Reviews of Lavender Shampoo

Squeaky clean & sweet smelling

As a swimmer, I go through a lot of conditioner and shampoo. Avalon Organics makes a lavender shampoo that always makes my hair feel soft and seems to neutralize nearly all of the chlorine scent. It really strips out any build up and clears out the chlorine -- I have very fine, long hair and it doesn't leave my hair feeling dry, coarse, brittle or worked over. It's always silky and feels great. It also smells really good without an overpowering scent that lingers and stalks me like some shampoos.

This product is also available in a much larger pump bottle -- a bigger bottle is better than a smaller bottle (you're going to use less plastic) and a pump is a much more conservative way to dispense conditioner and shampoo -- you will find you use less than a squeeze bottle.

Choose shampoos and conditioners with no Sodium Lauryl/Laureth sulfate if you can -- it's a known skin irritant and may result in damage to hair follicles and loss of hair. When used in bubble baths, it can cause irritation by damaging skin's protective surface (ever end up with red bumps from using bubble bath?

This product:
-- No parabens, petroleum-based ingredients, sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate, or other harsh preservatives or chemicals
-- No synthetic fragrances or colors
-- pH balanced
-- 100% Vegetarian ingredients and no animal testing

Just ok

I'm still trying to find good bath products and I'm having a hard time finding them. I used the Lavender shampoo and it was ok. I didn't really feel like my hair was that clean, but more coarse then anything.

Organic shampoo for you

Avalon makes a great shampoo. No parabens, no sodium lauryl sulfate. It's hypo-allergenic. It's organic. Avalon is fairly easy to find now, as I think the company has done quite well for itself. I think they're from Canada.

Organic Showers

Every two days I take an organic shower. I haven't been able to access pure, fair trade water, however all the products I use are made chemical-free. Primrose/Lavender Shampoo is a great product!
