Natural Organic Makeup

Organic Conditioner? – Well, perhaps it’s not exactly makeup. But it belongs on the Natural Organic Makeup blog anyway.

For many people, their scalp is even more sensitive than the skin on their face. The only difference is the skin on your face is more exposed.

When it comes to finding the right organic conditioner, the key is to avoid common synthetics like parabens, mineral oils (petroleum-derived oils) and phthalates – but to find something that will be strong enough to moisturize your hair, and restore the balance of oils that shampooing is designed to remove.

So what choices are available?

The logical choice is a leave-in conditioning oil. The beauty of this is, because there are so many natural, organic, essential oils available to us – there are a wide range of options.

Carol’s Daughter Khoret Amen Hair Oil is a perfect example of this.

Rather than a cheap harmful chemical paraben base (like many moisturizing hair treatments), Carol’s Daugher Khoret Amen Hair Oil is Olive Oil based, and infused with a rich and attractive bouquet of lavender, ylang ylang, clary sage and bay leaf.

In aromatherapy, lavender, ylang ylang and clary sage are believed to aid in relaxation, clear stress and headaches, and lower blood pressure.

The addition of patchouli and cedarwood to the mix also assist in ensuring healthy hair.

Patchoili is an anti-fungal and anti-inflamatory – helping to clear away harmful fungus that may be growing on your scalp, and assisting in cell growth.

Cedarwood helps to relieve itching – and, as anyone who has seen a Head and Shoulders ad would know – itching is a major cause of hair breakage.

For the best results, warming the hair oil to create a hot oil treatment is recommended.

If fruit scents are more your style in hair conditioners, then you might want to try Carols Dauther Tui Hair Oil.

Although corn oil based, the blend contains chamomile and miracle-herb calendula.

However, the most wonderful thing about this blend is the scent.

It’s infused with a fragrant blend of guava, mango and passionfruit (yum!) as well as soothing marigold.

Both of these organic hair conditioners are suitable for all hair types.
