We get it. If ever there was a perfect time to try out a beard, it was during the nationwide shutdown this year. But as states begin to reopen and many of us begin planning on our return to the office, it may be time for the beard to go. Don't get me wrong. If you like your new look, by all means, keep it!

On the subject of diet, I have often heard the advice, "if you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it.” Other than taking quinoa off the table for a lot of people, it's a pretty good guideline.

Our conditioner is a great example of how the combination of all-natural elements and ingredients developed with modern science can result in the best product out there. While our ingredients list certainly includes plant extracts and oils, there are also some compounds you have likely never heard of. Rest easy. We pride ourselves on only using safe, effective and responsibly-sourced ingredients.
It's also why we like to take a deeper dive into our products and explain each of our ingredients—what they are, and what they do.
