Babo Botanicals

I decided to try a new shampoo and conditioner from Babo Botanicals. I haven't heard of this company but I found them on the EWG website. I went with the Berry Primrose Smoothing Shampoo & Wash and the Berry Primrose Smoothing Conditioner. I'm obsessed. I honestly don't think I will ever use another brand of shampoo & conditioner ever again.

First, let's start with the scent. It smells so good. I can't get over it. I get whiffs of it throughout the day and love it. As i said, I got the Berry Primrose but they have a few other scents as well. They have Oatmilk & Calendula Shampoo, Lavender & Meadowsweet Shampoo, Cucumber & Aloe Vera Swim and Sport Shampoo, a Lice Shampoo and a Fragrance Free Shampoo. I can't wait to try the lavender one.

Second, let's talk about how soft it makes my hair. It's loaded with evening primrose oil, shea butter and cocoa butter which smoothes and softens the hair. It's also enriched with Babo's Nutri-Soothe Complex, rich in vitamins and anti-oxidants. My hair has never felt so soft.

Lastly, it's free of all the bad stuff. It does not contain SLS, sulfates, parabens, phthalates, silicone, synthetic fragrance, dyes, sodium chloride, formaldehyde, mineral oil, MEA, DEA and TEA. This amazing formula does contain tree nuts, coconut and shea butter. Babo Botanicals is a Certified B Corp, Cruelty Free, and Vegan Friendly.

I highly recommend Babo Botanical products. The founder, Kate, originally started the line for babies and children. In fact, she named the company after her son's security bunny, Babo. Kate graduated from Harvard, joined the Peace Corps, then landed a job as a skincare product developer. She worked for L'Oréal, LVMH, Avon and Redken. When she got pregnant with her first child, she went searching for safe, natural products for her new baby. Her entrepreneurial spirit kicked in and Babo Botanicals began. The products perform so well, they are perfect for babies, children, teenagers and adults.
