MOP (Modern Organic Products) Pear Shampoo Pear shampoo containing certified organic pear purée and soothing Aloe. Contains no harsh lather additives or detergents to dry out tender skin and scalp. 300ml from £9.49 | Available from Bath & Unwind | www.bathandunwind.com |
I found the packaging a bit boring - it looked a bit like a medicine bottle - I probably would have walked past this in the supermarket as the writing is very small. It lathered quite well although you needed quite a big dollop to do so. It did smell lovely, very fruity and tangy though and William liked it. It did not sting his eyes at all. It left his hair very soft and shiny and it smelt of pear afterwards. I didn't think it was great value for money so wouldn't buy it again. |
I really liked the bottle - simple yet effective and stood out. The shampoo smelt lovely and lathered well. Erin liked the smell of this one best - more than the shampoo I normally use. It didn't sting the children's eyes and hair was shiny, clean looking and easy to comb after using. I tried it on both the girls and myself and we all loved it! It is quite expensive compared to other shampoos but I didn't need to use a lot so I believe will last quite a while, therefore I would buy it again. |
We really loved this shampoo - the girls liked it and I used it too! It smelt gorgeous and the scent stayed on Elsa's hair. It was easy to comb afterwards and didn't sting her eyes. The only thing I wasn't sure about was the writing was very small on the packaging - but I did like the stylish look of the bottle. It was expensive, but I would buy it again as a special treat...and the bottle was bigger than the other two tested, so if they had all been the same size then the cost might have been more even. |

This shampoo lathered very well. I cannot decide if I liked the smell or not but it is very distinctive!!!! William liked it and it did not sting his eyes. It left his hair soft, shiny and bright. It was very clean smelling with a slight aroma left. The packaging was nice, subtle colours but attractive and draws you in to look more closely at the bottle. It is value for money and I would possibly buy this brand again. |
I liked the packaging - it showed clear information and the pale pink and blue colours are good as people often link these colours to baby products. The shampoo lathered well and smelt fruity and good. It left my daughters hair shiny and clean smelling and was much easier to comb out knots after use. Lavera is good value for money and reasonably priced. |
I wasn't too keen on the packaging of this bottle as I thought it looked a bit old-fashioned. The smell was strong, and again I wasn't so keen on it. The shampoo lathered well though and left Elsa's hair nice and shiny. It was value for money, but I wouldn't rush to buy it again. |

The packaging was very nice and bright. Very colourful and the wording stands out and attracts you to it. It lathers extremely well (maybe too much so!) and you only need a small amount. It smelt nice while shampooing William's hair. William wasn't too keen on it though as it was very lathery and took a while to get it rinsed off. It did not sting his eyes though. His hair was soft and clean smelling although the lavender smell did not last. I do think this is value for money and I would possibly buy it again. |
The bottle had an appealing design on the front which Erin liked with clear information on ingredients and directions for use. The shampoo lathered well and I didn't have to use much as it was very concentrated. My 3yr old daughter said it smelt lovely probably because it is lavender and she loves the smell of lavender! Erin's hair was clean and shiny although a bit tangled after use and not as easy to comb through as the other shampoos, it did however say to follow with conditioner for fine or tangled hair afterwards so that might have helped. It was good value for money as cheaper than the others but very concentrated - I'd buy it again. |
I liked the bright, fresh packaging of this shampoo. It smelt nice and Elsa liked the bottle and picture of the soapy character on the front. I thought it was the most 'child-friendly' bottle - the other two were more grown-up. The shampoo smelt nice and didn't sting eyes. It was good value for money and I'd buy it again. |
