With the increasing awareness of the importance of being environmentally conscious, more and more people are seeking out sustainable hair care products. After all, why not use products that are both good for your hair and good for the planet? But what should you look for when selecting a conditioner that is both healthy for your hair and sustainable? Let’s explore.
Look for Natural Ingredients
The first thing to look for in a quality conditioner is natural ingredients. Natural ingredients such as aloe vera, coconut oil, argan oil, avocado oil, and shea butter are some of the best ingredients to help nourish your hair while also being gentle on the environment. They are also free from harsh chemicals and toxins that can be damaging to your scalp and cause skin irritation.
Sustainable Packaging
Another important factor to consider when looking for sustainable hair care products is the packaging. Many conventional brands have packaging made from plastic or other non-biodegradable materials. While these materials may be convenient and easy to store, they are not good for the environment. Instead, look for companies that use recyclable or biodegradable packaging such as glass bottles or compostable cardboard containers. This will ensure that your product won’t end up in landfills after it has been used up!
Cruelty-Free Companies
Finally, look for companies that don’t test their products on animals. Companies should clearly state if they do not test on animals so you can be sure you are supporting cruelty-free brands when shopping for conditioners. You can also check the Leaping Bunny Program website which lists companies that do not test their products on animals.
Shop Local
The shorter the distance your product needs to travel will reduce the overall environmental footprint of that product as well as supporting local businesses.
Don’t be hard on yourself if you can’t find all that in one package. The #MOMIN Conditioner of choice at the moment doesn’t tick all these boxes but gets pretty darn close. It is the Revitalising Australian Fragonia & Bergamot Deep Conditioner from IKOU.
Local to me, native Australian ingredients, the packaging is a larger size so reducing packaging, however, could be better on this score. The aesthetic of the packaging will work nicely with any modern bathroom. $49.95 AUD for 500ml so approx $2 per wash which aligns with the MOMIN Money philosophy, while supporting a local business that has been operating for 15 years.
But the big winner for me is the fact you can heat this up and create a scalp treatment at home with very little additional effort and your hair will look stunningly beautiful.
