Whether you’re a very regular Poofy customer, or you haven’t ordered in years… I hope you’ll take the time to browse this year’s holiday collection and take care of at least a few people on your shopping list AND treat yourself! I’m a huge fan of gifting self-care products like bath salts, or luxurious sugar scrubs and body butters, bath bombs and the like. It’s a gentle nudge to the receiver to take a time out for themselves and relax– something we could all use more of! There truly is something for everyone, and every budget. And remember, sets can be broken up to spread around too! Buy a set of 3 hand creams (or body sprays, bath bombs, etc), and give 3 teachers, co-workers, bosses, etc on your list each one.
**The 2025 15% off sale is OFFICIALLY ON!!!! Poofy sales are a REALLY big deal because they only happen sitewide 3 times/year: Earth Day (April), Labor Day (Sep) and Black Friday (Nov).

Thank you, thank YOU, THANK YOU for choosing Poofy Organics. So much work has gone into creating this holiday collection, as well as each of your everyday essentials. Without your support, they could cease to exist. YOU are appreciated!!
I feel the need to start with this statement so I’m 10000% clear. This has nothing to do with any personal feelings towards any individual. My motto has been for the last decade+: ingredients speak for themselves; they just need a voice. I am that voice. I cannot sit by silently and not address this glaring disregard for transparency, truth, accuracy in labeling which are all pillars of my career as a blogger and I hold deeply close to my heart. I’ve called numerous companies out for much less than what I’m going to share below.
This is not a company I ever expected to put on my Not Recommended List. But this is an excellent example of how the values, formulas and ethics of an individual can all change overnight. It’s an example of us as consumers needing to keep our eyes wide open at all times. To never become complacent in trusting that a company has OUR best interests in mind. As someone who has dedicated over a decade on educating myself and consumers to read labels and hold companies accountable for discrepancies, this is certainly an easy example of why we need to stay vigilant.
It was recently brought to my attention that Farmacology, a company that formerly offered CBD products made with organic ingredients, advertised it is bringing back products from the past. However, if you look at the ingredients: 1: they are they NOT organic. 2: The post re-introducing a particular product touts it as having 350mg of pure CBD, yet the ingredient label lists hemp extract and no CBD… What?! They are completely different substances. So how is this a bring-back? And how is it okay to use terms such as CBD and hemp interchangeably? It’s not.
Here is a pic of the former product that is allegedly being “brought back”
And with that, my comments were deleted and I was blocked from the page…. Did someone say censorship?
Also, now the site is selling “hemp” gummies.
Several of the personal care products also include “hemp extract”. Not hemp oil, not CBD, but hemp extract. My personal opinion is each & every product is incredibly suspect to not being properly labeled.
Why does this matter? SO many reasons! Hemp oil (and/or extract) and CBD oil are completely different substances:
Hemp oil, also known as hemp seed oil, is extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant. These seeds do not contain cannabinoids like CBD, which means hemp oil does not have the same therapeutic benefits associated with CBD oil. Instead, hemp seed oil is often used for its nutritional value, as it’s rich in omega fatty acids and antioxidants. Source
If you go to the Farmacology website and check the Ingredients tab, you’ll find NO mention of CBD, but there is one for hemp extract. Again, they have very different properties and as a consumer, it should be clear if your $99-$175 for gummies is for CBD, or hemp extract. Additional points of contention:
–There are state and federal regulatory requirements around CBD sales.
–Changing ingredient names at your discretion to get around Facebook censorship is wrong on every level.
–People might have sensitives, allergies, or personal preferences for selecting or avoiding one. We all have the right to know exactly what is in a product.
–Products with conventional ingredients vs organic should cost a lot less.
–Ethically, I just can’t fathom how any company thinks their consumers aren’t going to either notice, or care, about the above issues.
