OGX® Rejuvenating Cherry Blossom Ginseng Shampoo 13 FL OZ
Analysis updated August 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This shampoo contains harsh surfactants like Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate and Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, which can strip natural oils and cause dryness and irritation to the scalp and hair. However, it also includes Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, a gentler coconut-derived surfactant, which provides some balance. The presence of these harsher ingredients, along with the processed nature of the product, limits its overall score.
