Overview
TRISWIM Chlorine Removal Shampoo is a favourite among triathletes and serious swimmers. Using sodium thiosulfate for chlorine neutralisation and a dual EDTA system for chelating, it removes chlorine, bromine (from hot tubs), salt water, and hard water minerals in one wash.
Key Ingredients Breakdown
- Sodium Thiosulfate - Chemically neutralises both chlorine and bromine, making this effective for pool swimmers and hot tub users alike.
- Disodium EDTA + Tetrasodium EDTA - Dual chelating system that binds to copper, calcium, magnesium, and other minerals.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice - Organic aloe vera soothes the scalp and adds moisture.
- Panthenol - Pro-vitamin B5 that hydrates and adds volume potential.
- Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract - Anti-inflammatory chamomile that calms irritated, itchy scalps.
What We Love
- Handles multiple water types - Chlorine, bromine, salt, and hard water
- Dual EDTA system - Comprehensive mineral removal
- Scalp-soothing ingredients - Aloe and chamomile for irritated scalps
- Budget-friendly - Good value for the features
- Vegan and paraben-free - Ethical formulation
- Available in UK and US - Unlike some swimmer’s shampoos
What Could Be Better
- Contains sulfates - Not CGM-friendly
- Strong fragrance - Lime and mango scent may not suit everyone
- Can be drying - Requires good conditioning afterward
How to Use
After Swimming
- Rinse hair with fresh water immediately
- Apply shampoo to wet hair and massage into scalp
- Work through lengths
- Leave on for 1-2 minutes for maximum effectiveness
- Rinse thoroughly
- Condition well—essential with sulfate shampoos
For Hot Tub Users
The bromine-neutralising properties make this particularly effective after hot tub sessions, where bromine is often used instead of chlorine.
The Verdict
As a budget swimmer’s shampoo, TRISWIM Chlorine Removal Shampoo offers excellent value with its comprehensive approach to water contaminants. The dual EDTA system and bromine-neutralising capability set it apart from basic chlorine shampoos. Not CGM-friendly due to sulfates, but highly effective for regular swimmers and triathletes.