I’ve rarely seen an example of such blatant disregard for honesty, transparency, truth, integrity in my decade plus of label-reading. I’ve filed formal complaints with multiple agencies, and until further action is taken by them (if that even happens), on behalf of consumers I will not be able to sleep at night until I share my opinion on this matter. Reminder that we all vote with our dollars, and we DO have a voice. Asking questions and demanding answers when something is glaringly, obviously wrong, is an easy step we can all take to hold companies accountable for their actions. See something, say something.
To see what companies are out there making great, safe, organic products, see my Approved and So-So lists from the Personal Care tab up above.
*******************************
UPDATE 10/8/25: this response tells me everything I need to know, and sounds very, very similar to the responses I’ve had from other companies who I’ve called out in the past. They all do the same thing: try to shift blame (calling others bullies, etc). Any business owner who responds like this to the above concerns and states they don’t care how it makes them appear is not a business I will ever support, nor encourage others to. Again, we have choices. Our purchases are a vote of confidence and support. I DO care how my choices make me appear. I hope you’ll agree my actions speak as loud as my words. And you have come to count on my words being genuine and honest. That is something I will never compromise.
This brand will remain on my NOT recommended list the actions and responses to genuine concerns have been met with a lack of integrity. That is not something to be overlooked.
I LOVE trying new products with safe ingredients, and I LOOOOOVE even more when they work for me and I can recommend them. Also extra loveable is when they’re made by a small, woman/mama-owned business in my neighboring state of MI (I live in WI). I have worked with Michelle Smith, the fabulous mama behind MamaSuds for over a decade now. I did my initial review of her brand and shared my thoughts way back in 2013, the year I had my daughter who is now 12 (for those mathematically challenged 🙂 Since then we have worked together to offer her products to the buying club that I organized for 10ish years, and she was always fabulous to work with (which isn’t something I can say for each & every vendor unfortunately).
So I’m thrilled to do this review for the newest addition to her line. I’m sure we can all agree that the search for the best possible laundry detergent is never-ending. To me, these are the criteria I’m looking to find: safe ingredients (natural and organic as much as possible), effective formula (it actually works), eco-friendly packaging (no huge plastic jug), and affordable (definition varies individually).
Let’s dig into those criteria one-by-one:
1– Safe ingredients: sodium carbonate (soda ash/washing soda), sodium percarbonate (oxygen powder which is a combo of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide), and sodium olivate (saponified olive oil). 3 ingredients, yes THREE, ingredients! And you’ll see in point 3 below that it actually worked well for me! The main concerns with the above ingredients and the fact that this is a powder is: you don’t want to inhale them. Same with any/all powders. Don’t inhale them. I appreciate that she offers unscented or peppermint (scented with EO). You can do a deeper dive into her ingredients and the ethos behind what she chooses here: https://www.mamasuds.com/pages/ingredients.
2– Effective: Safe ingredients are great, but if they don’t work, they’ll not be a viable option. Michelle kindly sent me 2 bags to try and from the time I started using it until my last scoop I was happy with it! No complaints, it did what it’s supposed to do– how awesome is that?! I only know one other person who has tried it, also named Jessica, here’s what she shared with me: “I’ve tried several other ‘natural’ and ‘safe’ brands that have good ingredients, but I always felt like my laundry wasn’t actually getting clean or came out of the washer/dryer with a smell. Since I’ve been using MamaSuds, my laundry doesn’t smell at all, which is a big win for me, and I feel like the items come out cleaner. I have been really happy with it!” Also, how cool is this: it won the Silver Award from the Mom’s Choice Awards®!
3–Eco-friendly packaging: NO plastic jug, how I loathe those things! It comes in a paper bag. It has a very small footprint. Enough said on that one.
