As you know, I’m not a huge fan of Aubrey Organics; its skin care products suck. And while Aubrey Organics offers an impressive number of organic certified personal care products, and is known as an eco company overall, not all of its stuff gets the best rankings on Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep database. Aubrey’s Rosa Mosqueta Nourishing Shampoo, for example, gets a “moderate risk” ranking of 3.
Still, I gave the products a try. Rosa Mosqueta Nourishing Shampoo was okay, but not v. impressive. This product, which is supposed to be good for all hair types but great for color-treated hair, was more watery than most shampoos. The stuff didn’t lather well, making it difficult for anyone with long hair to spread throughout.
That said, I actually liked the Blue Camomile Hydrating Conditioner quite a bit. The stuff’s thinner than most conditioners, but I found it worked quite well as a detangler! Plus it’s ranked a low risk 2 on EWG.
I tend to like my shampoo and conditioner to come from the same company, but if I have trouble finding a pair of matching eco hair care products, I may very well start using Aubrey Organics Blue Camomile Hydrating Conditioner as my regular conditioner.
You know what? I used that shampoo and liked it at first, but I felt some nasty buildup after a while, so I abandoned it. Maybe it was just me, though.

Ugh — That doesn’t sound good. I’ll write about a shampoo that’s working for me now soon –
