About the ingredients
We know some of these ingredients are unfamiliar so here's a quick summary of what they are and what they do.
Conditioner pellets - Often seen in recipes as BTMS-25, these pellets make a luxurious hair conditioner (the best we've ever come across) and hair detangler for leave-on and rinse-off products.
Hydrolysed quinoa - considered a complete protein, it is packed with vitamins and minerals as well as 17 amino acids which help repair damage to the hair shaft while its proteins coat and strengthen the hair. It can help to gently cleanse and nourish your hair while aiding in hair colour retention, conditioning and protection. It is also said to aid in hair growth while preventing breakage, increasing shine and the overall healthy appearance of the hair.
Organic glycerin - palm oil free, vegetable oil based, mainly soybean and coconut oil. Glycerin is a sugar alcohol which acts as a moisturiser (emollient) and humectant, meaning it absorbs water from the air.
Microcare DB - Ecocert approved preservative.
