Description: From the manufacturer's website:

Amino Acid and Coconut Oil derived cleansers are combined to create a delightful, creamy lather that gently yet thoroughly cleanses the hair. Wheat Proteins and Wheat Starch help add body and fullness while a special blend of moisturizing ingredients imparts softness and shine. Suitable for all hair and scalp types when mildness is desired.

Key Ingredients:

Amino Acids
uh-MEE-noh AS-ids
Amino Acids are fundamental to the human body and construct proteins. When chemically united with fatty alcohol or fatty acid, they have cleansing properties and maintain their mild amphoteric character. Amino Acids are known to moisturize by enhancing the skin's water retention.

Coconut Oil
KOH-keh-nut OY-il
Coconut oil is an off-white, semi-solid, highly saturated fat expressed from the kernels of the coconut. It is stable when exposed to air. It lathers quickly and is a good skin cleanser commonly used in many skin care formulations. Lathers readily and softens skin.

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein (Phyto Peptides)
HI-druh-lie'zd HWEET PRO-teen
Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, also known as by the collective name Phyto Peptides, is an effective substitute for hydrolyzed animal protein derived by acid, enzyme, or other method of hydrolysis. It offers conditioning, moisturizing and film forming properties and is widely in skin care products to help skin retain its moisture and improve its overall appearance.
Keywords: moisturizing, protein, silicone-free

Pros: very moisturizing
Cons: expensive

This shampoo is absolutely amazing, although very expensive. I received it as part of a Kiehl's gift set for my birthday, and it was the 2.5 oz bottle which sells for $7.00 on Kiehl's website. The giant price tag aside, it leaves my hair feeling very soft and smooth. I have on several occasions used only the shampoo and not bothered with a conditioner, because it just felt that great. It does contain protein, though, so steer clear if your hair hates it. The scent is nice, too. Coconut, but not an overpowering coconut smell.
