Curlsmith Curl Quenching Conditioning Wash

CURLSMITH

Your curls (and the planet) will love you for using this 2-in-1 Curl Quenching Conditioning Wash. This one’s different from most—it gently cleans hair without stripping it of necessary oils by using a conditioner base with few cleansing ingredients, making it gentle and moisturizing while smoothing and detangling unruly hair. This shampoo and conditioner is great for colourtreated hair and is okay to use as often as you want. Made from naturally-derived ingredients: Avocado, Coconut, Sunflower oil, Shea Butter, Resurrection flower, Andiroba, Aloe, Sage, Rosemary, Pepper, and Basil, it’s vegan, contains no sulphates or silicones, and is cruelty-free. curlsmith.com.

Dom's

DOM’S

When we first heard about Dom’s deodorant, we had to spread the word. Their natural deodorants come in cream and stick forms. The cream version has several themes to choose from such as clear, fresh, and calm, and the stick comes in vanilla mint and black pepper lime. All of Dom’s odour control products are 100 percent natural and organic, vegan, cruelty-free, and earth-friendly; the ingredients are sustainably and ethically sourced as well.
