We use only the highest quality pharmaceutical grade components in our products. The cost is higher, but we strive to provide our customers with the best product possible. Most allergies to a specific ingredient are from the impurities left in that ingredient in the refining process, not from the ingredient itself. There can be as many as 5 different grades of a specific ingredient available. Of course the purer the ingredient the higher the cost of producing it.

Aloe Vera: A natural botanical extract that provides soothing conditioning properties.

Cetrimonium Chloride: An excellent hair conditioner. Cationic (positively-charged) conditioning agent possessing substantive properties for hair. It neutralizes charges eliminating static fly away and dry scalp. Hair is easy to manage and tangle-free.

Cetyl Alcohol:   A wax. A super fatting agent. A fat substance extracted from coconut oil and the white base found in the creams.
        ****It is called an "alcohol" by organic chemists because the molecular structure (atom chain) ends in an OH making it a negative. Most people thinks of alcohol as wood alcohol or grain alcohol. Cetyl alcohol in simple terms, is the opposite. Cetyl alcohol is a skin conditioner.
On the same subject, if a particular molecular structure ends in a H, it is considered a positive, and those same organic chemists use the term "acid"!! Again these products are not acids in terms of what most people consider acids to be.
It is for this reason that they call Omega-3, linolenic acid and Omega-6, linoleic acid.
