Baobab Leave-In Conditioner
This leave-in conditioner is a rich, no-rinse emulsion combining coconut oil with baobab oil and baobab fruit extract, glycerin and lavender essential oil. Beeswax and guar gum give it a creamy, leave-in consistency for lasting detangling, shine and protection between washes. Formulated without synthetic silicones or parabens.
