Garnier Ultra Gentle Rice Water and Starch Smoothing Shampoo is a plumping shampoo for long hair that leaves it smooth and shiny. It draws on the rice water tradition of Asian hair care: enriched with rice water and a starch derivative, it helps hair retain moisture, so each strand is plumped from within and its smoothed surface reflects the light.

Key Benefits

  • Smooth lengths: hair is plumped from within and its surface is smoothed.
  • Shine: smoothed fibers reflect the light for glossy long hair.
  • Lasting result: smooth, very shiny hair for up to 72 hours (instrumental test after shampoo and mask).
  • Light formula: a silicone-free shampoo designed for long hair.
  • Recycled bottle: the bottle is recyclable and made from recycled plastic.

Key Ingredients

Rice water, long valued in Asian hair care traditions, is present here as a rice ferment filtrate that helps the hair hold on to moisture. A starch derivative completes the infusion, and a guar-based conditioning agent completes a formula without silicones.

Explore the full Garnier range of hair and skin care, including the rest of the Ultra Gentle rice water routine, here in its French edition.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use Garnier Ultra Gentle Rice Water and Starch Smoothing Shampoo?

Apply it to wet hair, massage carefully over the whole scalp, then rinse. For the full smoothing result, Garnier pairs it with the rice water mask or conditioner of the same Ultra Gentle range. Rinse the eyes immediately in case of contact.

Which hair type is Garnier Ultra Gentle Rice Water and Starch Smoothing Shampoo for?

It is made for long hair, as printed on the bottle. Garnier designed this smoothing ritual so that long lengths look plumped, smooth and shiny, with a light, silicone-free formula that does not weigh the hair down.

How does rice water work in Garnier Ultra Gentle Rice Water and Starch Smoothing Shampoo?

Rice water, valued for generations in Asian hair care, helps the hair retain moisture. With the starch derivative, it plumps each strand from within, so the surface of the fiber is smoothed and reflects the light, for visibly shinier hair.

How long does the shine of Garnier Ultra Gentle Rice Water and Starch Smoothing Shampoo last?

Garnier reports smooth, very shiny hair for up to 72 hours, measured in an instrumental test after using the shampoo followed by the mask of the range, for long hair that looks smooth and glossy.

Does Garnier Ultra Gentle Rice Water and Starch Smoothing Shampoo contain silicones?

No. The bottle is labeled silicone-free. The shampoo relies on rice water, a starch derivative and a gentle conditioning agent to smooth the hair, and comes in a recyclable bottle made from recycled plastic.
