OK, thanks.

It’s a shampoo though.

well in that case I don’t know!!  I know its not cg! 

edit; I don’t know if these things cancel each other out.  ie if there is a silicone it would come out with the poo part but if it did, what would be the point of putting it in in the first place?

another edit:  further research revealed that silicones are included in shampoos to counteract the dryness of the shampoo during the rinsing process the silicone part will coat the hair to do this.

Right then, is this ok?

Is this CG? It’s the Frizz-ease spiral style stuff

Aqua, VP/VA copolymer, PEG-12 dimethicone, methyl gluceth-20, hydrolysed silk, hydrolyzed wheat protein, sodium laneth-40 maleate/styrene sulfonate copolymer, propylene glycol, sodium hydroxide, citric acid, sodium citrate, disodium edta, parfum, acrylates/beheneth-25 methacrylate copolymer, propylparaben, methylparaben, diazolidinyl urea, linalool, butylphenyl methylpropional

????

Thanks!!!

well this is the only cone I can see and that is peg modified so will be water soluble - however you may want to look at some of the other ingredients (not because they aren’t cg)

aaargh I’ve been studying it for ages and can’t figure out which ingredient/s is/are bad, but I thought it probably wasn’t ok as it wasn’t on your list. Luckily I could find the OS mint conditioner so have started again I’ll be going to Boots soon, although it’s only a little one and neither it nor our little tescos sell much lol.

The list is updated when someone lets me know if something is cg - I haven’t got every cg product on it.  If there is one that is cg and you can give a rough idea of the price and post it here I’ll add it on tho.    (if it’s a product I don’t know if it’s cg and there are any suspect ingredients I usually just google them to see what they are).

(as a general rule, ingredients ending in cone, xane, conol are silicones.  They may cause build up and may not come out if you are co-washing only.  If you are doing a low poo then chances are they will come out. If the silicone has PEG in front of it, it means that it has been modified and will come out with water)

Can somebody confirm if this is ok to use for CG

Sorry about the ingredient descriptions inbetween!

From what I have read on here the Dimethicone Copolyol is water soluble….the only other thing I notice that may be a problem is their seem to be alot of Humectants and I think I have heard people mention these as bad

Thanks.

the Dimethicone copolyol is water soluble.  Humectants aren’t bad as such - just depends in your own hair likes a lot of them in a product or not.  (my hair for example doesn’t)