4–Affordability: For a 32 oz bag the cost is $25 or $21.25 if you enroll in subscribe & save (pretty big savings there). Directions state 128 loads for HE (1/2 TBSP) vs 1-2 TBSP for regular. One ounce of powder is equal to 2 TBSP, so that’s 64 scoops (TBSP) per bag. I used 1 scoop per load which so got 64 loads per bag= $.33/load (at subscribe & save price). If you were able to use 1/2 a scoop, the cost would be just $.16/load. If you use 2 scoops, the cost is $.66/load. Shipping is FREE on orders over $75.
Conclusion: I think this is a great option that everyone should try! I have quite a stash of what I had been using previously left. But when that is gone, I do think I’ll switch over to MamaSuds! I hope you’ll give it a try, and check out my review below of other great, safe products Michelle is offering. It sure has been great to watch her line grow at a slow, but steady pace. Keep up the great work Michelle!
**TO PURCHASE: please use my Affiliate link. MamaSuds is in a very small handful of companies I’ve chosen to work with as an Affiliate. That speaks to the trust I have in Michelle and her products: www.mamasuds.com/ecofriendlymama
This summer’s seasonal selections (how’s that for alliteration?!) have been the most popular of the past 3 years offerings. The crew at Poofy has restocked them several times. Many of them sold out during the Labor Day sale, and they considered letting that be the last of them. They decided to restock one last time but when these are sold out, they’re sold out for the season.
The SUPER COOL thing is they’re also offering them at 15% off, until sold out. So you can enjoy them at the same discount as the Labor Day sale!!

Here is a video where I unbox and share my thoughts about several of the products that are on sale!
I went to my bank lock box today to put in my annual letter to my daughter who turned 12 in July and decided it was time to bring everything in there home and organize it. It holds our passports, birth certificates, etc. But it also holds cards, letters and notes to both my kids. I’m not sure when I will give them to them, but I’ve been accumulating them since they were born. My original idea was when they turn 18, but I’m not set on that either.
I journaled extensively throughout my childhood and enjoyed it a lot. However, at the age of 20 the farmhouse I was renting burned to the ground while I was away on a camping trip. I came home to a pile of ashes, and literally the clothes on my back and my camping gear. I learned then what was important, and it’s the stuff that’s irreplaceable. This was before the age of cell phones and a huge digital foot print. These were the days of actual photographs, and hand-written journaling. All that was gone. But I was young, and all the material goods were replaceable. I couldn’t bring myself to start over with journaling though. I’m sure it would be super cringey to read about my life as a middle-schooler now, but oh how fun too!
When I was pregnant with my 1st child, a decade later, I thought it was a great time to start putting words on paper again. So I started writing to my unborn son. And when he was born, I kept writing for a couple more years. I also asked my family to write a birthday card/letter to him for his 1st birthday; with the intention he open it on his 18th birthday possibly? I wasn’t sure my final plan, but I went with it. And we did the same with my daughter. Cards, letters, little notes.
Over the years, the enthusiasm has waned on this project, from everyone but me. I still write to them annually. Generally my goal is to do so on or very near their birthday, but a few years the months got away from me and it was an end of year letter. Kinda’ a year in review journal. I put them in our lock box at the bank, since I know how quickly they could all be gone forever should something happen to our home. My oldest is now 14, and my baby girl just turned 12. All these letters/cards stacked together make quite the impressive stack. And each is a personal note from me or their dad, a grandparent or auntie. I long to know what they say, but it’s none of my business. These are for their eyes only.
To me, these are the greatest types of gifts I can leave my children. They will likely forget every toy, every book, every game I bought them. But these are priceless. Memories. Details of their growth & development. Highlights from our year. Some are hand-written, but not all. I’ve started typing them over the years but always add hand-written notes to each one too. I think about them reading these someday, possibly when I’m gone. And I hope they’re grateful that I took the time to do this. I know I do not regret leaving them these gifts.
No matter how old your kiddos are, I hope you’ll consider doing this. It’s not too late to start! And remember. It’s the little things that really do matter.
