Basd Repair & Hydrate Conditioner Sulphate & Paraben Free - Sage & Eucalyptus (240 mL)

Basd Repair & Hydrate Conditioner in Sage & Eucalyptus is a rinse-out conditioner in a 240 mL tube, free of sulphates and parabens. Hemp seed oil comes second on the ingredient list, right after water, and coconut oil, aloe juice and a run of amino acids follow. It is the partner to the Repair & Hydrate Shampoo and shares its herbal scent.

What is in it

The oils are cannabis sativa (hemp) seed oil and cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, with coco caprylate as a light, silky emollient. Distearyldimonium chloride and guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride are the conditioning agents that let a comb glide through, and cetyl and stearyl alcohols (fatty alcohols, not drying ones) give the cream its body.

The label lists eleven amino acids, including arginine, aspartic acid, alanine, serine, valine and proline, plus pea peptide, sodium PCA and sodium lactate. Aloe leaf juice, chamomile flower extract, panthenol and vitamin E (tocopherol) are also in it, and lactobacillus ferment is part of the preservative system. The fragrance is essential oils and naturally derived scent. Basd says it is safe on coloured hair.

Scent and feel

The cream is thick enough to sit in your palm without running. Sage and eucalyptus give it a fresh, green smell that lingers lightly after rinsing. A little goes a long way on short hair; long hair takes about twice as much.

How to use it

After shampooing, squeeze out a small amount and work it through wet hair from roots to ends. Leave it on for a minute or two, then rinse well. Keep it out of your eyes.

Who it suits

It suits adults who use the Repair & Hydrate Shampoo and want the matching step, and anyone after a paraben-free conditioner with plant oils and a herbal scent. Basd lists it as safe for coloured hair. Check the list if you avoid coconut, since coconut oil and coconut-derived ingredients are in it.

How it compares

Next to the shampoo, the conditioner has more oils and adds the amino acids, pea peptide and guar. It has no foaming cleansers. Both come in the same 240 mL tube and sage and eucalyptus scent, so they line up on a shelf as a set.
