finally, now where can I find this locally?
I read about this achievement, but forgot the company name and I'm glad to find the review here. I am anxiously awaiting to try these products. Hopefully they will soon appear on store shelves in America. My only question is if the packaging is equally environmental and sustainable. Why only go so far in making them organic, go the rest of the way and make a dream product, one that has packaging that biodegrades. I know there are corn-based plastics available now.
Update: I ordered the shampoo, conditioner and two styling products. I like all of the products, but found the shampoo a bit hard to lather up - at first. I know lather is not a sign of cleansing. I have very fine, curly and tangle-prone hair, so I need a shampoo that will work to help detangle it. For me the shampoo works better as a 2nd shampoo, after the first with a different brand. The conditioner works well but I especially love the styling gel and spray. As they both leave my hair manageable and soft even, while taming the frizz and offering some body and hold to my hair. These are expensive, but not more so than some other brands, but I feel carbon-footprint anxiety when shipping them across the country, not to mention from Australia! Once they achieve sustainable packaging (I hear ya, in the works), possible local production and distribution, they will be the best organic product on the market.
