Can somebody confirm if this is ok to use for CG

Amlika Leave in

Aqua (Water)[/color] (Solvent/Diluent), Cetearyl Alcohol (Emulsifier), Glycerin (Humectant), Cetrimonium Chloride (Hair Conditioner), Dimethicone Copolyol (Skin/Hair Conditioning Agent), Phenoxyethanol (Preservative), Benzyl Alcohol (Preservative), Panthenol (Skin/Hair Conditioning Agent), Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride (Hair Conditioning Agent), Sodium Benzoate (Preservative), Propylene Glycol (Humectant), Methylparaben (Preservative), Disodium EDTA (Chelating Agent), Parfum (Fragrance), Lactic Acid (Skin Conditioning Agent), Emblica officinalis (Amalaki Extract) (Natural Additive), Butylparaben (Preservative), Ethylparaben (Preservative), Hexyl Cinnamal (Fragrance Ingredient), Isobutylparaben (Preservative), Propylparaben (Preservative), Butylphenyl Methylpropional (Fragrance Ingredient), Tocopherol (Antioxidant), Citronellol (Fragrance Ingredient), Geraniol (Fragrance Ingredient), Linalool (Fragrance Ingredient), Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde (Fragrance Ingredient), Eugenol (Fragrance Ingredient), Coumarin (Fragrance Ingredient), Citral (Fragrance Ingredient), Limonene (Fragrance Ingredient), Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone (Fragrance Ingredient), Anisyl Alcohol (Fragrance Ingredient), Cinnamyl Alcohol (Fragrance Ingredient).

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.

Blimey! Half the ingredients are ‘fragrance’! 

Your right,thats quite odd!

I find that with humectants it can also really depend on the weather. Since they pull moisture from the air I find that I can’t use them if it’s very humid. A lot of people get issues with them in dry air since they can pull moisture from the hair in dry conditions.

Just found a potential low-poo and was wondering if anyone could confirm if it’s CG:

Crown Pride organic babassu conditioning shampoo

Ingredients - Aqua, *+Decyl glucoside and *+Sodium lauroyl Lactylate , *Babassuamidopropyl betaine, *+Coco glucoside (and) *+Glyceryl oleate, *Vegetable glycerine, *Ricinoleamidopropyltrimonium methosulfate, *+Saponaria officinalis (organic soapwort) extract, *Hydroxyethylcellulose, Potassium sorbate, (optional) *+Mentha piperita (organic peppermint) oil.

*Plant derived

+ECOCERT

The only suspicious thing to me seems to be the methosulfate, but it says its plant derived so is this ok?

Hi Lozza Crown pride is a really good range.  It may be worth trying to see how you get on with it.

You would need a cleanser with cocamidopropyl betaine or cocobetaine to remove this.

Hi, I’ve just started using the Asda Smartprice gel and was wondering if anyone can confirm if it’s cg or not? It looks it to me from what I have read so far, but ingredients are:

Aqua, Triethanolamine, Carbomer, Polysorbate 20, PVP, Diazolidinyl Urea, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Methylparaben, Parfum, Benzophenone-4, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Linalool, CI 17200, CI 42090.

It’s only 23p so if it is cg its a bargain buy and won’t matter if I go through a tub a week lol

I saw this in the shop, and on my quick glance thought it was CG. Didn’t buy it though….if you use it let me know what its like. I’m a PJ of under£2 products lol. Yay for cheap products!

great that it looks ok! i have used it and to be honest it still doesnt stop all my frizz (think thats the expensive protein condish im trying to use up tho lol!) but it keeps the curls in and its not sticky either. well worth a try for the money i say!

Might have to try that then…at that price its cheaper than a bar of dairy milk!!

Ok, I’ve got another question lol!
While I was looking for the Boots Ingredients Intensive mask - Coconut & Almond I saw they also do a normal conditioner. Is this CG? I am wondering as it is a] on offer and b] it might be a good leave-in one for when the frizz sets in. [which it’s already starting to do ]

AQUA-CETEARYL ALCOHOL-BEHENTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE-CETYL ESTERS-ACETAMIDE MEA-SODIUM PCA-DMDM HYDANTOIN-PARFUM-PHENOXYETHANOL-METHYLPARABEN-CETRIMONIUM CHLORIDE-CETEARYL ALCOHOL-POLYSORBATE 60-LINALOOL-PROPYPARABEN-HYDROLYSED WHEAT PROTEIN-HYDROLYSED WHEAT STARCH-BUTYLPHENYL METHUPROPONAL-ALOE VERA-LIMONENE-TRIDECETH12-PROPYLENE GLYCOL-MACADAMIA TERNIFOUA-ANTHEMIS NOBILUS-ANICOZANTHOS FLAVIDUS-TARAXACUM OFFICINALE-PRUNUS SEROTINA-EQUISETUM ARVENSE-SAMBUCUS NIGRA-ALUM SATIVUM-URTICA DIDICA-ETHYLPARABEN-BUTYLPARABEN-ISOBUTYLPARABEN-C19140 C117200

just wanted to make sure this was CG, found it in my product stash, thanks!
