It is a post about how ingredients should be listed. <br /><br />It is a personal choice as to what ingredients you choose to use and what you find work for you. All the things you mentioned as deal breakers for you are deal makers for me especially preservatives (no gunk growing in my conditioner) and humectants (my hair loves them).<br /><br />I have not ever seen a list like this one which makes an effort to tell the consumer what each ingredient is doing in the bottle - this is what I am praising.Jchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983132094574128087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-35283962816971724952012-06-20T16:05:24.922+01:002012-06-20T16:05:24.922+01:00Not the conditioner - shampoo yesNot the conditioner - shampoo yesJchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983132094574128087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-14519139297387264852012-06-20T16:04:58.584+01:002012-06-20T16:04:58.584+01:00Isa is right, the picture on the side was a sugges...Isa is right, the picture on the side was a suggestion of more products to buy.

I'm using the Sweet Lemon Whip body lotion, fairly thick and very citrusy.
