When Anna Asi's grandson was born with severe allergies, she turned to what her family had always known. Five generations of botanical recipes, refined over more than a century. She spent years working to bring that heritage to everyone - formulating a shampoo clean enough to trust, powerful enough to work.
"Our mission is your health, not our wealth."
— Anna Asi, FounderMost “sulfate-free” formulas substitute synthetic isethionates for SLS — a swap in name only. Jadu uses sugar-derived and coconut-derived cleansers that lift buildup without stripping color, curl pattern, or scalp moisture.
Pro-Vitamin B5 penetrates the hair shaft to hydrate and improve elasticity from the inside. No dimethicone film, no silicone buildup over time — just measurable softness and improved manageability from the first wash.
Low-molecular-weight wheat protein penetrates the cuticle to reinforce the hair shaft and reduce visible breakage — not in a separate treatment, but in the shampoo itself. A standard almost no formula in this category meets.
Free of phthalates, parabens, formaldehyde-releasers, sulfates, and synthetic fragrance — a standard no premium shampoo brand currently occupies. Formulated to be safe across every stage: pregnancy, postpartum, and daily use beyond.

How to use Jadu Shampoo
Safe for all hair types — color-treated, curly, chemically processed, fine, and thinning. Pregnancy-safe. Gentle enough for daily use.
Saturate hair and scalp with warm water before applying.
Apply a small amount of Jadu Shampmoo to the scalp. Emulsify with water, then work through lengths.
Rinse until water runs clear. A second wash produces fuller lather if needed.
Pair with Jadu Conditioner for full slip and bond care.
Plant-based surfactants lather less than sulfates — that is the trade-off for a genuinely cleaner formula.
The Full Ritual
The shampoo and conditioner complete the ritual. Every product now has a role, and every step builds on the last.
Apply to scalp 30–60 min before washing. Deeply hydrates and preps the scalp before water or lather touches it.
2x weekly
Apply generously to dry ends at the same time. Leave 60+ min before washing, or overnight for intensive repair.
2–3x weekly
Sulfate-free lather that rinses away buildup while preserving the scalp's natural balance. The cleaner the base, the better everything else works.
Every wash
Apply mid-lengths to ends while hair is still wet. Leave 2–3 min, then rinse. Seals the strand and adds softness without silicone coating.
Every wash
After washing or any time of day. Apply directly to scalp with the precision tip. Water-based, no residue, works on dry or styled hair.
