Description

Ichikami Smooth Care Shampoo is a silicone-free, sulfate-free Japanese shampoo formulated for hair that snags, tangles, or loses smoothness between washes. Developed from Kracie's research into Japanese women's hair, it uses plant-derived amino acid cleansers and the brand's signature Jun Waso Premium Extract — a blend of Japanese botanical ingredients — to repair and prevent cuticle damage with every wash. Available in Japan-domestic format at Matsumotokiyoshi.

The Pure Japanese Botanicals Premium Extract combines ashitaba leaf, red rice extract, camellia seed extract, soapberry, rice bran oil, and rice germ oil — a complex developed to reinforce cuticle structure and reduce the friction that causes daily damage. A Cuticle Smoothing Formula closes peeling cuticle edges after washing, leaving hair with a silky, finger-through finish even on humid days.

At 480ml with a pump bottle, this is the everyday-use size that offers excellent value for a non-silicone amino acid shampoo. Scented with a fresh wild cherry blossom fragrance — lighter and more delicate than the richer yaezakura of the THE PREMIUM line.

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.
