A look at the new product was shared on the Inverness Beauty TikTok page, which posts the latest drops in the Primark beauty and hair departments.
In the video, they showed the dry shampoo, which contains hyaluronic acid and "absorbs oils, sweat and volumises hair".
It also costs £4 for 54g, compared to £26 for 56g of Aveda's much-loved Shampowder dry shampoo.
"I hope it's like the Aveda one!!!" one person wrote in the comments section of the TikTok video.
"Oooo a trip to Primark for me!" another added.
"If you see this, I need to try it!" a third insisted, tagging a friend.
Aveda's Shampowder shampoo has long been a favourite among beauty fans - particularly for the fact that it doesn't leave a white residue like its aerosol equivalents.
"Perfect for absorbing excess oil, impurities and sweat with powerful plant powders, this dry shampoo powder instantly adds volume and texture to refresh style," Aveda say of the product on their website.
And the reviews for the pricey product are overwhelmingly positive, with one person writing: "I have been using this product for a few weeks now, I wanted to test it on days where I really needed to rescue my hair!
"I have dark brown hair and was worried at first that it comes out a white powder, but very pleased when I found it disappeared when it absorbed the oils.
Primark adds brand new Sol De Janeiro dupes to its beauty aisles and they're perfect for keeping you smelling sweet on holiday too
"I like that it isn't a spray but found the bottle a bit fiddly, took a little time to get used to."
"Love this new dry shampoo format," another added.
"It gives you good control over how much product to use vs an aggressive aerosol.
"Please bring out a dark haired version!"
"This is my new go-to dry shampoo!" a third commented.
"I love the signature Aveda smell of the formula; it's gentle and pleasant.

"The bottle and application method is so easy to use, it evenly distributes the product and works so well to absorb the excess oil and gives me volume to extend my wash day out by a day."
Aveda isn't the only company to release an aerosol-free dry shampoo, however.
Stacey Solomon's Rehab brand also has a powder-based formula, but it's still pricey at £24.
Despite that, reviewers rave about the Essential Dry Shampoo, with some going as far to call it "one of the best dry shampoos" they've ever used.

UK supermarket offers new £1 incentive to shoppers
Supermarket chain Iceland is introducing a scheme to reward customers £1 for actively spotting and reporting shoplifters in their stores. Customers who alert staff to shoplifting incidents will receive the payment directly to their membership card. The initiative comes as Iceland faces an estimated £20 million annual loss due to shoplifting, which limits the company's ability to lower prices and pay staff. Richard Walker, Iceland's executive chairman, stated that shoplifting is not a victimless crime and impacts business costs. The move follows official figures showing that shoplifting offences recorded by police in England and Wales reached a record high of 530,643 in the year to March 2025.

Ex-Chelsea official lands job with club's ownership group after leaving Stamford Bridge for Formula One team following 14-year stint
Steve Atkins - respected former PR chief at Chelsea - is to become operating partner at the club's majority stakeholder. Atkins, who departed Stamford Bridge after 14 years in 2022 to head up communications at F1 giants McLaren, will take up the role at Clearlake Capital, Daily Mail Sport understands. While he will no doubt be utilised at Chelsea, Atkins will be tasked with supporting existing operations across the LA-based investment firm's portfolio in Europe and America. Before joining Chelsea, he spent a decade in Washington DC working for the UK Foreign Office and will provide additional experience to the group, whose interest in the Premier League club is overseen by co-founder Behdad Eghbali. Along with Chelsea co-owners Todd Boehly, Mark Walter and Hansjorg Wyss, Clearlake also own French outfit RC Strasbourg. While insiders have stressed that Atkins will not be purely Chelsea-centric in his new post, the move may well be seen as a positive for his former employers ahead of the new Premier League season. He is well known to both staff and the club's fan base. Indeed, when Atkins departed west London, Chelsea released a glowing statement, in which they said that he had 'helped develop the club's communications into a deft, authoritative, and world-leading operation'. Atkins arrived at Stamford Bridge five years after Roman Abramovich's takeover, and was in place for the most successful period in the club's history. During his time at McLaren, the team won the constructors championship for the first time since 1998. Atkins departed the F1 world in February, with the ambition of finding a new role which would allow him to be closer to his family.

UK government will not provide financial aid to UK bioethanol industry
LONDON, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Britain's largest bioethanol plant is set to close by next month after the UK government said on Friday it would not provide financial support to an industry hit by Britain's tariff deal with U.S. President Donald Trump. Associated British Foods (ABF.L), opens new tab said in June it would shutter its Vivergo plant in northern England unless the government provided funding. "We ... have taken the difficult decision not to offer direct funding as it would not provide value for the taxpayer or solve the long-term problems the industry faces," a government spokesman said.
