Herbal Cider Hair Rinse & Clarifier

“Sodium Benzoate???

This hair rinse is decent. I normally use hair rinse to help untangle my hair in the shower; this one didn’t help too much with that but it did leave my hair feeling somewhat softer. What disturbed me was the fact that they use sodium benzoate as a preservative. Sodium benzoate is a naturally occurring preservative in some fruits. However, when it’s chemically created and combined with Vitamin C it creates benzene which is a known carcinogen. Now I see no Vitamin C in the ingredients but don’t lemon and lime have Vitamin C?

“Vinegar plus botanicals equals a great product

Cider vinegar rinses have been prescribed as a hair tonic for centuries. I used to just use regular old vinegar off the store shelf for this and it works great. However, I love the additional benefits of the ingredients in this product – chamomile, green tea, rosemary, calendula… it just takes things to a whole other level. I’m a bit of a product girl, so a weekly clarifying rinse is a necessary step to rid my head of dull residue and to make my color-treated hair soft and shiny.
