Our Quality Ingredients:
Ingredient Glossary A-Z
Acacia concinna (Shikakai) Nut Powder: Shikakai powder comes from de-shelled shikakai nuts. Shikakai is referred to as "fruit for the hair." It has a naturally mild pH, and it gently cleans the hair without stripping it of natural oils. Shikakai is perfect as a natural hair wash for sensitive scalps or to control dandruff. Shikakai is said to promote hair growth and strengthen hair roots.
Behentrimonium Methosulfate: the mildest hair-detangling ingredient available made from rapeseed oil. This sophisticated ingredient is renowned for its superior detangling ability without buildup. Unlike other hair detanglers, behentrimonium methosulfate is extremely mild, being recommended for use in baby products. It is superior in effectiveness and mildness to its commonly used cheaper cousin, behentrimonium chloride. It is not a sulfate.
