Stream2Sea Leave in Conditioner

Stream2Sea Leave in Conditioner

This review is short but the start of my reviews from the many products that Stream2Sea sent me .
Stream2Sea lists every ingredient that is in their products. Listed below is what is in the leave in conditioner 

Aqueous Extracts of Camellia Sinenis (Green Tea) Leaf*, Ocimum Tenuiflorum (Tulsi) Leaf*, Alaria Esculenta (Wakame Seaweed)* and Olea Europa (Olive) Leaf*, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe) Leaf Juice*, Cetearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Chloride, Glycerin, Dimethiconol Panthenol, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Cocodimonium Hydrolyzed Keratin, Gluconolactone, Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides, Cinnamidopropyltrimonium Chloride, Undaria Pinnatifida (Wakame Seaweed) Bioferment, Lactobacillus/Olea europaea (Olive) Leaf Ferment, Hydrolyzed Keratin Protein, Tocopherols, Panthenol, Fragrance (Naturally Derived), Sodium Benzoate
* Certified Organic

I have been using the leave in conditioner for the last three weeks. I used it everyday after showering and after pool days. The leave in conditioner is UV absorbent to protect your hair and also has keratin and panthenol in it that keeps hair strong. It detangles and Defrizzes –which if you have thick hair like myself is a huge benefit. Normally I fight to get the brush through my hair but with this product it glides right through with no knots. Humidity-no problem!, it keeps it all defrizzed .  I only had to use a very small amount; I would say dime size or less. It makes my hair shiny and smooth and never greasy unlike normal conditioners.  I have tried many different types of leave in’s and regular conditioners over the years and nothing compares to this. All the others left me looking like I never showered… gross. It also does not weigh my hair down at all. Some other interesting  things about this product (and all stream2sea products ) the bottle is made out of sugar cane resin, its biodegradable and is tested safe not only for us but for fish and coral larvae. I passed out a couple samples to my friends and the results were the same- its FANTASTIC! They loved it so much they bought a large sized bottle.  There is nothing bad to say about this product or its ingredients.

Stream2Sea introduction

Steam2Sea graciously sent me a package of their many different products. I have been working on trying them all thoroughly before posting each review.
before I starting into my reviews I would like to give you a little background information. Steam2sea also provided me with amazing educational information that was both terrifying and fascinating. I will be referencing this throughout my many reviews.

All Stream2Sea products utilize the sugarcane resin tubes, except the lip balm ( they are working on making that packaging more sustainable)

Common ingredients in body care  products are absorbed into your body and are passed through urine, blood and breast milk.

Some FDA approved ingredients in body care products are linked to cancer, hormone imbalance, cellular damage and more.

An estimated 14,000 tons of sunscreen enters our reefs. 1 drop of oxybenzone in 6 swimming pools is enough to kill coral larva. 85%  of mothers milk contained chemical UV filters ( oxybenzone, avobenzone, octinoxate, octyl methoxyconnamate)

                Oxybenzone effects on coral:

-          Coral bleaching

-          DNA damage

-          Impacts fertility

-          Skeletal endocrine disrupter

-          Contaminates coral, fish, bird eggs, sea turtle eggs, marine mammals

Other sunscreens contain:

-          Oxybenzone

-          Octinoxate

-          Octyl methoxycinnamate

-          Endocrine disrupters

These can mimic hormones, reduce sperm count, reduce thyroid function and affect the functioning of glands and hormones.

                Phthalates: chemicals used to make plastics more flexible

-          Absorbed through skin, stomach and lungs

-          Used in soaps , body wash , shampoos, cosmetics, ect.
