The short answer
These products are compared for hair and scalp cleansing, with the actual declared identities kept visible.
Herbal declares nettle powders; the other meaningful public differences include the aromatic-oil combinations, while the listed cleansing/care base substantially overlaps.
Why this matters
Choose by the difference you can establish: the published aromatic ingredients, relevant listed components, intended job and handling. Do not infer finished pH, a stronger treatment effect or a universal gentleness ranking from the ingredient names. The declared quantities are 100 g; quantity alone does not prove the same number of uses.
If a formula exclusion matters to you, check the current label rather than relying on illustrations or a partial public description. Personal preference remains a legitimate reason to choose, provided it is kept separate from unmeasured performance.
Plaukutis Herbal – Nettle
The declaration lists Urtica Dioica Herbal Powder and Urtica Dioica Root Powder in addition to the shared cleansing/care ingredients.
Choose this when
- You want to explore the nettle-containing declaration while keeping citrus/ylang-ylang aroma in view.
- Its declared hair and scalp cleansing role is the job you actually need.
- You can follow its application and storage method in your ordinary routine.
Keep in mind
- Nettle presence does not establish comparative growth, dandruff treatment or a milder finished shampoo.
- A shampoo scent choice is not automatically a different hair-treatment category.
Plaukutis Jasmine – Jasmine, orange and mandarin
The declaration includes the aromatic combination named here alongside the overlapping Plaukutis cleansing/care base.
Choose this when
- You are interested in a flower-and-citrus aromatic direction and the current declaration fits your requirements.
- Its declared hair and scalp cleansing role is the job you actually need.
- You can follow its application and storage method in your ordinary routine.
Keep in mind
- The word Jasmine does not prove that this version is better for a particular hair type.
- A shampoo scent choice is not automatically a different hair-treatment category.
Plaukutis – Lavender, bergamot, patchouli and black pepper
The declaration lists these aromatic oils alongside the substantially overlapping Plaukutis cleansing/care ingredients.
Choose this when
- You prefer exploring herbal, citrus, patchouli and pepper aromatic associations to the Jasmine version.
- Its declared hair and scalp cleansing role is the job you actually need.
- You can follow its application and storage method in your ordinary routine.
Keep in mind
- A lavender or pepper ingredient is not a measured scalp-calming or cleansing-strength advantage.
- A shampoo scent choice is not automatically a different hair-treatment category.
Plaukutis – Bergamot, grapefruit and ylang-ylang
The published INCI lists the aromatic oils but does not list the nettle powders found in Herbal.
Choose this when
- You want the citrus/ylang-ylang direction and are comparing the declaration without assuming it contains nettle.
- Its declared hair and scalp cleansing role is the job you actually need.
- You can follow its application and storage method in your ordinary routine.
Keep in mind
- Current English explanatory prose mentions nettle, while the published INCI does not; obtain label clarification if nettle presence matters.
- A shampoo scent choice is not automatically a different hair-treatment category.

The complete guide
A reader opens the shampoo collection and wants all four actual choices explained without being assigned a fictional oily-hair, dry-hair or growth-treatment winner.
The aim is to make the visible differences useful: actual members, actual declarations and a routine you can picture. The illustrations teach where choices diverge, without turning unknown concentrations or performance into decorative numbers.
Start with the actual members and the actual job
The choices on this page are Plaukutis Herbal – Nettle; Plaukutis Jasmine – Jasmine, orange and mandarin; Plaukutis – Lavender, bergamot, patchouli and black pepper; Plaukutis – Bergamot, grapefruit and ylang-ylang. Each is being considered for hair and scalp cleansing, so the first check is whether that is the product role you need. A solid shape is not a reason to compare it as conditioner, perfume or a different kind of care.
The declared size information is 100 g. This helps you understand what the packs contain, but does not establish equal uses or equal finished performance. Herbal declares nettle powders; the other meaningful public differences include the aromatic-oil combinations, while the listed cleansing/care base substantially overlaps. Keep the stated difference visible rather than converting a packaging number into a treatment claim.
