Authentic Cleansing Nectar
A gentle moisturising cleanser for hair and body — an oil-texture shampoo and body wash with Safflower Seed Oil, plant-derived surfactants, and Oat Amino Acids that cleanses softly without stripping, leaving hair silky and skin velvety. Free from sulfates, silicones, parabens, SLES, and PEG. 98% naturally derived. Vegan.
The Moda Team Review: The Cleanser That Feels Like a Treatment
The Authentic Cleansing Nectar is the most distinctive product in the Authentic Formulas line — not because of what it does, but because of how it feels doing it. It has an oil texture before water contact: slightly thick, almost like a serum. The moment it hits wet skin or hair, it emulsifies into a gentle, soft lather that cleanses completely without any of the squeaky-clean stripping that most shampoos and body washes leave behind. Hair finishes soft and silky; skin finishes nourished and velvety — not just clean but genuinely better-feeling than before the wash.
The formula is entirely free from sulfates, silicones, SLES, parabens, PEG, and artificial colours. The surfactant base is built entirely from plant-derived glucosides — Decyl Glucoside, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Coco-Glucoside — which clean effectively while respecting the hair and skin's natural moisture balance. Safflower Seed Oil (Carthamus Tinctorius, the same organically cultivated oil that runs through the rest of the Authentic range) adds genuine nourishment, and Sodium Lauroyl Oat Amino Acids smooth and condition through the cleansing step.
It works as the daily shampoo for clients who want something clean, gentle, and genuinely luxurious to use, and as a body wash for clients who want the same care for their skin as their hair. Pair it with the Authentic Moisturizing Balm post-wash for a complete skin and hair care routine in two steps.

Moda Pro Tip
Apply to wet hair or skin — the oil texture emulsifies immediately on contact with water. A small amount is all that's needed; this product is concentrated. For hair, apply to the scalp and massage through to the lengths. For body, apply to wet skin and massage gently before rinsing.
How To Use
- Wet hair or skin thoroughly.
- Apply a small amount — it will emulsify from oil to gentle lather on contact with water.
- Massage gently into scalp and hair, or into skin.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Follow with Authentic Moisturizing Balm for hydration, or Authentic Nourishing Oil for deeper nourishment.
