IntrinsiCurly Me Come Clean Gentle Cleanser 250ml

A sulphate-free, creamy gentle cleanser — a lightweight alternative to a co-wash, made for wavy and fine hair that finds heavier washes too much.

What it does

Gently cleanses and lifts buildup without stripping natural oils, and starts controlling frizz from the wash. Adds light moisture so fine hair stays clean and bouncy, never weighed down.

Highlighted ingredients
  • Cocamidopropyl betaine — a gentle, coconut-derived cleanser that washes without stripping.
  • Grape seed oil — lightweight hydration without heaviness.
  • Wheat germ oil — vitamin-E-rich nourishment that helps protect strands.
Good to know

It's creamy and non-lathering — that's normal for a low-poo cleanser, and it still cleanses well. Best for wavy and fine hair, and for curlies who find a co-wash too heavy; gentle enough for kids and safe for colour-treated hair. For heavy product or silicone buildup, reach for Just To Clarify instead. Works well in Cape Town's humidity and hard water. Contains wheat germ oil, soybean protein, and coconut-derived ingredients (cocamidopropyl betaine, isopropyl myristate) — patch test if you have wheat, soy, or coconut sensitivities.

Formulation

Vegan, cruelty-free, and Curly Girl Method friendly. Free from sulphates and silicones.

How to use

On thoroughly wet hair, massage about a tablespoon into the scalp in circular motions, then milk it through from roots to ends, adding water to help it glide. Massage 2–3 minutes on built-up areas, rinse well, then follow with The One & Only Creamy Conditioner.

Complete the routine

Cleanse with Come Clean, condition with The One & Only Creamy Conditioner, then define with Crème De La Curl or Hold Me Baby Gel. Curlier or coilier? Try the Mint to Be Co-Wash instead. Reset monthly with Just To Clarify. See the full IntrinsiCurly Me range, or read our complete guide to curly hair products in South Africa.

FAQs

How is it different from regular shampoo? It's a mild, sulphate-free cleanser that washes without stripping natural oils — lighter than a co-wash, ideal for wavy and fine hair.

Cleanser or co-wash — which should I use? Come Clean is the lighter option for wavy and fine hair; the Mint to Be Co-Wash suits curly and coily hair that wants more moisture.

Does it lather? No — it's creamy and non-lathering, but still cleanses effectively.

Can it remove heavy buildup? It handles light to moderate buildup; for silicones or heavy residue, use Just To Clarify periodically.
