Ecoslay Peppermint Schnapps Hair Wash
Founded by chemist Carmen Ferreira-Roberts in Atlanta, Ecoslay is the small-batch, vegan, plant-based curl-care line that's earned cult status across natural-hair communities. Every formula is hand-mixed in small batches with food-grade botanical ingredients. Ecoslay Peppermint Schnapps Hair Wash is a sulphate-free cleanser from the brand — stocked at Zenvy Beauty UK with free delivery over £40 and next-working-day shipping if you order before 2pm.
What it does
Lifts build-up, oil and product residue without stripping the cuticle's moisture balance. Sulphate-free formulas are safe for colour-treated hair.
Hair type
Best for type 2C through 4C textures. The brand formulates broadly across the curl spectrum — adjust application amount based on density and porosity. Wavy and looser-curl users should start with smaller amounts to avoid weigh-down.
Frequently asked
How often should I wash with this?
Most curlies use a sulphate-free cleanser like Ecoslay Peppermint Schnapps Hair Wash every 4–7 days, depending on build-up, scalp condition and how much product you layer between washes. If you co-wash mid-week, this becomes your weekly deep-clean.
Is it sulphate-free and colour-safe?
Refer to the ingredient list above for SLS / SLES. Sulphate-free formulas are safe for colour-treated hair and won't strip your curl pattern or fade your colour.
Will it strip my curls?
Used as recommended (every 4–7 days), no — the cleanser lifts build-up without disrupting the cuticle's moisture balance. If you have very high-porosity hair, follow with a deep conditioner or mask to lock moisture back in.
Can I follow this with any conditioner?
Yes — pair with any rinse-out conditioner that suits your texture. Ecoslay makes complementary conditioners; pairing within-brand often gives the most consistent result, but cross-brand routines work fine too.
