For the swimmer who wants their hair back. California Baby Swimmer’s Defense Shampoo & Bodywash is California Baby’s most moisturizing and nourishing shampoo — designed to wash chlorine and saltwater out gently yet thoroughly, restore hair’s natural pH, and bring shine back to dry, brittle, or post-swim hair. Scented with lemongrass and gardenia flowers: summertime in Provence, in a bottle. 100% USDA Certified Bio-Based. Available in 2oz, 8.5oz, 19oz, and 64oz half-gallon. Made in the USA.

Why Swimmers Love It

Chlorine and saltwater strip hair’s natural pH and leave it dry, brittle, and dull. Swimmer’s Defense is formulated specifically to reverse that — washing out the chlorine and salt while rebalancing pH and restoring moisture in the same step. The cleansing power comes from certified organic, sustainably harvested soap bark and plant-based glucosides: effective enough to remove pool and ocean residue, gentle enough not to strip or dry the skin in the process. Certified organic calendula and aloe vera soothe and moisturize while you wash. The scent is 100% pure lemongrass and gardenia essential oils, with zero synthetic fragrance chemicals.

USDA Certified Bio-Based

Every ingredient in this formula (excluding water) is plant-based. No petrochemical synthetics — certified by the USDA. The preservative system is California Baby’s exclusive basil and anise isolate formula, 100% plant-based, first-of-its-kind, six years in development. For extra hydration, pair with the Swimmer’s Defense Hair Conditioner. By California Baby.
