My latest hair care review is made by Giovanni. It’s an invigorating shampoo and conditioner made with tea tree oil and other great essential oils too. It’s called “Tea Tree Triple Treat” and it’s the perfect summer time shampoo.

Tea tree oil is known to be very good for treating troubled skin. In this case, it also helps deal with dry, patchy, or itchy scalp.  So it would make sense to add tea tree into a shampoo.

Tea tree oil on it’s own can smell really strong, but in combination with other essential oils, it’s much nicer. I’ve noticed it works well with such oils such as lemongrass or peppermint.

It was really the ingredients used in Giovanni’s that got my attention.  Such as organic eucalyptus, rosemary, peppermint, and other good essential oils.  It’s even got sea salt and trace minerals.

It’s also vegan (no animal by product), cruelty free (no animal was harmed to make this stuff), and sulfate free (no extra chemicals used to create lather).  It’s also made right here in the U.S.A.

Since I am a fruit lover of all kinds, this new shampoo from Organix caught my eye.  And the fact there was a “TRY ME FREE” offer attached to the bottle was nice too.  I found them at Target and there was a good selection, from Cucumber Yogurt to Coconut Milk.  I think grapefruit mango butter would be neat, but I didn’t see them there.

I decided on the passionfruit and guava shampoo and conditioner. The smell from the bottle is nice and fruity, but in the shower it’s more like fruit soda.  Not too much like guava as I expected.  The nicest guava scent I’ve came across is from the soap and candle company Pacifica.

Here is a list of some of the ingredients: organic passionfruit extract and guava adds essential vitamins and anti-oxidants, and orange blossom infused with honey.

Not only is it made from organic fruit extracts, but it’s also free from harsh chemicals. And the best part for me is that all the shampoos and conditioners are sulfate-free.  And bottles are eco-friendly, manufactured from materials containing recycled post-consumer resin.

All labels are printed utilizing environmental inks and compostable label film made from annually renewable resource corn, not from petrochemicals.
