With summer and nice weather comes dirty kids. Its inevitable- they play outside, they get messy. I like bathing my kids and using products on their hair and skin that are safe for them and without harmful ingredients, whenever possible. Original Sprout is a family-owned company that offers products that are gentle to the kids’ hair and skin and (not surprisingly) created by a mom.
First off, the packaging is great. Simplistic and clean, just like the product- although don’t let the look deceive you because these products perform very very well. I actually used the detangler on my own hair a few times after the kids played “do mommys hair” and I was very happy with how it worked even on my thick hair!!
Next- the ingredients- or rather, the lack of…you won’t find formaldehyde in Original Sprout products. Nor will you find lye.
I love this brand. I love that its a mom- started product line, and that they are so cautious with their ingredients, but also equally as conscious of the performance of the product. Definitely a hit in mybook. Or tub, as the case may be.
Our Worry-Free Formulas are loved & shared by families & stylists who enjoy safe & soothing products! Click here to see our Free & Clean Health Studies page.
For our review we tried the Natural Shampoo, Scrumptious Baby Cream and Miracle Detangler. I’ve been quite pleased with all three and have had some lucky (at long last) getting my left anklebone skin to soften and stop being a sandpaper-y spot with the cream! As I mentioned before the detangler even works in my thick, color treated hair and works well. My husband even likes this product line because there isn’t a strong scent to it- there really isn’t any scent.
