FAQs
Mata Elemental Balancing Shampoo contains no tensides. That is the ingredient that most shampoos and other cleansing products contain to give them a lather. Lather is not necessary to clean hair. Mata Shampoo cleanses the hair in a unique way, using the ingredient Lava Earth, which doesn’t lather. Lava Earth is excellent for removing impurities, dirt, and build-up of product or toxins. Mata was designed to be as basic and simple a shampoo as you can possibly get to bring the hair back to its most natural and fundamental state of beauty.
These AKASHA Shampoos contain mild tensides, which are the ingredient that most shampoos and cleansers contain to create lather. We use mild and minimal tensides in these products because it makes the shampoo gentler on the hair and scalp and ultimately prevents buildup of product on the hair and scalp, which can be dulling to the hair’s vibrancy and can weigh down its volume.
A ton of lather is not necessary to properly cleanse the hair and scalp.
When you dilute the Shampoos, they are much more mild to hair and scalp—while retaining great cleansing power.
Our products are labeled as being good 24-27 months after their producing date. But if treat the products well you can use them even longer! {See next question for the best ways to keep your AKASHA SACRED products fresh.}

Absolutely not. Our products can be used purely for cosmetic purposes. And if you are interested in connecting with their spiritual and energetic aspects—and don’t know a lot about spiritual or energetic principles—they will still do their work on you. It’s a body trip, not a mind trip.

No. Our products can be used purely for cosmetic purposes with wonderful results. And if you're interested in going deeper, the spiritual and energetic principles behind AKASHA SACRED are non-denominational and draw on a multitude of different belief systems and traditions. In addition, the energies connected with any given product are broad and varied enough that you are likely to find something you resonate with. Finally, AKASHA SACRED is primarily based in universal principles around love, consciousness, inner guidance, connection with oneself and with life, letting go, and healing. These principles have no specific religious or spiritual origin or allegiance.
