The 50 Botanical Complex Formula

The 50 Botanical Complex Formula

At the heart of Tsubaki Black Shampoo lies our exclusive blend of 50 botanical extracts, carefully selected from traditional Japanese hair care wisdom and modern cosmetic science. This powerful complex includes Japanese camellia oil (tsubaki), renowned for centuries as the secret to beautiful, glossy hair.

Black pearl extract provides essential amino acids and minerals that strengthen hair structure from within. We’ve also incorporated rice bran oil, green tea extract, yuzu peel oil, and sakura flower extract to deliver comprehensive nourishment. Each of the 50 ingredients plays a specific role in restoring hair health, from repairing split ends to protecting against future damage.


How to Use for Maximum Results

How to Use for Maximum Results

For optimal performance, we recommend wetting hair thoroughly with warm water before applying Tsubaki Black Shampoo. Dispense a quarter-sized amount (more for longer or thicker hair) into your palm and emulsify with a small amount of water.

Massage the shampoo into your scalp using gentle circular motions, allowing the rich lather to work through your hair from roots to ends. The creamy texture allows the 50 botanical extracts to penetrate deeply during the cleansing process. Leave the lather on for 1-2 minutes to maximize absorption of nourishing ingredients.


Ingredients That Repair and Restore

Ingredients That Repair and Restore

Premium Japanese Botanicals

We source our signature Japanese camellia oil from carefully cultivated tsubaki trees in the Izu Peninsula. This precious oil contains over 85% oleic acid, the same fatty acid naturally present in human skin and hair, allowing for exceptional absorption and compatibility.

Black pearl extract provides a concentrated source of proteins, minerals, and glycolic acid that help rebuild damaged keratin structures. This rare ingredient works alongside our complex of 48 supporting botanicals to address multiple hair concerns simultaneously.

My hair has never looked this healthy
I’ve been using Tsubaki Black Shampoo for about six weeks and the difference is remarkable. My color-treated hair was so damaged from bleaching, but now it feels soft and looks shiny again. I love that it has 50 different botanicals working together to repair my hair. The bottle lasts forever too since you only need a small amount.

Finally found a shampoo that repairs damage
After years of heat styling, my hair was brittle and dull. Within three weeks of using this shampoo, I noticed significantly less breakage and my hair felt stronger. The 50 botanical formula really does make a difference—my hairdresser even commented on how much healthier my hair looks.

Luxurious formula with real results
The creamy lather feels so luxurious and the subtle floral scent is beautiful. I have fine hair and was worried this might be too heavy, but it actually gives me volume while repairing damage from my flat iron. I use it about four times a week and my hair has never looked better.

Perfect for chemically processed hair
I get highlights every eight weeks and my hair desperately needed something to counteract the damage. Tsubaki Black Shampoo has been a game-changer. The 50 botanicals seem to work from the inside out, and my color actually lasts longer now. It’s sulfate-free so it doesn’t strip my highlights either.

Worth every penny for damaged hair
I was skeptical about the price, but this shampoo is incredibly concentrated so it lasts much longer than drugstore brands. My hair was fried from bleaching and styling, and after a month of use, it feels like I got a professional treatment. The Japanese camellia oil is the real deal.

Great repair shampoo with noticeable shine
My hair is naturally dry and frizzy, especially in humid weather. After using Tsubaki Black Shampoo for about three weeks, I’ve noticed my hair is much smoother and shinier. It takes a little longer to rinse out than my old shampoo, but the results are worth it. The 500ml bottle has lasted me almost three months.

Your Questions About Tsubaki Black Shampoo Answered

For best results, we recommend using Tsubaki Black Shampoo 3-4 times per week. The rich concentration of 50 botanical extracts means your hair continues to benefit between washes.

If your hair is extremely damaged, you can use it daily for the first two weeks to jumpstart the repair process, then reduce to 3-4 times weekly. Those with oilier hair may prefer alternating with a lighter cleansing shampoo.

Yes, Tsubaki Black Shampoo is completely safe for color-treated, bleached, permed, or chemically straightened hair. Our sulfate-free formula is specifically designed to preserve color while repairing damage from chemical processing.

The 50 botanical complex actually helps extend color vibrancy by sealing the hair cuticle and preventing premature fading. Many of our customers find their color lasts 2-3 weeks longer when using this shampoo regularly.

Absolutely. Despite containing 50 nourishing botanicals, Tsubaki Black Shampoo has a lightweight formula that won’t weigh down fine or thin hair. The amino acid-based cleansers provide gentle cleansing while the botanical complex repairs damage without heavy buildup.

Many customers with fine hair report increased volume and body because healthier hair naturally has more lift at the roots. If you’re concerned about weight, start with a small amount and increase as needed.

A 500ml bottle of Tsubaki Black Shampoo typically lasts 2-3 months with regular use for most hair lengths. Because the formula is highly concentrated, you only need a quarter-sized amount (about 5ml) per wash for shoulder-length hair.

Those with longer or thicker hair may use slightly more, while shorter hairstyles often stretch the bottle closer to four months. The rich lather means you get approximately 50-60 washes per bottle, making it a cost-effective investment in hair repair.

Unlike conventional shampoos that rely on harsh detergents and synthetic ingredients, our 50 botanical complex combines traditional Japanese hair care ingredients with modern repair technology. Each botanical extract serves a specific purpose—from repairing split ends to protecting against heat damage.

The synergistic blend of camellia oil, black pearl extract, rice bran oil, green tea, yuzu, sakura, and 44 other botanicals works together to address multiple hair concerns simultaneously. This comprehensive approach delivers professional-level results you simply can’t achieve with single-ingredient or synthetic formulas.

While Tsubaki Black Shampoo delivers excellent results on its own, pairing it with our matching conditioner maximizes the repair benefits of the 50 botanical system. The shampoo cleanses and begins the repair process, while the conditioner seals the cuticle and locks in moisture.

For moderately damaged hair, the shampoo alone may be sufficient 2-3 times per week. For severely damaged, color-treated, or heat-styled hair, we strongly recommend using both products together for complete restoration and long-lasting shine.

Yes, Tsubaki Black Shampoo works beautifully on all hair textures—straight, wavy, curly, and coily. The 50 botanical formula adapts to your hair’s specific needs, providing lightweight moisture for fine hair and intensive repair for thick, coarse textures.

Curly and textured hair types particularly benefit from the rich camellia oil content, which helps define curls and reduce frizz without weighing down natural texture. The pH-balanced formula respects your hair’s natural structure while delivering targeted repair where you need it most.
