I'm super excited. There are quite a few vegan shampoos and conditioners out there, but trying to find ones that don't make my hair feel like crap was a challenge. On a whim, I tried Earth Spirit Organics. At first I tried their Earth Spirit Organic Botanical Conditioner and was so impressed I tried their Earth Spirit Organics™ Botanical Shampoo. They are so wonderful. My hair feels soft and smells great. I can't say enough about these products. Not only are they vegan, but they are generously supported by verifiable, certified organic ingredients, herbal extracts and aromatherapy essential oils... such as, Lavender, Marigold, Canadian wildcrafted Red Clover, Clary Sage, and Sweet Grass. Earth Spirit Organics is a family run Canadian company. Every Earth Spirit Organics product is offered in (non-PVC) eco-packaging with sustainable, 100% certified forest-free (recyclable paper) labels.
Give it a try, I don't think you will be disappointed.
