The Mangrove Conditioner ($16.95) has a pleasant, clean scent that is really light. By it being natural, the lather is great and it really cleans my hair without me having to vigorously scrub. You can also use it as a leave-in conditioner, but for some reason it really weighed down my hair using it that way. So I only rinse it out after leaving it in for a few minutes. It gives my hair plenty of moisture and makes it smell great! The size makes it perfect for traveling.

More than 95% of all hair conditioners available over the counter or from salons contain a form of silicone. Many contain multiple forms of the chemical to coat and encase the hair shaft. The results are a high shine that leaves hair very organized. The problem with silicones is that they coat the scalp and pores as equally as they do the hair. Many dermatologists believe that silicones along with sulfates are a primary cause of premature baldness in men and women. To address this, Keys searched the world for a natural conditioner ingredient that would operate like silicone, but without the negative properties. What they discovered was a natural conditioner called Brassica. It resembles pure natural coconut, but without the stripping characteristics of coconut. It has a low acidity level so it mirrors the skin and scalp condition. Mangrove Conditioner contains Brassica and other natural oils in a concentrated conditioning cream.

Mangrove Conditioner is also great for your pets. Many pet conditioners use huge amounts of silicone, and unregulated it can be difficult to find a conditioner for your pets that won't weigh them down with junk. Keys designed Mangrove specifically to help pet owners find a better, safer way to care for their pets coat.



The Tea Naturals Skin Care Tea Breeze Lemongrass Facial Mist ($9.95) gives me the right amount of moisture with lemongrass and ginger essential oils. It also has enough witch hazel to tighten and tone my skin. It is a good product to use after my vigorous workouts with Kettleworx. My skin drinks it right up. Better yet, it is very reasonably priced.
