Mikroplastik in der Haarpflege – und warum SHAZAY es konsequent meidet

Microplastics in hair care – and why SHAZAY consistently avoids them

in news
Less residue. More clarity. 

Barely visible, but omnipresent: Microplastics are contained in many conventional care products – including shampoos, conditioners and styling products . 
SHAZAY takes a different approach. We consciously avoid any form of microplastics – for your hair, your scalp, and the environment. 

What is microplastic – and what does it do to hair? 
Microplastics are solid, synthetic polymer particles smaller than 5 millimeters in size. They are used in hair care products, for example.  B. used to improve texture, provide shine or make hair easier to comb . 
They have no caring effect , but are purely for the feel or short-term appearance. 

What types of microplastics are found in cosmetics? 
  • Solid microplastic particles , e.g.  B. as peeling bodies or fillers​
  • Liquid synthetic polymers that are found in wastewater during washing
  • Gel-like plastic compounds, for example as film formers or for gloss effects
What they all have in common is that they are not biodegradable and enter the soil, rivers and oceans via wastewater – often with uncertain effects on the environment and health. 

Why SHAZAY deliberately avoids 
We believe that real care should not leave any synthetic residue – neither on the hair nor in nature. 
That's why every SHAZAY care recipe is free of microplastics - and we do so with complete conviction.
Instead of artificial additives, we rely on: 
✔️ Diamond Filtered Water – our pure, ozonated water base 
✔️ high-quality oils, proteins and plant-based active ingredients 
✔️ Transparent formulations without microplastics, parabens or silicones 
For clear care that works – without leaving traces. 

Conclusion: Fewer particles. More responsibility. 
SHAZAY stands for modern hair care with attitude. 
We consistently formulate microplastic-free products – not because we have to, but because we believe that real impact can also be honest. 

SHAZAY is more than a brand. SHAZAY is a feeling. 
And this feeling leaves no residue.

Silikone in der Haarpflege – und warum SHAZAY bewusst darauf verzichtet

Silikone in der Haarpflege – und warum SHAZAY bewusst darauf verzichtet

Glanz, Schutz, Trugbild? Wir klären auf.  Silikone gelten seit Jahren als beliebter Inhaltsstoff in Haarpflegeprodukten. Sie sorgen für Glanz, Geschmeidigkeit und ein gepflegtes Gefühl – zumindest auf den ersten Blick. Doch was steckt wirklich dahinter? Und warum kommt bei SHAZAY kein Silikon in die Flasche?  Was machen Silikone mit dem Haar?  Silikone legen sich wie ein feiner Film um jedes einzelne Haar. Das sorgt für sofortige Glätte, leichteres Kämmen und einen glänzenden Look. Besonders bei trockenem oder strapaziertem Haar fühlt sich das angenehm an – die Oberfläche wirkt wie versiegelt.  Doch genau das ist auch die Kehrseite: Silikone verschließen das Haar – und verhindern damit, dass echte Pflegewirkstoffe in die Tiefe vordringen. Auf Dauer kann das Haar unterversorgt, stumpf und schwer werden. Manche Silikone lassen sich zudem nur schwer auswaschen und bauen sich mit der Zeit auf.  Welche Arten von Silikonen gibt es? Nicht alle Silikone sind gleich. Man unterscheidet grob zwischen:  Nicht-wasserlöslichen Silikonen → haften besonders stark, schwer auswaschbar, können sich anlagern  Wasserlöslichen Silikonen → besser verträglich, leichter auszuspülen, aber dennoch synthetisch  Verdunstenden Silikonen (Volatile Silicones) → verdampfen nach dem Auftragen, sorgen kurzfristig für ein seidiges Gefühl  Trotz Unterschieden: Am Ende bleibt es ein synthetischer Film – kein echter Pflegeimpuls.  Warum SHAZAY auf Silikone verzichtet  SHAZAY steht für echte Pflege, die wirkt – nicht für Oberflächen-Effekte. Unsere Produkte verzichten konsequent auf Silikone, weil wir möchten, dass Dein Haar atmen, aufnehmen und regenerieren kann.  Statt künstlicher Glättung setzen wir auf:  ✔️ hochwertige Öle & pflanzenbasierte Wirkstoffe ✔️ Diamond Filtered Water als Basis für maximale Reinheit ✔️ Formulierungen, die wirken – ohne zu beschweren  Das Ergebnis ist ein Haargefühl, das nicht nur gut aussieht, sondern sich auch gesund anfühlt. Tag für Tag.  Fazit: Glanz kann täuschen – Pflege darf ehrlich sein  Silikone versprechen viel, aber geben dem Haar oft nicht das, was es langfristig braucht. SHAZAY steht für Klarheit, Verträglichkeit und echte Wirkung – ohne unnötige Zusätze.  SHAZAY ist mehr als eine Marke. SHAZAY ist ein Gefühl. Und dieses Gefühl beginnt mit echter Pflege – ganz ohne Silikone.

