I now rely on Malibu C’s Swimmer’s Wellness shampoo and conditioner to keep my hair protected from damaging chlorine. The brand is famous for their hard water shampoo, but this one is made specifically for removing chlorine and copper.

Summer means ample pool days ahead. It also means more time spent in chlorine, which can dull or discolor your hair, turning it brassy or green. This is where the Swimmers Wellness Collection from Malibu C comes into play.

Founder Tom Porter believes the best custodians of Malibu C's future are its employees. When he retired from the haircare and skincare brand last year, Porter sold the now 40-year-old company to an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) trust, a legal entity that holds shares of Malibu C stock on behalf of its workers.