Poofy sales are a BIG deal because they only happen 3 times/year. It’s always been this way; it’s something we can count on. They happen at: Earth Day, Labor Day, Black Friday. Sure there’ll be a flash sale on select products or maybe a category, but sitewide sales are rare.

Jess’s top 5 Poofy products– of course this is difficult, and it changes, but here things I use almost daily and cannot imagine my life without:
1: Collagen. I take it every other day, and have for years. It has SO many benefits, and I have a post about them here.
2: Lip Balm. One of those everyday essentials that I just can’t imagine not having Poofy in my life for. I LOVE variety, so have them scattered everywhere. So many great flavors, fabulous organic ingredients, and affordable. This summertime set actually includes several of my favorites and has a bundle discount price too!
3: Lotion. Again, I use it daily and love the variety of scents Poofy offers. Hibiscus Coconut, Eucalyptus Spearmint, Grapefruit Mint are some of my favorites, but honestly I thoroughly enjoy them all.
4: All things Energizing Scent (and I can’t wait for more products to come out, like a lotion hopefully!). If I could only choose one scent, this would be it. *Most* people I’ve heard from who’ve tried it love it as well, but recently I did hear from someone who didn’t (that’s how scents go, very individual). This scent seriously, not lying, brings me happiness every time I use it. My whole family feels the same.
5: So Brilliant Facial Serum– I do love variety, so I do alternate between moisturizers. I use the Flawless Face Pm Cream more in the winter months since it’s a bit thicker. But I find this serum to be perfect all year long. Light enough to use in the morning and evening (as needed). It absorbs well, doesn’t feel greasy, but I swear I feel my skin tighten as it dries. I love it!
***So hard to stop there, but as of now, those would be my top 5 picks of the day 🙂
Okay, I think those are all the must-have details. I’m always here for any questions, product suggestions, or just to chat. Reach out! I hope you had an amazing summer and all is well headed into the fall months.
Oh, and if you’re not subscribed to my blog, please hit that button down below. Then you’ll get an email when I post something new. I plan to work on a lot of reviews this fall/winter, and continue to work on approved/not approved lists! It’s increasingly hard to reach y’all on social outlets, as more of us take breaks (myself included). But I want to stay in touch!
Home-schooling Mama here, but I’m telling you, these adorable products make me want to purchase them nonetheless! The hard-working crew at Poofy Organics has been hard at work behind the scenes creating a fantastic collection of products for our kiddos that are effective, safe, and FUN! What a win-win-win!
FREE Gift: (Pencil case, pencil sharpener, 4 pencils, eraser and a ruler)
LOOK HOW CUTE THIS IS! It is priced at just $30 AND it includes a free gift! If purchased separately, these products would be $36 (not including the price of the free gift).
LOOK AT THESE LIP BALM HOLDERS. Sorry, I know I’m yelling via typing in all caps, but I just think they’re soooooooooooo adorable and worth yelling about 🙂 And they can clip on to a backpack!
The other awesome offering is 3 pk of clip-on hand sanitizers (sold as a pack or separately). They’re $12ea or $33 for the 3 pack. Scents= watermelon lime, mango strawberry, pineapple coconut– YUMMMMMM!!!! These correlate to the summer bath bomb scents recently released. The hand sanitizers are colored to match the scents using all-natural plant extracts such as curcumin, etc.
The ingredients in these are just phenomenal: contains organic cane alcohol, distilled water, organic glycerin (derived from organic sunflower oil, organic flax seed oil, or organic coconut oil), organic aloe, organic saponified oils of coconut, shea butter, olive, sunflower, and jojoba, organic guar gum, organic calendula extract, rosemary extract, natural mica powder, and plant coloring (and then organic flavor extracts and/or essential oils to match scent profile)
I know many of you are waiting until the Labor Day sale to place your next order. But especially for those of you with kiddos going back to school before then, I wanted to remind you that now is a great time to order and use up your Poofy Perks points you have accumulated! Because those do expire, and they cannot be combined with other discounts that involve using a code (like a sale). So now is a great time to order the things you don’t want to wait a month for (post Labor Day), use up your points, and accumulate even more points 🙂
To check your points and possible coupons already earned, click on the rewards icon from the home page, log in, and they’ll see how many points they have and any coupons they’ve earned. Here is an example of what you’ll see. If there is a 1 under the Coupon, click on it for the code, and use it up!
