Review of Aubrey Organics GPB and Camomile Volumizing Shampoos.
Given my raving review of the Aubrey GPB hair conditioner, it’s only fitting that I profile the company’s shampoos as well. Especially since these are the only shampoos I’ve been using for the past six months. I have yet to find a better price plus quality combination.
But let’s not jump ahead. Allow me to present you with a pretty thorough analysis of two of Aubrey Organics shampoos I’ve been especially addicted to.
Product name:
Aubrey Organics GPB Shampoo (Glycogen Protein Balancing)
and Camomile Luxurious Volumizing Shampoo.
What and who is it for:
GPB shampoo is for all hair types and it “cleanses and strengthens for full, shiny, healthy hair”.
The volumizing shampoo is for normal hair, and it “cleaneses & tones for bouncy hair and brilliant shine”.
About the brand:
For a review of Aubrey Organics, please see my “about the brand section” in the Aubrey GPB hair conditioner review.
Price:
The price is the most reasonable price for something of such quality. It’s somewhere under 10 Canadian dollars for an 11 oz bottle. But most stores have the two-for-one deals where a shampoo and conditioner are sold together. I’ve been going with that system and getting both (shampoo and conditioner) for about 12 dollars. Really worth it, in my opinion.
Packaging:
Regular bottles, as far as I can tell.
Claims:
GPB Balancing Shampoo:
Volumizing Shampoo:
Reading the ingredients:

Scent:
GPB:
I find the smell a bit sweet. Very pleasant and subtle.
Volumizing:
The camomile volumizing shampoo does a good job of smelling like chamomile. In fact, it smells very much like my favorite chamomile tea.
Texture:
GPB:
This one has an unusual texture for a shampoo. It’s a bit watery and feels like there are tiny particles dissolved. So be careful when pouring it on – more comes out then you’d expect. It lathers without any issues though.
Volumizing:
A regular shampoo texture. Just the right amount of gooiness…
What does it do:
It does miracles on your head, without any suspects and side effects. My hair is healthier and stronger than it’s been in ages. I tend to rotate the shampoos, as most of the times I reach for them with my eyes semi-closed. Combined, though, they definitely resulted in a healthy strong and quite volumy hair…
Verdict:
These are both great shampoos. As far as I’m concerned, Aubrey Organics shampoos are the best bang for your organic buck. You get great ingredients, and a fully effective product. So, buy whichever one is on special, and you won’t regret it

The GPB shampoo and conditioner were the first truly natural products I ever bought and I really liked them. I still use the conditioner occasionally, but I’ve switched to the Calaguala Fern shampoo as I have horribly oily hair.
If my hair ever normalises itself someday, I shall definitely consider going back to the GPB shampoo. We get the 2-in-1 combi-pack here in the UK too and it’s very good value.
if you have corse hair dont try detangling your hair with White Camellia Ultra-Smoothing Conditioner 11oz trust me! it didnt work on my 3b hair type…positive note: more shine and less frizz
Wow! Awesome post! I am so glad i found another fan of Aubrey Organics! I started by using both of those shampoos and conditioners and now I have moved on to the Rosa Mosqueta line, which is supposed to be for color treated hair. I adore the safety and pureness of this company’s products and will continue to recommend it to everyone!
