I was looking at these a few weeks ago - very tempting. They are CG in the no sulfate/silicone sense, but do have a few ingredients to watch out for as they can build up for some people (bolded below):

The candelilla wax can build up as it’s not water soluble, same with the quat-87. (I’ve used it myself without any problems, but I do cleanse with a shampoo or cleansing conditioner about 2x a month).

Again, the quat can cause problems (this particular one is not known to build up on itself, though, as it’s a pretty big molecule).

Same as with the conditioner. The isopropyl alcohol is technically rubbing alcohol. Theoretically it could dry your hair out, but seeing as it’s below fragrance in the ingredients list, it’s probably there for formulaic reasons (ie, to make it hang together properly) and unlikely to actually have an effect on your hair.

Given they’re cheapish (well, compared to a lot of the Emporium products), I’d give ‘em a go if I were you.

I’m using these at the moment and wasn’t sure, this has been REALLY helpful, thank you.
