The Renpure Originals Argan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner
The Renpure Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner rate fairly low on the Dirty Dozen scale. They do contain a lot of ‘ethy’ sounding ingredients (PEG territory, potentially contaminated with ethylene oxide and dioxane), and a couple of other things that aren’t included in the Dirty Dozen, such as hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, but they stack up pretty well overall.
We’ve been
able to purchase this Argan Oil line at our local grocery store in the regular
shampoo/conditioner section (as opposed to the health food section). They don’t consistently carry every Renpure line (we’ve also tried the Organics
line) but they always have some portion of it available. You can always find it here: http://www.renpure.com/.
Moroccan
oil (the branded name for argan oil, which comes from the argan tree in
Morocco) is considered extremely
beneficial and nourishing for skin and hair. Having used this product over the
course of many months I didn’t notice anything miraculous, but it is certainly a very
nice product that has lasted months (great bottle size: $7.49/473mL). The texture is thick, and there’s a great natural lather. It certainly left my hair feeling
soft and rejuvenated. I also really enjoyed how different the fragrance was
from the more fruity and floral scents I’m used to getting in similar products.A mixed review:
The
fragrance is difficult to describe. It certainly isn’t floral. It’s almost
musky, like a roasted nut. Although I thought this would make it more attractive
to my teenage son, he wouldn’t use it because of the scent, but it can be
tricky to please everyone with one product in our 5 person house.
