hey guys,

i stick to organic stuff pretty much.

Sukin (totally in love with this brand at the moment!! and my skin has never looked better) its very good value - eg organic and cleanser is only $10!

Alchemy

Akin

Natural Oil Workers

Living Nature

Avalon Organics

Kosmea (great baby range)

Personally, if i read the ingredients and dont understand what it is, i really try to avoid it.

The chemicals used in certain brands (eg johnson and johnson, even the baby range) have been proven to cause blindness. Sodium laurel sulfate is the ingredient which makes most commercial shampoos/hand washes lather. Its also the ingredient that makes car wash lather..... and so many people wash their babies with it! (simply because we are not told about this!)... how do you feel about washing buuba with car wash? i bet the ingredients are pretty much on par.

also, most conditioners make your hair silky and shiny because they use silicone..... ask any car panelbeater if they use a car wash with silicone in it.... they wont even put it on their car, yet we put it in our hair!!!

i just wash my hair with my natural shampoos and conditioners, then use either sweet almond oil or olive oil in it, with a natural hair glue (brand is giovanni, from health shop). and its silky sweet

hows that for a ramble!
