"I am astonished at just how soft my hair is after using the sample for the last two weeks! My hair is very thick and can be tough to manage, but a little bit of cream makes the pick slide through my hair like warm butter. Incredible. Will buy again and again."

"My new obsession. For years now I have been trying to find a healthy product for my hair that works. I was frustrated with ugly dry and dull curls trying to find something with good ingredients but no luck, until I found this brand and I am so grateful, that I can feel fluffy again without the bad ingredients! Thank you for this amazing cream that makes me feel beautiful again.”

"The first cream that doesn't dry out my hair. My skin/hair type is on the dry side. ....Been looking for years for a leave-in product that doesn't dry out my hair and for one that leaves my curls manageable and moist looking.So glad to have found this. Will share it with my 5 Jamaican daughters who all have curly hair...... Btw I am white - I mention this only because I wanted to note that this product can be used by different hair types."

"HALLELUJAH!! I have finally found products that live up to the hype! I have spent the last 30 years of my life looking for products that give me these results. My curls are soft, defined, and have hardly any fizz. I am so thrilled and I can’t stop telling anyone who will listen. My family is so tired of hearing, "Can we talk about my curls and how great they look?""

"Curl specialist in love with this brand!!! I am the owner of a curl-focused salon in Bryn Mawr Pa. I’ve specialized in the curly-girl method and have been working exclusively with curls since 2004! Needless to say I have tried almost every curly product out there and this gel and cream is by far our favorite! It can be used on any curl pattern and adds incredible shine and definition without feeling crunchy or leaving a residue. If you have curly hair, you need this in your line-up!"

We went beyond the common elimination of sulfates, silicones and parabens. We said NO to the following too:
Animal Derived Ingredients
We want to avoid animal cruelty. If you are a vegan or not, being aware that killing animals just for the consumption of cosmetics is not the right thing to do. We support the respect for all lives and living beings on this planet. Vegan ingredients contain a higher percentage of vitamins and antioxidants that will nourish your curls and will provide healthier hair.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is a heavier oil and acts more like a wax on the hair. Causes buildup and makes the hair greasy (especially fine hair). Many people are allergic to coconut oil particularly due to being used in most personal care products.
Cocamide Diethanolamine (DEA)
Acts as a thickening agent in shampoos and conditioners, and allows them to form a foamy lather. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) listed it as a toxic ingredient linked to cancer.
Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde-releasing chemicals, such as: 5-bromo-5-nitro-1,3-dioxane, DMDM hydantoin, imidazolidinyl urea, methylene glycol, oxomethane, and quaternium-15 are known for skin reaction, allergic relations and linked to cancer.
Synthetic Fragrance
May include hidden toxic ingredients and ingredients that cause allergic reactions. We opted to include an all natural fragrance oil to avoid any synthetic ingredients in our formulations. Our scent is a blend of tart grapefruit, sweet orange and sour lemon. Leaving a clean and fresh scent that is gentle to the hair.
Mineral oil
Also known as paraffin oil or white mineral oil. Based on some studies, it showed it could be linked to cause cancer since it’s distilled from petroleum, produced during the refining of crude oil and mildly or untreated mineral oil is known to be a carcinogen.
Phenoxyethanol
A preservative commonly used in cosmetic products. Exposure to phenoxyethanol has been linked to reactions ranging from eczema to severe, life-threatening allergic reactions.
Phthalates
Have been linked to “endocrine disruption," and research suggests phthalates can contribute to issues such as endocrine and reproductive dysregulation, early puberty, endometriosis, infertility, altered fetal development, breast and skin cancer, obesity, type II diabetes, cardiotoxicity, asthma, and allergy.
Synthetic dyes
An ingredient in synthetic hair dyes called ammonia and resorcinol are extremely toxic in nature and these chemicals have been linked to causing skin and eye irritations as well as extreme cases of respiratory issues.
This conditioner is one of the few that actually helps with my very dry color treated and gray hair. In the summer I use a little more. In the fall I use a little less. When the heat goes on, I need more. I just adjust according to the weather and the humidity.
