Product Review: Rainforest Moisture Series by The Body Shop

The great advantage about this series of products is that they do not contain silicones, parabens or sulfates. Sulfate is found in most shampoos and conditioners and is what causes shampoo foam. It’s a very harsh substance that can dry out your hair. Parabens and silicones coat your hair - they artificially make hair feel smooth. However, they block further moisture from entering the hair shaft and cause dryness over time.

I was pleasantly surprised by the moisturising effect of these products. The shampoo (which contains natural oils and honey) cleanses without stripping the hair. The conditioner and hair butter leave the hair feeling luxuriously smooth without weighing it down.

The down side for me was the fragrance. Personally, I like fruity or flowery scents. Unfortunately, these smell, as the name suggests, just like a rain forest.
