Sun Bum Revitalising Shampoo (Silicone Free & Colour Safe), Vegan and Cruelty Free, 300ml
Product description
The essentials
Sun Bum’s Revitalising Shampoo is a daily, hydrating wash aimed at people who want a rinse-out shampoo that helps hair feel more nourished without relying on silicones. The brand positions it as “silicone free and colour safe”, and the formula is described as vegan and cruelty free.
On paper, it’s built for the kind of hair-wash routine that most of us actually stick to: wet the hair, massage in, rinse, and—according to the instructions—follow with the matching conditioner. The promise here is moisture support, smoother hair, and help with tangles, with frizz control mentioned as well.
A quick limitation to keep in mind: this is still a shampoo, not a leave-in treatment. If your hair is very dry or chemically damaged, you may find you need extra support beyond a basic wash routine.
Key features that matter in everyday use
What stands out most is the combination of claims around hydration and manageability. The description notes deep nutrition and intense moisture, plus smoothing for hair that can be difficult to manage.
It also flags “humidity-resistant frizz control”, which is the kind of benefit that tends to feel noticeable in real life—especially on damp days—though results will vary depending on your hair type and styling habits.
The formula is said to include a blend featuring Coconut Oil, Banana, and Sunflower Seed oil, alongside Banana peel and pulp. Whether or not the specific oils match your hair perfectly is a personal thing, but having multiple conditioning-style ingredients suggests the goal is comfort and softness, not a stripped, squeaky-clean feel.
What you’ll notice after washing
Expect the experience to be more about how hair behaves after the rinse than anything radical happening instantly.
The shampoo is described as helping to: - restore lost moisture - reduce tangles - smooth hair - support frizz control in humidity
In practice, that usually translates to fewer “fight your hairbrush” moments—particularly on longer hair or hair that tangles easily. For example, if you wash in the evening, apply conditioner afterwards as directed, and then brush in the morning, this sort of formula is generally chosen to make that first detangling session less painful.
It’s marketed for all hair types, so it doesn’t come across as a niche product. Still, if your scalp is very sensitive or you already know you react badly to certain fruit-derived ingredients (banana-based formulations sometimes don’t suit everyone), you’ll want to approach cautiously.
Who it suits (and who might want to skip it)
It makes sense if you want a straightforward, everyday shampoo that’s positioned as colour safe and silicone free, while also aiming for moisture and easier detangling.
It’s also a reasonable match if you care about what’s in your bathroom cupboard: the description specifically states vegan, gluten free, and cruelty free.
It may not suit you if: - you’re looking for a very specific scalp-focused treatment (this is framed as a hydrating, reviving shampoo) - you prefer heavy, coating silicones for extra slip and long-lasting smoothness - you want something that works purely as a standalone, the instructions recommend using the Revitalising Conditioner for best results
How to use it for best results
The usage guidance is simple: wet your hair, lather, massage gently, then rinse out.
The brand’s own tip is to follow up with their Revitalising Conditioner. That matters because the shampoo is presented as part of a routine rather than a one-step cure-all.

Is it worth it?
If you want an everyday hydrating shampoo that’s silicone free and colour safe, with a moisture-and-frizz-control angle, Sun Bum Revitalising Shampoo is a solid candidate to try—especially if tangles and humidity frizz are regular annoyances.
It’s not necessarily the best fit if you’re after a targeted scalp treatment, or if you rely on leave-ins and styling products to do all the heavy lifting. In that case, a more intensive mask or a different approach might suit you better.
