Eco-Friendly Mama: Safe product recommendations with a focus on organic and Made in USA!

It’s so exciting to me when a brand new product comes out that I know has been in the works for a long time! Poofy recently added a more intensive, deep conditioner to their current offerings which include a variety of leave-in spray conditioners, and everyday cream conditioners. The new offering is intended to be more of a hair mask, something you let sit on your hair longer than you typically would with your everyday conditioners. I followed the directions for the pre-shampoo treatment which are: Apply generously to dry hair from roots to ends. Let sit for 15–30 minutes, then rinse and follow with your favorite Poofy Organics shampoo. What’s my favorite Poofy shampoo? Mighty Mane! Look for a review of that in the future.

I also appreciated the timely nature of this product being added to the Poofy portfolio as I had just come back from a weekend of camping with some family members and saw one of them pull out some old school VO5 bright yellow oil packets and use them for a deep treatment. Curious about what’s in those? I was, and this is what I found: Water, Cocotrimonium Chloride, Cetinimonium Chloride, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Acetamide Mea, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Hydrochloric Acid, Oleth-20, Keratin Amino Acids, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Fragrance, Disodium Edta, Polyquaternium-10, Methylchloroisothiazolino Ne, Methylosothiazoline, Yellow 6 (Ci 15985), Phytantriol, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein PG-Propyl Silanetriol, Polysorbate 20, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Oil, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Biotin (Vitamin H), Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Niacinamide (Vitamin B3). Definitely not something I’d recommend!!

What’s in Poofy’s? Ingredients: Distilled Water, Organic Aloe, Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Organic Glycerin, Emulsifying Wax, Montanov 202, Organic Honey, Organic Jojoba) Oil, Organic Olive Oil, Organic Safflower Oil, Organic Geranium Essential Oil, Organic Frankincense Essential Oil, Organic Tea Tree Essential Oil, Leuconostoc Ferment Filtrate (Kimchi Seaweed). It’s $28 for an 8 oz pump top bottle.

Looking at that ingredient list makes me SO happy. Talk about a fantastic organic ingredient selection!!! This product is chock full of awesome, organic ingredients. But there is something new that has not been used in a Poofy product before so I wanted to highlight it. What is Montanov 202? It’s an emulsifier which is an ingredient that helps blend the oils and water to give the product that creamy consistency. Montanov 202 is a combo of the following ingredients:  Arachidyl Alcohol, Behenyl Alcohol, Arachidyl Glucoside. Montanov 202 is a 100% natural emulsifier derived from renewable vegetable sources, specifically from glucose and fat derived from rapeseed oil. It is palm-free, which is more & more sought after in those seeking natural & organic products. Source

Info from Poofy’s website about this brand new product which has been in the formulation phase for well over a year: “Give your hair the deep care it craves with our Deep Conditioner, a rich, botanical blend designed to hydrate and support healthy-looking strands—without synthetic additives or heavy buildup. Made with certified organic oils, honey, and plant-based emulsifiers, this conditioner leaves hair feeling softer, smoother, and more manageable after just one use. Formulated with organic aloe, apple cider vinegar, and oils like jojoba, olive, and safflower to help restore natural balance and moisture—plus essential oils of geranium, frankincense, and tea tree for a fresh, herbal finish.”

With straight, not super thick hair, conditioners often leave me greasy. Typically I’ll use a bit of cream conditioner in the winter months mainly to combat dry, static-filled air. In the warmer months generally a few spritzes of leave-in conditioner is all I’ll use. So I was curious if that’s what would happen with this product. Would it leave me super greasy?

Before pic:

I applied it and let it sit 1/2 hr. My hair is quite long as you can see. I applied it to dry hair so it took quite a bit of product. Next time I will wet it down first. I know I used more than I needed because of my hair being dry. But maybe it was good that it really soaked it up too?! Honestly, I don’t love the smell. It’s not awful, but it’s not lovely either, a bit medicinal is the best way I can describe it. I avoided conditioning my roots and bangs and really just focused on the length of my hair. I put it up in a bun and set my timer for 1/2 an hour.

I truly feel, and think you can see below how shiny it is in the after pics. I made sure to rinse it realllllllly well! Then shampooed it, and rinsed really well again and didn’t finish with any additional conditioner.

The suggested uses include: “As a Conditioner: After shampooing, apply a generous amount to damp hair, focusing on mid-lengths to ends. Leave on for 2–3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Use as needed for regular conditioning.

As a Deep Conditioning Hair Mask: Apply to clean, damp hair from roots to ends. For best results, cover with a shower cap and leave on for 15–30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Use 1–2 times per week for deep hydration and softness.

As a Pre-Shampoo Treatment: Apply generously to dry hair from roots to ends. Let sit for 15–30 minutes, then rinse and follow with your favorite Poofy Organics shampoo.”

This product is: Synthetic-Free | Hypoallergenic | Cruelty-Free | 100% Biodegradable | Paraben-Free | Soy-Free | Gluten-Free | Dye-Free *Formulated with gentle, plant-based ingredients. Always patch test for sensitivity.

DO YOU LOVE TO SAVE MONEY?!

I truly love helping you get the most value out of every order. As a budget shopper myself, this is deeply personal to me. Of course products made by hand with all-natural and organic ingredients are going to cost more than something you’d pick up at a local big box store. So making sure you’re getting the best deal on these amazing products is super important! There are many ways to save on your Poofy purchases:

–Shipping is free over $70 (quite reasonable I think!)

**Note: your Perks Points do expire, and they cannot be used during a Poofy sitewide sale since you can’t use 2 codes at once. Therefore, these are great to use in-between sales to try a brand new item, or get something you need before the next sale arrives. You’ll be able to track your points, and when they expire via your account once you create it.

–This is a big one: there are 3 sitewide sales each year: Earth Day, Labor Day, Black Friday. These typically offer 15% off sitewide.
