Description
Lifebuoy Herbal Shampoo 90ml Bottle is a gentle, natural hair care product from Lifebuoy, designed for daily use to strengthen and nourish hair. Infused with milk protein and neem tree extract, it repairs from root to tip without harsh chemicals, promoting shine and health for all hair types. Popular in Pakistan for its herbal formula against pollution and hard water effects in cities like Lahore or Karachi, it’s available in a 90ml bottle for Rs. 150-170, over-the-counter, and stocked in DRAP-registered stores.
How It Functions
The milk protein formula penetrates hair shafts to repair damage and build strength, while neem extract provides antimicrobial benefits to soothe the scalp and reduce dandruff. This combination cleanses gently, removing dirt without stripping natural oils, and the herbal ingredients hydrate for smoother, longer-lasting shine. Effects are noticeable after 1-2 washes, with cumulative strengthening over regular use.

Doctor Review
Dr. Zara Khan, a dermatologist in Karachi, notes Lifebuoy Herbal Shampoo’s neem-milk blend suits pollution-exposed scalps, strengthening hair without sulfates. It’s a solid daily option for Pakistanis with hard water, but Dr. Khan advises pairing with conditioner for dry hair types.
