Vitamin C Handheld Shower Filter

If your shower water leaves your skin feeling tight or your hair feeling dry, chlorine exposure is often part of the story. The Vitamin C Handheld Shower Filter is built to reduce chlorine and chloramine as water passes through, for a softer-feeling rinse day to day.

How it works

Inside the filter, a vitamin C (ascorbic acid) media reacts with chlorine and chloramine in your water, neutralizing them before the water reaches your skin and hair. Because chlorine is a common contributor to dry, tight-feeling skin and rough, static-prone hair, reducing it can make everyday showers feel gentler, especially if you already deal with dry skin or color-treated hair. The handheld hose lets you direct that filtered water exactly where you need it, from your face to your scalp, rather than relying on filtered water hitting you only from overhead.

Good to know

• Reduces chlorine and chloramine through a vitamin C (ascorbic acid) filter cartridge, which is the mechanism most linked to that bleached, tight-skin feeling after a shower
• Handheld design lets you rinse your face and scalp directly with filtered water, not just your body
• Does not soften hard water or remove calcium and magnesium, so it will not stop mineral buildup or scale on fixtures
• Best suited for homes on chlorinated municipal water where skin feels dry or hair feels dull or frizzy after showering
• Cartridge is rated for about 3 to 4 months of typical use (or roughly 10,000 gallons); replace sooner if water flow slows or smell returns