Hello August! Here is WI most of our public schools start right before or after Labor Day. But many parts of the country start much sooner, like next week! As a home-schooling family, this is something that has never been on my radar thankfully. But I know it’s a definite reality for families whose kiddos go to school. I have memories of sitting before the school nurse and getting my hair combed through when I was of that age!
Did you know that Poofy Organics offers a Lice Prevention Shampoo as well as a spray!? The spray also functions as a detangler, so it’s a great combo of products that contain lice repelling essential oils to send your school aged kiddos out the door with confidence that lice are going to choose someone else 🙂 Both products contain awesome, organic & all-natural ingredients. You can even bundle them and save $1 vs purchasing separately, and see my other tips below for saving on all your Poofy purchases!
I’d love to hear from YOU!
Have you ever dealt with lice?
Do you use Poofy’s Lice Prevention products?
What other natural/organic remedies are you aware of to help repel lice?
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!)
–If it’s your 1st ever order, you can use my code for 10% off (can’t be combined with any other codes): ECOFRIENDLYMAMA10
–I offer an ADDITIONAL 10% rebate on your 1st ever order, and 5% on all subsequent orders, all the time! You place your order, and contact me. I’ll send you back 5-10% on your subtotal (pre-tax/shipping) via your choice of Venmo, PayPal, or a Poofy gift card to use on a future order!
–Make sure you’re enrolled in the Poofy Perks loyalty rewards program. You earn a point for every dollar spent, as well as additional points just for signing up. Click this Rewards icon from the home page to enroll:
**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. There are flash sales on select categories throughout the year too. So make sure you’re signed up for the newsletter which means you’ll get email notifications about these sales. Many long-time customers live by these sales to stock up on all their essentials!
I’m not an expert on collagen, but started using it after seeing others share the positive results they were seeing in their skin, nails and hair. At 42 my hair was increasingly getting thinner, so I was curious if collagen would help with that. And after I read all the other benefits it purports I knew it certainly wouldn’t hurt anything!
Some background info: Collagen is a fibrous protein that serves as an important building foundation for skin, tendons, joints, other connective tissues and bones. Additionally, collagen helps keep skin, bones, teeth and blood vessels healthy. Dissolves in hot or cold beverages. Unflavored, grass fed and kosher. Collagen, the production of which declines as we age, adds many benefits to human health including: – Contains short chains of amino acids. – Supporting bone repair – Protection against or delaying symptoms associated with neurological disorders – Repairing leaky gut – Helping balance blood sugar – Preventing joint pain
What else can collagen do?
RICH IN PROTEIN & AMINO ACIDS: Collagen naturally contains 18 essential amino acids and is packed with 7g of protein per serving
LOOK & FEEL YOUNGER: Decrease fine lines and wrinkles while mobilizing joints and cartilage
JOINTS, HAIR, SKIN, NAILS: Collagen proteins are different from other proteins. They’re vital for joint function and flexibility, muscle tone, energy and endurance, nail and hair growth, skin tone, digestion, liver function, wound healing, detoxification, natural sleep and much more!
Collagen has no reported “side effects”. Again, can’t hurt, YAY!!!!
My personal experience is this: As I mentioned above, my hair had really thinned down over the years. This was my 1st update after 4m of mostly daily use (I began in Nov 2021): I feel my nails are healthier, and my hair is growing more quickly and is healthier. I also was having issues with an achy elbow that I was *this* close to going to PT for, as it was nagging me for months, but just when I was about ready to go to the appt, it started feeling better (I had x-rays to rule out serious injury). I can’t be 100% certain this was due to the collagen, it’s correlatory, but it does have really beneficial properties for your joints, etc. And without any other intervention, it’s now healed.
