Another product that was given a serious revamp in 2024, the Blank Space Body Anti-KP Body Wash has been designed for people prone to itchy and bumpy skin. The upgraded formula features the brand’s Klean Complex™ — which is a blend of gentle chelators and 15 amino acids that work to neutralise hard water minerals, stop build-up, and nourish and repair the skin barrier. Plus, active ingredients like salicylic acid and niacinamide have also been included to help exfoliate rough and bumpy skin caused by keratosis pilaris, and calm any redness and irritation.
Hello Klean FAQs:
Why is hard water bad for your hair?
Hard water contains minerals, heavy metals, chlorine and other contaminants. For the skin, hard water creates soap scum that settles on the skin which saps away moisture, making the skin drier and increasing the chance of congested and bumpy skin. This means eczema, psoriasis, rashes, dry skin and body acne are more common.
As for your hair, the minerals found in hard water penetrate the hair and crystallise it as it dries, which causes a crispy feeling to the hair and makes it more prone to breakages and sometimes even hair loss.
Hair issues with hard water include dryness, discolouration and dandruff. Another issue with hard water is that the products you use don’t lather as well when combined with it. Not only does that mean the products themselves aren’t as efficient, but it also means you’ll experience a buildup of product residue and minerals which can cause itchiness – and the skin or scalp to flake.
Hello Klean is clear that there is no magic cure for conditions like hair thinning, psoriasis and eczema – but are keen to spread the word that water affects your skin and hair just as much as the shampoo and conditioner you use. The Hello Klean Shower Filter is all about prevention for those living with hard water, and helping users achieve as healthy hair and healthy skin as they possibly can.
How does the Hello Klean shower filter work?
The stainless steel mesh captures any large sediment in the water while calcium sulphite removes chlorines, KDF 55 targets minerals and residual chlorine and granular activated carbon remove bacteria, mould and odours. Lastly, ceramic beads help to balance your shower water’s pH level.
Is the Hello Klean shower filter easy to install?
You may think you need a plumber to install something in your shower, but Hello Klean have made the whole process very easy. It takes two minutes to install and – most importantly – no tools are needed. Once you’ve got the filter out the box, you remove the white and blue plugs from each end. Then you remove the cord from the tap in your shower (it should just twist or pull off) and connect the shower filter on before connecting the cord back on the end.
Simply run the water for 30 seconds and it’s good to go. For awkward spacing or taps located close to the wall (less than 2.5cm space), you’ll need the brand’s Shower Adapter to lengthen the distance. However, they report that only around roughly 3% of customers encounter this issue.
What’s the deal with refills?
When you buy your first aluminium shower filter, it comes with the first capsule inside. This lasts for 13,000 litres of water, which is around 3 months for a household of 3, 4 months for a household of 2 and 5 months for a household of 1.
When you need to swap the filter over, you remove the shower filter, unscrew the top or bottom cap, swap with a new refill capsule and reattach the shower filter onto your tap. To save money and never be without a refill, Hello Klean offers a handy subscription service where you can receive a new filter in the post every three, four of six months.
What are the brand’s sustainability credentials?
Hello Klean are sustainably-focused and the refillable, aluminium design uses 70% less plastic than most brands.
The shower filters are recyclable and refillable while the keep-forever aluminium filter comes housed in a plastic-free FSC certified box and is delivered by Carbon conscious shipping.
