Lush Duck and Burts Bees Super Shiny Shampoo and Conditioner
Sunday, September 25, 2011 at 7:31PM 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.

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.
