Hi Fliss

Don’t think so as it has paraffinum liquidum and I think a couple of ‘cones Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone.

Just to clarify - Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone are preservatives (not silicones) so you are ok with those. The paraffinum liquidum however isn’t water soluble - so not CG.

I received some Davines Products in this months glossy box and was wondering if anyone knows if they are cg friendly.  It says they are 98% natural .  The products are Davines Authentic Cleansing Nectar for Hair & Body and Davines Authentic Moisturizing Balm for Face, Hair & Body .You can use them on both hair and body and seem really moisturising so would like to give them a go on my hair if cg friendly

Well for £1 you could use it as shaving lotion.  grin

Just a question, would that be that you would apply it and then shave it off, or apply it after shaving?

Thank you!

Hiya

As a shaving lotion. Put it on wet/damp legs then shave as usual. Works a treat. X

Had a massive sort out of my cupboard-full of products - while most of them I knew whether they were safe or not, I found the following three that I’m not sure on - are they CG friendly, please?

AQUA LIGHT LIGHTWEIGHT NOURISHING HAIR MIST
Ingredients:
Aqua, Isododecane, Parfum, Isopropyl Alcohol, Panthenol, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Cetrimomium Chloride, Polyquaternium-6, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Polysorbate 20, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal, PEG-20 Glyceryl Laurate, Limonene, Benzyl Salicylate, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Geraniol, Citronellol, Linoleic Acid, Tocopherol, Hydroxycitronellal, CI 61565, Retinyl Palmitate, Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate, Helianthus Annus Seed Oil, CI 40800, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

SYSTEME PRO-VITAMIN 2-IN-1 STYLING GEL SPRAY
Ingredients:
Aqua, Polyquaternium-46, Polysorbate 20, Panthenol, Imidazolidinyl, Urea, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Parfum, Benzyl Alcohol, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde, Benzyl Salicylate, Citronellol, d-limonene.


ALBERTO BALSAM STYLING WAX (not sure if I would use this anyway but just in case)

If any of them aren’t CG friendly, then at least I can get rid of them and free up some more space!  Thanks!
