Davines Essential Haircare MINU Shampoo 250ml/1000ml
Davines Essential Haircare MINU Shampoo is a gentle color-protecting shampoo for colored hair. It cleanses while helping preserve vibrancy, shine, softness, and a smooth finish.
The updated formula includes a chelating feature to help remove dulling hard water metals and mineral residues. Certified regenerative green coffee extract helps protect hair from oxidative stress linked to color fading.
The vegan formula contains 91.9% naturally derived ingredients and 98.5% biodegradable ingredients, calculated according to OECD 301.
Texture: A rich, creamy texture creates a soft, velvety lather that gently envelops the hair.
Scent: Zesty citrus and soft floral notes blend into musk and patchouli for a fresh, balanced fragrance.
Benefits
- Provides gentle cleansing for colored hair.
- Helps preserve color vibrancy and intensity.
- Removes dulling hard water metals and minerals.
- Supports soft, silky smooth, shiny hair.
- Helps protect against oxidative stress linked to fading.
Official instrumental testing on hair locks exposed to UV light or repeated washing showed color vibrancy lasting up to 4 weeks when using the full MINU routine, compared with a control shampoo without color protecting benefits.
The tested routine included MINU Shampoo, MINU Conditioner or MINU Hair Mask, and MINU leave in milk. This result should not be interpreted as an effect from MINU Shampoo alone.
A separate instrumental test demonstrated the chelating action of MINU Shampoo on Fe, Cu, Mg, and Ca, compared with a placebo without chelating action.
Key Ingredients

Product Questions
What does the Previous Version option mean?
The Previous Version option refers to the former packaging and formula and is available while stocks last. The product supplied will match the image assigned to the selected option.
The product information and INCI shown on this page apply to the standard 250ml and 1000ml options without the Previous Version label.
Does the 1000ml size include a pump?
The 1000ml size generally includes one pump for easier dispensing, subject to Davines HK supply and stock availability.
Why does MINU Shampoo remove metals and minerals from hard water? Is this the same as limescale?
Hard water may leave metal and mineral residues on the hair, including Fe, Cu, Mg, and Ca. These residues can compromise color shine and make colored hair appear dull.
This is not the same as claiming that MINU Shampoo removes household limescale. Its chelating action is designed to help remove hard water residues that may remain on the hair.
Does the up to 4 week result apply to MINU Shampoo alone?
No. The result was measured using the full MINU routine, including MINU Shampoo, MINU Conditioner or MINU Hair Mask, and MINU leave in milk. It should not be interpreted as a result from MINU Shampoo alone.
