Advantages: Great fragrances, paraben free, uses natural ingredients

Disadvantages: A bit higher priced than some shampoos/conditioners

I have tried both the Faith in Nature shampoo and conditioner in Aloe Vera. I chose these products because I am concerned about both the affect of chemicals on the environment and myself. Faith in Nature products contain naturally sourced ingredients, no artifical colours or perfumes,no parabens or SLES (which has been linked to cancers amongst other illnesses) and they're not tested on animals. Faith In Nature is a brand that produces many environmentally friendly tolietries. They also produce a branch of household products and ingredients under the name Clear Spring which I also use, and am impressed with. You can visit their website www.faithinnature.co.uk for a full list of items they produce and where you can buy them from.

The shampoo and conditioner were £3.50 each, you can buy them in most health food stores, organic shops and some Sainsburys and some Waitroses. The smell was lovely and left a nice clean and not overpowering smell on my hair. My hair was soft and manageable afterwards. It didn't leave it with a deep conditioned feeling, but perhaps you could use the conditioner on the hair for longer and that might have that affect.

The labelling is clear and it explains all its organic credentials and ingredients. The range also comes in other flavours (?) lavender and geranium, seaweed, chocolate and rosemary.

The bottles cap was a slightly annoying design, the conditioner inparticular was a bit difficult to get out the bottle as the hole was small and the conditioner thick but this wasn't a reason not to buy the product again.

I would use this range all the time if it were not for the price as it isn't the cheapest on the market but it is one of the cheaper eco-brands. I believe though that from some stores or mail order you can purchase in bulk, which may make it more affordable.

Summary: Great if you're concerned about the environment and your own health.