Use the four-way view to reduce a broad catalogue to the question you actually have. Do you want to compare the aromatic versions, inspect Herbal’s declared nettle powders, or understand a familiar shampoo before ordering again? You can follow the relevant pair comparison after that. A complete range map should help you select a route, not imply that collecting all four improves a wash routine.
Start with the actual members and the actual job
- Plaukutis Herbal – Nettle
- The declaration lists Urtica Dioica Herbal Powder and Urtica Dioica Root Powder in addition to the shared cleansing/care ingredients.

Every displayed choice is an actual publicly listed member of this comparison; descriptions are not relative performance scores.
Read the shared base before the aromatic difference
Across the discussed Plaukutis declarations, the common context includes SCI, SLSA, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, cetyl alcohol, shea/mango/cocoa butters, sodium lactate, hydrolysed silk protein, panthenol, extracts and hydrolysed keratin. On a range page, these shared names belong in one readable comparison rather than four imagined treatment categories. Exact amounts and identical finished performance are not established by the overlap.
Read across the four columns to see what repeats, then down one selected column to understand that finished product. This two-pass method prevents a shared protein or butter becoming a unique selling point for one fragrance version. It also leaves space for real differences, such as Herbal’s nettle powders, without asserting that every formula with similar names must perform the same way.
A four-product table can look precise while leaving quantities and comparative testing unknown. Do not assign a growth, repair or dandruff-treatment score to its nettle, panthenol, silk or keratin entries. Use the table to identify a material worth learning about in the Ingredient Atlas, and use product-specific evidence—not the number of familiar ingredients—to assess a claim that matters.

Give each aromatic choice its own description
The published aromatic information for this selection is: Plaukutis Herbal – Nettle — bergamot, grapefruit and ylang-ylang aromatic oils; Plaukutis Jasmine – Jasmine, orange and mandarin — Nyctanthes arbor-tristis Flower Oil, orange peel oil and mandarin peel oil; Plaukutis – Lavender, bergamot, patchouli and black pepper — lavender, bergamot, patchouli and black-pepper oils; Plaukutis – Bergamot, grapefruit and ylang-ylang — bergamot, grapefruit and ylang-ylang oils. These details help you compare the actual choices rather than select from colour or a product nickname.
Compare the declared aromatic groups across the range: Herbal and the citrus/ylang-ylang version share that named oil combination, Jasmine lists its flower/orange/mandarin combination, and the lavender version lists its four-oil blend. These are ingredient observations. Describing your sensory preference as floral, citrus-led or herbal adds a personal interpretation, not another verified ingredient or a guaranteed fragrance result.
If the aromatic choice is your main question, narrow to the Jasmine/lavender pair for two clearly different stated combinations. If nettle presence matters, follow the Herbal/citrus pair and its published-copy limitation. The range page does not need to invent four hair types to be useful: it can organise the actual differences and send you to the deeper decision relevant to you.

Aromatic declarations are shown as descriptive directions, without measured intensity or medical effects.
Ask the question the declaration cannot answer
The table cannot settle every column to the same level. In particular, the citrus version’s current English prose mentions nettle while its published INCI does not list Herbal’s nettle powders. Keep that unresolved point visible in the range view. Equal-width columns are a layout choice, not evidence that each formula’s public information is equally complete or equally unambiguous.
Use a short list of facts, preferences and open questions. Facts include declared names and amounts; preferences include the aromatic combination you want to explore; open questions include the citrus nettle discrepancy and any unsupported mildness claim. Separating those three prevents a tidy selector from appearing to know more than its source information allows, while still making the range easier to navigate.
