WHAT IS IT: Aminomethyl Propanol and Aminomethyl Propanediol are alkanolamines, which means that these compounds have both a hydroxyl group (-OH) and an amino group (NH2). It has a score of 2 (Low Hazard) at EWG.org.
I was browsing http://yournaturalhair.com and I came upon a post from Deborrah about using Aveeno body lotion as a leave-in conditioner for natural hair. She was camping and in a pinch because her moisturizing spritz spilled out of her bag.
So, she whipped out some "Aveeno Stress Relief Moisturizing Lotion". Oh yes she did. And she says it worked like a charm and her hair was soft all day. She added Aveeno lotion to water in order to thin it out, consequently making it more spreadable in the hair.
Being a DIYer, my standards are super high when it comes to trying out new products on my hair. So, I cannot stay silent when I take a chance on a store-bought product which really impresses me and works well with my naturally coily hair.
I've been using Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula Conditioning Shampoo over the course of a few months and it is one of the better off-the-shelf (non-homemade) shampoos I have used.
WHAT IS IT? Brassica campestris is a form of mustard green or turnip.
Butylene Glycol: Butylene glycol (1.3-Butanediol) is a small "organic" (petroleum based) alcohol used as solvent and conditioning agent.
INCI: Myristyl Myristate
A 100% natural, vegetable derived ester, combination of myristyl alcohol and myristic acid, for use as a co-emulsifier and opacifier. Myristyl Myristate offers an easy way to create lotions and creams with a silky, rich feel and a dry powdery feel
Water is the main ingredient in conditioner which facilitates the hydration/moisturization of your hair. There. I said it. As a DIYer, I've experimented with all types of oils, all types of herbs and all types of conditioning additives which I'd never used before I went natural almost 12 years ago.
At some point, you will come to one main realization about conditioners: most leave-in and rinse-off conditioners are at their best when they are mostly water.