2nd update (May 2022): It has now been 6m since I started almost daily use (I add a 2nd scoop if I have a 2nd cup of coffee or tea in the afternoon, maybe 3x/week) and I really, truly am happy with how thick my hair is. I feel like it has reversed ~5 years of loss/thinning. My nails are strong, my achy elbow has not returned, and I know it’s doing a bunch of good internally that I can’t necessarily measure.
3rd update (August 2025): I’m about to turn 46 in a couple months, I’ve been using this for 5 years now! I can honestly say my hair has never been longer nor healthier. I trim it, and it bounces back immediately. I get compliments on it regularly. I do at least 2 miles per day on my treadmill, and am active outdoors hiking regularly as well. I firmly believe the collagen is helping keep my body strong from the inside. The invisible stuff you don’t see. When I travel I don’t bring it with me, but I’m always happy to return home to it and add it back into my routine. Since it’s not cheap, and my husband and I both feel it’s really important, we generally each use it every other day. We just go through too much if we both use it daily. But I can say for sure, I will not ever be without it!
I add it to my coffee or tea, cannot taste a thing. My Hubby had to do IT work in an ag-processing plant years ago, and is forever scarred of the smell associated with being there. They processed meat, made collagen and a bunch of other stuff. So he’s always had this fear of collagen tasting terrible, like the smell he associates with that place. He was super reluctant, but agreed after 1st try, couldn’t taste a thing. He takes it for the protein and because he’s super actively working out on a regular basis, lifting weights, working on building muscle mass, etc (in addition to his regular active daily stuff). He’s also aware of the need to keep his joints & bones healthy as he ages, and desires the positive gut health properties.
A few recent testimonials from my Poofy by Jess group:
Hope: I started taking it again a couple months ago and feel so much better. Helps with my achy joints (as I’m getting closer to 50).
Kristin: I feel like the collagen has improved my digestion issues so I continue to take it daily. I also figure I can use all the anti-aging properties daily as well! It’s seriously the best one out there!
Shannon: I’ve added it to smoothies for the protein and it doesn’t have any taste or weird texture when added to things which I greatly appreciate.
Julianna: Some people say taking collagen supplements isn’t helpful but I’ve always noticed a huge difference! And I trust poofy to use good ingredients and practices in making it.
Ania: I am starting to love it as well! Using already a month and see a big difference. After giving birth 20 months ago my knees got very weak and many times, once I squat, I can’t stand up without supporting myself somehow. Initially thought it’s a temporary thing, postpartum related, but it become ongoing problem and my knees never really recovered nor got back to normal. Now, there are days that I forget I have knees at all! To be fully transparent I also take minerals from Fulvic & Humic Acid, but on its own they did not do much.
Poofy’s includes the following 5 TYPES OF COLLAGEN: TYPE I: Anti-aging, skin elasticity, glowing skin & hydration, strong & shiny hair & nail growth, healthy digestion & gut health TYPE II: Contains glucosamine & hyaluronic acid for healthy joints & stronger cartilage TYPE III: Aids cardiovascular system & skin health TYPE V: Supports joints & bones and healthy cartilage. TYPE X: helps with new bone formation in cartilage
And while many of us have years of experience trusting Poofy products, you don’t *just* have to take my/their word that it’s the best out there. 3rd party testing is very important, and Poofy shares that info with us here.
Another potential issue is glyphosate (round-up) residue. It sneakily makes its way into SO many products these days. I 1st learned of the potential for collagen to contain glyphosate from a fellow group member who informed me of this: “since glyphosate residue is stored in bones and collagen. That is the reason why I stopped making bone broth.” She asked if Poofy’s had been tested and I was able to provide the fantastic information that it tested ND (Non Detect):
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.

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.

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.