For an ingredient exclusion, inspect the current label of the particular selected member and clarify ambiguous information before relying on it. For ordinary scent exploration, one suitable product can be enough to begin. A comfortable experience with one Plaukutis does not certify the other three formulas for every person or remove the need to read their separate declarations.
Ask the question the declaration cannot answer
- Declared
- Identity, named ingredients and intended role.
- Clarify
- Missing or conflicting product information.
- Observe
- Your own handling and preference.
A qualitative decision aid: the labels explain different jobs and choices, without measured performance rankings.
Compare the complete application sequence
Once you select a member, leave the range table and read that shampoo’s full directions. Wetting, lather distribution and thorough rinsing form the shared wash context, while any suitable conditioning step remains separate. The four-column view is a way to choose which instructions to follow; it is not a new mixing, alternating or treatment schedule for all four bars.
If you compare more than one version over time, identify which bar you used and what remained familiar in the routine. Keep notes about aroma, directed application and rinsing rather than rotating every member at once and crediting the whole range for a change. A small, understandable comparison is more informative than owning all four without knowing what each added to the experience.
A household using several Plaukutis versions needs a way to recognise which bar is which after the cartons are put away. Keep the product identity accessible and give wet bars suitable draining places. This is an organisation question rather than a performance difference; a readable label and workable shelf can matter more to everyday convenience than the range photograph suggests.
Compare the complete application sequence
Make a choice you can explain without a ranking
Finish by naming the comparison that mattered: the Jasmine/lavender aromatic contrast, the declared Herbal powders, or a current-label question about the citrus version. Then choose the member or next reading step that answers it. A clear selection can involve one bar or postponing the purchase; there is no requirement to rank every shampoo from first to fourth.
For gifting, separate a single selected shampoo from a four-shampoo collection. The collection offers variety within hair cleansing, not shampoo, conditioner, body care and perfume as four different steps. Ask whether the recipient wants shampoo exploration before using range breadth as a measure of generosity, and check each member’s relevant declaration when an exclusion matters.
On a later visit, recheck that the four named members and their current declarations still match this map. The range was read on 14 October 2026, and the citrus copy discrepancy is part of that dated evidence. A new member, revised label or resolved conflict would change the selector; your saved personal preference can remain useful but cannot stand in for a fresh catalogue check.
An everyday example
A four-way shortlist with one real requirement
A reader opens the shampoo collection and wants all four actual choices explained without being assigned a fictional oily-hair, dry-hair or growth-treatment winner.
They first match the product job, then read the particular aromatic and composition declarations. Instead of buying every member, they identify the difference they actually want to explore and any unresolved label question that affects their requirement.
Keep a useful existing conditioning step familiar while you assess the shampoo, rather than changing the whole wash routine at once. The result is a personal next step, not evidence that one member has superior treatment performance or that every person should use the same version.
- Match the intended job.
- Read the relevant declaration and clarify conflicts.
- Keep application and surrounding routine in view.
A smaller choice, explained
A usable last piece versus starting another shampoo
An identifiable remaining piece can still belong to the same washing job when its condition and the product directions allow. Compare whether you can handle it conveniently before buying another bar simply for a fresh shape.
Do not merge different leftovers into an unidentified homemade formula. Keep product identity and use directions clear; a last-piece handling solution should not turn into an unsupported production method.
A usable last piece versus starting another shampoo
- First approach
- Keep the product’s identity, amount and intended use clear.
- Alternative
- Change the specific handling choice without inventing a new formula.
Follow the individual directions. These qualitative choices illustrate the practical question rather than measured performance.
Questions worth asking
Does the ingredient list tell me which is gentlest?
Not by itself. Finished formula, amounts, use conditions and personal requirements matter; no comparative mildness test is supplied here.
Should I buy every version to compare them?
No. Use the declared differences to shortlist what interests you or fits a stated requirement. Exploration does not require owning the whole range.
Is the scent name enough for an ingredient exclusion?
No. Check the actual current declaration and obtain clarification when information is partial or contradictory.
