I discovered this product whilst searching for chemical free products. It was the only one I had found during that day. I found it very surprising that everything had sulphates, hydroxide and mineral oil.
I have used these for one month now (I wash my hair on a weekly basis) and so far my hair feels bouncy and fresh. My curl pattern looks even more defined when wet and it’s actually cleans better than the Crème of Nature product I was using before. It makes my hair feel very clean but not slippery. One thing though is that I have to add a leave-in afterwards because if I don't my hair dries frizzy. The smell is very refreshing and there has been no white residue left on my hair as I know with certain shampoos that can be a problem AND it cured my dandruff problem. BRILLIANT!

‘If it is soo bad why does everything have the same ingredients?’ I wonder…I even notice two products, one of which was Shea butter and the other was of Aloe Vera. Surprisingly they both had exactly the same ingredients. Where was the Shea butter or Aloe Vera you say…? Well I can only think that the ingredient listed as parfum was the Shea butter and Aloe Vera scent. This would mean that there really isn’t any real natural ingredient, just the smell of it. What annoyed me the most was that these products were advertised as ‘Organic’ ! (That will be another topic soon). But anyway let me continue with the review lol.

I just googled and looked at the ingredient list and the two ingredients: Disodium EDTA and Phenoxyethanol in particular, are just as bad as parabens, causing allergic reactions.
Guess I'll just keep looking for something that REALLY IS safe and "organic". 99% isn't good enough.

Yeah its not a great ingredient to use but you'll never find a product that is 100% SAFE & ORGANIC because certain organic ingredients can also be bad for you as well as good ie. Lavender oil is quite bad for some people.
Also this product uses natural ingredients as well as organic which means that not all of the ingredients could have been sourced organically.... That is why I say that no product can be 100% SAFE or ORGANIC!!! But it is possible to be 100% NATURAL as everything is from nature...
