Sandalwood & Amber Haircare by Ecoya | Shampoo, Conditioner & Refills

Preorder - please allow up to 10 working days for delivery. The shower is the one room where fragrance has nowhere to hide, which is exactly what makes this range so satisfying. Ecoya has taken Sandalwood & Amber, one of its most requested scents, and built a shampoo and conditioner around it, so the warmth you already know from the candle now follows you through the morning. Almond oil does the work underneath the fragrance, leaving hair soft, shiny and properly nourished rather than coated. There is no silicone, no propylene glycol, no parabens and no artificial colours, which is the short version of why hair still feels like hair afterwards. Ecoya describes it as bringing spa-day to your every day, and for once that is not overstating it. The scent opens bright with ginger, lime, lemon and mandarin, softens through violet and rose, and settles into sandalwood, musk and amber. It is grown-up and unisex, woody rather than sweet, which is part of why it works so well in a shared bathroom. Should I buy the bottle or the refill? Start with the 450ml bottle, because the weighted pump and matte finish are made to be left out on the vanity. After that, move to the 1L refill pouch. You get more than double the volume for ten dollars more, and Ecoya puts the saving at 83% less plastic than buying two 450ml bottles, with lower carbon emissions on top. Plenty of our eco friendly regulars buy one bottle and keep two pouches in the cupboard. Will it suit my hair type? Yes. This is a gentle everyday shampoo and a light conditioner rather than a treatment system, so it suits most hair types, colour-treated hair included. If your hair runs very dry, use the conditioner through the mid-lengths and ends and leave the roots alone. How far does the refill system go? Further than most people expect. Ecoya now offers the 1L pouch across four products in the range, so once you are set up with bottles you can refill your haircare and your bodycare from the same system. Layer it with the matching Ecoya Hand & Body Lotion and the scent carries well past the shower. As a gift, this one is quietly excellent. A shampoo and conditioner pair covers a housewarming, a milestone birthday or a thank you for someone who hosts a lot, and the refills make a good top-up gift for anyone already loyal to the scent. It is a safe choice for a man in your life too, which is rare in bodycare, so it earns a place in gift ideas for him as easily as it does in gift ideas for her. For a fuller present, pair it with the Ecoya Bathroom Edit Gift Set or add a Madison jar candle in the same fragrance so the whole room reads as one thought. Browse the full Ecoya range or the wider bathroom collection to build the set. Why You'll Love It One of Ecoya's signature fragrances, finally in a format you use every single day Almond oil leaves hair soft, shiny and nourished rather than coated No silicone, propylene glycol, parabens or artificial colours Warm woody scent that suits everyone in the house, not just one person The 1L refill uses 83% less plastic than two 450ml bottles and cuts carbon emissions Refill pouches now cover four products in the range, so one system does haircare and bodycare Layers with the matching lotion, hand wash and candle for a properly finished bathroom Where It Lives Best Leave the 450ml bottles out in the shower or on the vanity edge. The soft blue-grey finish sits beautifully against white tile, pale timber and unlacquered brass, and it reads as considered rather than cluttered when the pair stand together. Keep the refill pouches in the cupboard below, not on display. If you want the shelf to look styled, group the two bottles with a folded linen hand towel, a small ceramic dish for rings, and one low candle. Three heights, one colour family, nothing else. In a small bathroom, skip the tray and let the bottles sit directly on the vanity so the surface stays visually open. In essence Ecoya's Sandalwood & Amber haircare brings the brand's signature woody fragrance into everyday use, available as a 450ml shampoo or conditioner at $39.95 each, or a 1L refill pouch at $49.95. Both formulas are built on almond oil to leave hair soft, shiny and nourished, and both are free from silicone, propylene glycol, parabens and artificial colours. The scent moves from ginger, lime, lemon and mandarin through violet and rose to sandalwood, musk and amber. The 1L refill uses 83% less plastic than two 450ml bottles and reduces carbon emissions, and the same pouch format now covers four products across the range. Available at Flux Boutique, Mount Maunganui, with New Zealand-wide delivery.
