I don't typically review products together, but I am making an exception for Organix Cucumber Yogurt Shampoo and Conditioner. I used them together, and I don't think that I would've been nearly as happy with the results if I hadn't. They were also sent to me together, given to me so that I might try and then review them. So, here ya go: Ingredients (provided at enviroproductsworld.com)- Shampoo: "Aqua, Disodium Laureth...
One of my dearest friends recently asked if I had any suggestions for getting rid of oily hair. She also mentioned wanting to steer clear of products that have a hazard score of five or higher, which I think is a very wise decision. I've been racking my brain since to recall any shampoos or conditioners that I may have used in the past that kept the oiliness at bay (which I can definitely relate to, since my hair is much closer to oily than dry), and here's what I've come up with:
Ingredients- (provided at drbronner.com)- "Organic Lemon Juice, Organic Shikakai Powder, Organic Coconut Oil, Potassium Hydroxide, Organic Olive Oil, Organic Hemp Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Lemon Oil, Organic Orange Oil" This product gets a satisfyingly low hazard score of 1 from the Environmental Working Group's Cosmetic Safety Database. Product Description (also provided at drbronner.com)- "Our organic conditioning rinse is nourishing and effective without synthetic ingredients, and is certified by the same National Organic Program that certifies organic food. The USDA logo is your guarantee of...
My beach vacation has been pretty fly thus far. I haven't spent much time at the beach (because of the nasty water...oil spills are for the birds), but our Condo is sufficiently sweet. There's a lazy river; how cool is that?! I've been avoiding shampoo altogether this week and using baking soda in its place. I've been conditioning with Aveda Rosemary Mint Conditioner (and my hair has never looked better): My mom bought me some Time & Again Organics hand cream today at a cute little shop. It was seven dollars, and it smells like a dream:
I rarely make a long-term commitment to any health and beauty product, but those listed below have a special place in my heart and in my beauty regimen. 1. Desert Essence tea tree oil mouthwash- Let's get real, natural toothpastes don't actually do much for bad breath. Flossing and brushing are great for making my teeth look clean, but mouthwash is where it's at if I want to talk close to someone's face (and I do). I love the way this stuff tastes, and it makes my breath downright pleasant. 2. Spring Valley tea tree oil (that walmart jurnt)- Can you tell...
I remember very clearly the day that I became curious about the ingredients in the health and beauty products I use. It happened after reading an internet news article about a girl dying as a result of using too much perfume. As to whether or not this article was bullshit, I really have no clue. I read some really disturbing things about parabens, preservatives used in many cosmetics and toiletries, and sodium lauryl or laureth sulfates, which are cleaning agents. I felt overwhelmed, so I decided that I would try to avoid those two ingredients at least. I began buying...
Allow me to preface this entry by saying I firmly believe that all the things we put on our bodies have just as much of an impact on our health and well-being as the things we put in our bodies. For the past two years or so, I had been passionately searching for a shampoo and condioner that satisfied, met, and maybe even exceeded all my expectations. I was actually not asking for much. I just needed something free of parabens(a type of preservative) and sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates(a cleaning agent) that would also make my hair look fabulous. I learned very...
