leaf Extract is the water-based extract rather than the essential oil, so it is far milder and much less aromatic. It is used in formulas for blemish-prone skin.
Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Extract plant extract: Peppermint leaf extract, the water-based extract rather than the essential oil, so it carries far less menthol. It is used as a refreshing herbal extract.
Glycyrrhiza Uralensis (Licorice) Root Extract plant extract: Licorice Root Extract carries glabridin and liquiritin. It is one of the classic plant ingredients used for the look of uneven tone and redness, and it appears in almost every brightening formula that avoids synthetic actives.
Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract plant extract: Rosemary Leaf Extract carries rosmarinic and carnosic acids, both effective antioxidants. It is often there to keep the oils in a formula from going rancid.
Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract plant extract: Scutellaria Baicalensis is Chinese skullcap. Its root extract carries baicalin, a well studied plant antioxidant, and it is used for the look of redness.
Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract ferment: An extract of brewer's yeast, the same organism used to make bread and beer. It supplies amino acids, sugars and beta-glucan and is used as a conditioning ferment.
Laminaria Japonica Extract plant extract: Laminaria Japonica is kombu kelp. Its extract carries alginates, minerals and iodine, and it is used as a hydrating, mineral-rich ingredient.
Salicornia Herbacea Extract plant extract: Glasswort, the hamcho that grows on Korean tidal flats. It concentrates sea minerals as it grows, so its extract is used as a mineral-rich hydrating ingredient.
Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract plant extract: Pinus Palustris is longleaf pine. Its needle extract carries plant antioxidants and appears in Korean formulas alongside other conifer extracts.
Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract plant extract: Polygonum Cuspidatum is Japanese knotweed, the main commercial source of resveratrol. Its root extract is used as an antioxidant plant extract.
Diospyros Kaki Fruit Extract plant extract: Persimmon fruit extract. It carries tannins, sugars and vitamin C, and it is used as an antioxidant, conditioning extract.
Camellia Japonica Leaf Extract plant extract: The leaf extract of the Korean camellia, the same plant as the seed oil pressed on Jeju. It is used as a conditioning antioxidant extract.
Ceratonia Siliqua (Carob) Fruit Extract plant extract: Carob fruit extract, carrying sugars, tannins and polyphenols. It is used as a conditioning extract, and the seed of the same tree gives carob gum.
Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil emollient: Argan Oil is pressed from the argan kernel and is rich in oleic and linoleic acids plus vitamin E. It is a medium-weight emollient that absorbs reasonably fast.
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil emollient: Jojoba Oil is a liquid wax rather than a true oil, and its structure is close to human sebum, which is why it absorbs so readily. It is an emollient that leaves a soft, non-greasy finish.
Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil emollient: Coconut Oil is high in lauric acid, which makes it a rich emollient and partial occlusive. It is well known to be poorly suited to blemish-prone skin.
Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil emollient: Avocado oil, rich in oleic acid and plant sterols. It is one of the heavier plant oils, which suits dry skin and cleansing balms.
Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil emollient: Macadamia Seed Oil is unusually high in palmitoleic acid, a fatty acid that human sebum also contains, which is why it absorbs faster than most nut oils. It is a cushioning emollient for dry skin.
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter emollient: Shea Butter is the fat pressed from the shea nut, rich in oleic and stearic acids and unsaponifiable plant sterols. It is a heavy emollient and partial occlusive, which is why it sits in balms and night creams rather than in essences.
Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride film former: Guar gum given a positive charge so it clings to hair and skin through a rinse. It is the plant-derived conditioning polymer in most sulfate-free shampoos.
Polyquaternium-10 film former: A cellulose polymer carrying a positive charge. It deposits from a rinse-off formula onto hair or skin and leaves a smooth, anti-static film.
Sodium Chloride thickener: Sodium Chloride is salt. In a cleanser it thickens the liquid; in a mask or essence it balances the mineral content of the water phase. It has no active role.
Betaine humectant: Betaine is a sugar-beet-derived humectant that cells use to hold water. In a formula it hydrates and takes the edge off cleansers and acids, which is why it often appears alongside them.
Allantoin active: Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin.
Panthenol humectant: Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5: skin converts it to pantothenic acid. It is a humectant that holds water and leaves skin feeling soft and less tight, and it is one of the ingredients formulators reach for when a formula also contains something harsh.
Arginine amino acid: Arginine is an amino acid that does two jobs here: it holds water in the outer layer of skin, and it neutralises acidic gelling agents, which is why it often stands in for a synthetic pH adjuster.
Sodium Gluconate chelator: The sodium salt of gluconic acid, used to tie up trace metals so a formula stays stable. It is one of the gentler chelators.
Citric Acid pH adjuster: Citric Acid is used in tiny amounts to bring a formula to the pH its actives need, not as an exfoliant at that level. It is an AHA, so at much higher concentrations it can also exfoliate.
Coconut Acid fatty acid: Coconut Acid is the mixed fatty acids of coconut oil. Combined with an alkali in the same formula it forms the soap that does the cleansing.
Sodium Isethionate surfactant: Sodium Isethionate is the mild cleansing salt behind syndet bars. It foams in hard water where soap would leave a scum.
Butylene Glycol humectant: Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
Dipropylene Glycol humectant: Dipropylene Glycol is a glycol used as a solvent and a light humectant. Its main job is keeping the rest of the formula dissolved and the texture fluid rather than adding hydration of its own.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate active: Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is the licorice fraction Korean formulas use for the look of redness, and it is far more stable in water than the whole extract.
1,2-Hexanediol humectant: 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster: Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
Hydroxyacetophenone preservative booster: Hydroxyacetophenone is an antioxidant that also strengthens a preservative system, so a formula needs less traditional preservative. Korean formulas pair it with 1,2-hexanediol constantly.
Caprylyl Glycol preservative booster: Caprylyl Glycol is a glycol that conditions skin and, more importantly, strengthens a preservative system so less of the traditional preservative is needed. It appears in most modern formulas built without parabens.
Fragrance fragrance: Fragrance, or Parfum, is a single declaration standing for a whole scent blend, which can be dozens of materials. Regulators allow it as a trade secret, so a list showing only this word does not say what the scent is made of. It is the most common trigger named by people with reactive skin.
Citronellol fragrance component: Citronellol is a rose-geranium aromatic and one of the 26 fragrance components EU labelling names individually.
Geraniol fragrance component: Geraniol is a rose-scented aromatic found in geranium and citronella oils. It is one of the 26 declarable fragrance components.
