Cruelty-Free Conditioning Co-Washes

Curlsmith’s Shampoo Gently Cleanses the Hair and Scalp

— June 29, 2021 — Fashion
Curlsmith boasts a conditioning co-wash that is vegan, cruelty-free, and suitable for all hair types—including color-treated hair, and especially for individuals with curly hair. The Curl Quenching Conditioning Wash is unlike others of its kind. Instead of the traditional formulation of two-in-one products that boast a shampoo base with little conditioning ingredients, Curlsmith’s option is “a conditioned base with little cleansing ingredients.”

The conditioning co-wash works miracles on smoothing and detangling unruly hair. Its creamy texture seamlessly nourishes and uplifts. The naturally derived Curlsmith Curl Quenching Conditioning Wash boasts a gentle experience and does not strip away natural oils.
The ingredient list includes avocado, coconut, and sunflower oils, shea butter, the Resurrection flower (also known as Rose of Jericho) which is known for its moisture-retention properties, Andiroba, along with Aloe, Sage, Rosemary, Pepper, and Basil extracts which are known for their antioxidant properties.
