Description

Ichikami Smooth Care Shampoo 480ml is a silicone-free and sulfate-free shampoo by Kracie for hair that snags, tangles easily, or loses smoothness quickly between washes — using Pure Japanese Botanicals Premium Extract (ashitaba, red rice, camellia, soapberry, and rice bran) and amino acid cleansers to repair the cuticle during washing rather than simply adding surface slip. It is the entry-level product in the Kracie Ichikami range, developed specifically from research into Japanese women's hair texture.

  • Jun Wakusa (Pure Japanese Botanicals) Premium Extract — blend of ashitaba, camellia, soapberry, and rice bran that repairs lifted cuticle edges
  • Rice Bran Oil and Rice Germ Oil — Japanese rice actives that improve slip, reduce friction, and add natural shine
  • Amino acid cleansers (Lauroyl Methyl Alanine based) — gentle surfactants that clean without stripping the hair's natural moisture
  • Silicone-free — no buildup on fine or medium hair; results are from actual hair repair not surface coating
  • Sulfate-free — gentle enough for daily use on colour-treated and fragile hair
  • 480ml — pairs with the Ichikami Smooth Care Conditioner for the complete smooth-care system

How it works: Silicone-free shampoos clean without depositing the coating layer that makes hair feel smooth immediately after washing but can cause buildup and heaviness over time. The Ichikami amino acid cleansers have a low friction profile that allows the Japanese Botanical extracts to reach the cuticle surface during washing and begin repairing lifted edges — reducing the tangling and snagging that occurs before the conditioner step.

Ichikami Smooth Care vs Ichikami THE PREMIUM for tangled hair: The Smooth Care Shampoo targets everyday tangles and smoothness loss in hair without severe heat damage. Ichikami THE PREMIUM Silky Smooth uses Rice Bran Fermented Beauty Serum for deeper repair specifically from heat-styling damage. If your tangles and roughness are daily after-wash issues without heat tool damage, start with Smooth Care. If you style with heat tools daily and your hair is rough specifically at the ends and around breakage zones, the THE PREMIUM line addresses deeper damage.

Known in Japan as いち髪 なめらかスムースケア シャンプー 480g.

Key Ingredients
  • Pure Japanese Botanicals Premium Extract — blend of ashitaba, red rice, camellia, soapberry, and rice bran that repairs and prevents cuticle damage
  • Rice Bran Oil & Rice Germ Oil — Japanese rice actives that improve slip, glide, and shine
  • Amino Acid Cleansers (Lauroyl Methyl Alanine Na) — plant-derived cleanser gentler than sulfates, preserving natural moisture while removing buildup
  • Camellia Seed Extract — traditional Japanese hair ingredient that adds conditioning and shine

HOW TO USE
  1. Wet hair thoroughly and apply shampoo to scalp.
  2. Massage gently into a soft lather — fine foam is normal for amino acid shampoos.
  3. Rinse thoroughly, then follow with Ichikami Smooth Care Conditioner.
  4. Pro tip: amino acid shampoos lather less than sulfate formulas — this is normal and does not affect cleansing. Use slightly more product if hair is very long or thick.

FAQ

What is the difference between Smooth Care and THE PREMIUM?

Smooth Care is the everyday repair line using Pure Japanese Botanicals Premium Extract for cuticle smoothing and damage prevention. THE PREMIUM is the advanced heat-damage line that adds the Rice Bran Fermented Beauty Serum and Heat Repair Coat technology for more intensive repair of iron-damaged hair.

Is the lather low because of the amino acid formula?

Yes — amino acid surfactants produce a denser, finer foam than sulfates. It may feel like less lather initially, but the cleansing performance is equal or better for most hair types.

Can men use this shampoo?

Yes. Ichikami is marketed broadly, and the Smooth Care formula works equally well for men with fine, coarse, or damaged hair.

Is this the Japan-domestic version?

Yes. This is the Japan-domestic formula sourced directly from Matsumotokiyoshi in Tokyo — the same version sold at Japanese drugstores, not an export or reformulated variant.
