10 YEARS CLEAN - HONEYROCK'S BIRTHDAY
Celebrating 10 Years of healthy bubbles.
10 years ago the world was waking up to the dangers of common chemicals in the products we use daily on our hair and skin. Having been a hairdresser since 1980 I had contributed to the naive assumption that the more expensive the products we used the higher the quality. Hairdressers and customers were waking up to the effects of harsh chemicals and silicone in hair products. Big bubbles and that silky slimy feeling when you apply conditioner to your hair is most likely a sign that the shampoo is based on the common harsh surfactant in dishwashing liquid known as SLS - Sodium Laurel /Laureth Sulphate. And the conditioner is full of silicone, the stuff in Duco that makes car paint shiny.
Surfactants are the cleaners in your product. They are what make the bubbles!
Silicone in conditioners is used to bind to the cuticle layer of your hair. Honeyrock's natural conditioner won't coat your hair, the butter's and oils in the slightly acidic formulation make the cuticle flakes fall tightly against each other and hair feels smooth again, even after you rinse the conditioner out.
Honeyrock Shampoo is based on decyl glucoside, it is a natural, renewable, plant-derived, biodegradable, and gentle mild non-ionic surfactant. Derived from corn, beet and coconut sugars. It is the gentlest cleansing agent, suitable for the most sensitive skin and unlike some other "natural" surfactants it bubbles well, naturally.
