I bought a bottle of GPB conditioner because I wanted to try something more natural on my hair. It has a strong perfume smell, that is not accounted for by any of the ingredients listed in on the bottle.
Coconut Fatty Acid Cream Base, Organic Aloe Vera, Wheat Germ Oil, Lactalbumin, Organic Rosemary Oil, Organic Sage Oil, Horsetail Extract, Coltsfoot Extract, Nettle Extract, Amino Acid Complex (Cysteine, Methionine), Glycoprotein (from oyster shells), Balsam Oil, Aubrey's Preservative (Citrus Seed Extract, Vitamins A, C and E).
If you've smelled this conditioner then you know what I am talking about. I thought that it could be the scent of the Basalm oil, but basalm doesn't smell like that. Obviously they have used fragrance and not listed it on their ingredient list. I know that many natural "organic" shampoos and conditioners are mostly hype, because by the time you process those natural ingredients so that they can be used as a shampoo or conditioner they aren't really any more natural or organic than the synthetic stuff, but if it works for my hair I don't really care. I am concerned that AO is marketing products that are "natural and organic" and then leaving ingredients off the list. I like to know exactly what I am putting in my hair. And what makes this situation especially laughable is the mission statement listed on aubreyorganics.com.

I know what you mean tho, by not knowing if certain ingredients have been added that are not on the label, it does cause concern. Why not contact the company thru an e-mail to ask them your question?

I think that I'll put in on my head anyway, and just send AO an angry letter about their lying labels. My hair loves this stuff, whatever it is.