SHAZAY Hairspa: Wellness für Haar und Seele

SHAZAY Hairspa: Wellness for hair and soul

A new ritual for those who want to feel more  What if hair care could do more than just cleanse and condition?  What if it not only has an external effect, but also changes something internally?  This is exactly what the SHAZAY Hairspa was created for – a holistic wellness ritual that brings hair, scalp and soul into harmony.  A moment just for you  In a time when everything has to happen quickly, true relaxation is rare. The SHAZAY Hairspa is an invitation to unwind – and take your hair and scalp care to a new level.  The ritual consists of seven coordinated steps – from gentle cleansing to deep conditioning and the soothing SHAZAY head massage. Each step is deliberately designed to not only have an effect, but also to touch.  The special feature: Diamond Filtered Water  At the heart of the product is an element that makes SHAZAY unique: Diamond Filtered Water . This ultrapure water is freed from residues, bacteria, and other impurities in a special process – and forms the basis of all SHAZAY products. It ensures that active ingredients can penetrate particularly deeply and the scalp is gently yet intensively cared for. Deep relaxation meets modern hair care  A highlight of the ritual is the Diamond Steam Treatment , in which warm steam opens the scalp and prepares it for treatment. And the Diamond Dhara , a flowing stream of water along the forehead, inspired by Ayurvedic treatments—for a moment that calms body and mind.  The end result is not just well-groomed hair – but the feeling of being back in touch with yourself.  Where can you experience the SHAZAY Hairspa ?  The SHAZAY Hairspa is offered in select luxury hotels, spas , and hairspa salons . Hotels such as the Mandarin Oriental , Le Méridien , and The Temple House are already implementing this holistic concept.  And best of all, it's accessible to anyone who wants to treat themselves to a break. Whether as a special treat on vacation, as a gift for someone dear to you—or as a regular moment just for yourself. SHAZAY Hairspa is more than just a treatment.  It's self-care . For today. For you. For your hair.

Was bedeutet „dermatologisch getestet“ eigentlich genau?

What exactly does “dermatologically tested” mean?

And why SHAZAY offers more than a standard promise.  Many care products carry the "dermatologically tested" label. At SHAZAY, it means more than just a mandatory test: It's part of our quality standards – and a clear commitment to skin and scalp compatibility.  Dermatologically tested – a brief overview  If a product is considered "dermatologically tested," it has been tested for compatibility under the supervision of dermatologists . This involves closely observing how the skin reacts to application—whether it remains calm or shows irritation.  The goal: to ensure that a product is gentle on the skin – even with regular use. What makes SHAZAY different  At SHAZAY, dermatological testing is a matter of course – but it is only part of our holistic approach.  All SHAZAY products are:  ✔️ dermatologically tested  ✔️ free from parabens, silicones and microplastics  ✔️ developed with Diamond Filtered Water – an ultra-pure water that is gentle on the skin while supporting the effectiveness of the ingredients  This is a real advantage, especially for sensitive or stressed scalps: The care remains effective, yet light. Noticeable. Safe. Why this creates trust  We believe that skin compatibility should not be an extra, but the basis.  That's why every SHAZAY product is designed to deliver its full effect – without putting unnecessary strain on the skin.  Because care should not only make you beautiful, but also feel good.  SHAZAY is more than a brand. SHAZAY is a feeling.  A feeling of security, ease – and real trust.
