Lush Duck and Burts Bees Super Shiny Shampoo and Conditioner

Thanks to Amanda and Daniel from Lush Duck for sending me some Burts Bees Super Shiny Grapefruit and Sugar Beet Shampoo and Conditioner to try.  Lush Duck is a new UK online natural and organic beauty retailer which sells some of my favorite brands: Akin, Pai Skin Care, and Lavera.  New customers get 10% of their first order and you get free second class shipping in the UK.  Who says natural beauty has to cost a lot?!

I really enjoyed using the shampoo and conditioner.  The grapefruit has a nice zingy scent which is uplifting and clears the mind.  The shampoo made my hair really soft and manageable and the conditioner allowed me get a comb through my tangled locks after my shower.

Shampoo ingredients as follows:

aqua, decyl glucoside, sucrose laurate, betaine, coco-glucoside, glycerin, glyceryl oleate, sodium cocoyl hydrolyzed soy protein, coco-betaine, lauryl glucoside, parfum (fragrance), citrus grandis (grapefruit) seed oil, citrus aurantium dulcis (sweet orange) peel oil, citrus nobilis (tangerine) oil, citrus medica limonum (lemon) oil, citrus aurantium amara (petitgrain) oil, hydroxypropyltrimonium honey, glucose, citric acid, xanthan gum, sodium chloride, glucose oxidase, lactoperoxidase, limonene

Conditioner ingredients as follows:

aqua, cetearyl alcohol, betaine, glycerin, cetrimonium bromide, sucrose polystearate, sucrose stearate, citrus grandis (grapefruit) seed oil, citrus aurantium dulcis (sweet orange) peel oil, citrus nobilis (tangerine) oil, citrus medica limonum (lemon) oil, citrus aurantium amara (petitgrain) oil, sclerocarya birrea oil, glucose, polysorbate 60, hydroxypropyltrimonium honey, parfum (fragrance), sodium chloride, glucose oxidase, lactoperoxidase, limonene

The Environmental Working Group rates these products 4/10 for toxicity which is the good side of average.  Looking up each ingredient individually, most ingredients came in 0 or 1/10.  Parfum was the biggest offender.  All in all, both solid products.  I would buy them myself if I was perusing the nearest Whole Foods store.
