Now you KNOW how I am all about healthy ingredients right? No cones, parabens or sulfates for me! For more info on why, click here.
Well KinkyKurlyQueen just did a great review of not one but three delicious Desert Essence Organic Conditioners!
From what she says they all provide great slip and moisturize really well. And the best part? (Wait for it)
They only cost her $5.12 each
Yep. Now I have your attention. Check out the full review below.
Naturally Obsesssed Review of Dessert Essence Conditioners
Has anyone else used Desert Essence Organic Conditioner? How’d they work for you?
I wonder if this will work for my hair which isn’t porous at all.I’ve never seen it this cheap at my local whole foods.
@Erin thanks for commenting! It’s so cheap, you could try it as a co-wash first, and then maybe as a DC or mix it with something to DC. I haven’t seen it that cheap either. I think there’s a link on her blog as to where she found it. Let us know how it turns out!
hey, those conditioner are like 8 bucks where i live!!!! and i have been eyeballing them for so long!!! especially the Italian Red grape!!!!!!
think i may have to pick some up!!!
well after reading this the first day I ran out lunchtime & went to vitaminshoppe where it was $8 grrr…lol..but let me tell u i washed my hair over the weekend with the grape…OMG!! besides the yummy smell but my hair was very soft/moisturized & im a 4b..So i would say thumbs up..but i ordered some more from lucky vitamin..that is where its $5.12. so give it a try.
Thank you so much for letting us all know how it worked for you! How was the slip? I’m gonna find some myself. I’m always excited when I can find good stuff without icky ingredients that’s less than $10!

@Zainab wow thanks! I really like your site too!
Just thought I would let you guys know that this is available on vitacost.com for $4.16. This has been the best site with the best prices for EVERYTHING you need.
I have been slowly but surely discovering that, like my mamaw, I am becoming more and more allergic to chemicals that cause me itchy scalp and skin conditions. Three that I know of are laurel or laureth sulfate, dimethicone and parabens. These make my life miserable! I am Caucasian with medium thick, curly yet fine. Appears very frizzy if I dont use some type of smoother or styling creme but haven’t found a product free of the irritants mentioned. Can i use the product mentioned…Desert Essence product and do they make a shampoo and other styling products? Thanks so very much for your help in advance!

@Susie Hi there! I don’t use/review anything on this blog with parabens, sulfates, cones, mineral oil or petrolatum, so you’ve definitely come to the right place, welcome! Yes! Desert Essence does make a whole shampoo line of products without those ingredients. The Desert Essence Red Grape shampoo contains a coconut derived sulfate called Sodium Coco Sulfate that DE claims to be naturally derived, but in my world a sulfate is a sulfate, and I’ve recently decided to include all-derived sulfates in that category. (Just my opinion). For more info on that particular ingredient, click here.
I would suggest checking out check out Trader Joe’s Tea Tree Triple Treat Shampoo. I did a review of the conditioner here. They work really well on all hair types and they are really cost effective too! HTH!
