Of all the products that I have "greenified" in my life, for some reason I have yet to find the ULTIMATE GREEN shampoo and conditioner. Until now! Introducing Puracy Natural Shampoo and Natural Conditioner.

Of all the products that I have “greenified” in my life, for some reason I have yet to find the ULTIMATE GREEN and natural shampoo and conditioner.  Until now!  Introducing Puracy Natural Shampoo and Natural Conditioner.  It gives you the volume and shine that you want without the toxic effects of mainstream products!  On top of that, I have also fallen in love with Puracy’s brand NEW! Bug Spray as well as their Organic Hand & Body Lotion and Foaming Hand Soap.  I cannot wait to jump into why I love each and every one of these products! But first…a little about Puracy.

The State of Being Pur(acy)

 

Puracy is a small company based in Austin, Texas.  It was formed on the foundation of creating natural and clean household, baby, and beauty products that are just as safe and effective as they are stylish.  Mainstream household and beauty products can contain harsh chemicals and toxic additives.  Puracy provides an amazing alternative for everything from laundry detergent to organic baby lotion.  The products are created from “proprietary plant and natural mineral-based” ingredients that prove to be just as effective as their toxic competitors.

 

My favorite things about the company:

 

  • Non-toxic, safe for children and pets
  • Environmentally friendly
  • Made in the USA
  • Transparent: They explicitly state where each element used by the company is sourced and located.
  • They give back: For every sale, Puracy donates products to the less fortunate through the Austin’s Children’s Shelter, The Ronald McDonald House, and more.
  • NO sulfates, triclosan, formaldehyde, parabens, phosphates, SLS, SLES, MEA, DEA, TEA, petroleum-based ingredients, animal by-products, chlorine, dyes, or caustics.

First…Natural Shampoo!

 

NEW! Natural Shampoo ($14.99): Oh my goodness…I cannot say enough good things about this gorgeous shampoo!  First of all, the Citrus & Mint smell is amazing!  I should also say that I could not keep this to myself…literally.  I had people try and snatch it from my shower! This shampoo is a sulfate-free, coconut-based cleanser that creates just enough lather that you will never think about L’Oreal shampoos again.  It is filled with gorgeous Vitamin E & B5 as well as Olive Oil-based Squalene to eliminate static and friction (solving one of the biggest problems I encountered once I switched to natural shampoos).  All ingredients are naturally derived, hypoallergenic, non-toxic, vegan, gluten free, AND biodegradable.  After a month of use, my hair feels thicker, silkier, and shinier than it has in a very long time.

Ingredients

Purified Water, Sodium Lauramphoacetate (Coconut Oil-Based Cleanser), Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate (Coconut Oil-Based Cleanser), Coco Glucoside (Coconut-Based Cleanser), Vegetable Glycerin (Plant-Based Skin Softener), Citric Acid (Citrus-Based Preservative), Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate (Biodegradable Water Softener), Glyceryl Oleate (Plant-Based Skin Softener), Panthenyl Hydroxypropyl Steardimonium Chloride (Vitamin B5 Natural Hair Conditioner), Squalene (Olive-Based Hair Conditioner), Hedera Helix (Ivy) Extract, Quillaja Saponaria (Soapbark) Extract, Juglans Nigra (Black Walnut Leaf) Leaf Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Panax Ginseng (Ginseng) Root Extract, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Potassium Sorbate (Natural Preservative), Himalayan Pink Sea Salt, Bergamot Essential Oil, Eucalyptus Essential Oil, Peppermint Essential Oil, Gluconolactone & Sodium Benzoate (Natural Preservatives)

Second…Natural Conditioner!

 

NEW! Natural Conditioner ($14.99): The second partner of this dynamic duo is the conditioner, which is also scented with the lovely Citrus & Mint.  Over a year ago, a dye job left my hair tangled and abrasive to the touch of a brush for the first time in my life.  With the help of this conditioner, my hair is finally tangle-free again.  This thick conditioner is made with soapbark, ivy, black walnut leaf, matricaria, and ginger extracts to put back into your hair the essential nutrients that it has been missing.  The formula is also made with Vitamins E & B5 as well as Olive Oil-based Squalene to eliminate my arch nemesis…static and friction!

Quick note: I apply just a quarter-sized amount (I have long hair) to my palms, rub my hands together, and then apply the conditioner to the ends of my hair.  I leave the conditioner on the ends during my shower and rinse it out right before I get out. Then BOOM! Gorgeousness.

Ingredients

Purified Water, Cetearyl Alcohol (Plant-Based Moisturizer), Behentrimonium Chloride (Plant-Based Detangler), Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride (Plant-Based Detangler), Coco Glucoside (Coconut-Based Cleanser), Glyceryl Oleate (Plant-Based Softener), Panthenyl Hydroxypropyl Steardimonium Chloride (Vitamin B5 Natural Hair Conditioner), Shea Butter, DL-Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), Squalene (Olive-Based Hair Conditioner), Sesame Seed Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Hedera Helix (Ivy) Extract, Quillaja Saponaria (Soapbark) Extract, Juglans Nigra (Black Walnut Leaf) Leaf Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Panax Ginseng (Ginseng) Root Extract, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Glyceryl Monostearate (Plant-Based Softener), Bergamot Essential Oil, Eucalyptus Essential Oil, Peppermint Essential Oil, Gluconolactone & Sodium Benzoate (Natural Preservatives)

 

Next…Organic Hand & Body Lotion!

 

Organic Hand & Body Lotion ($12.99): This lotion is made with glorious organic aloe vera, organic sunflower oil, and organic jojoba oil to rehydrate and renew your hardworking dry hands.  Rough soaps, hard work, and environmental factors can leave your hands crying out for help.  But this lotion is coming to the rescue! The lightweight formula is made of food-grade, plant-based ingredients that are free of harsh chemicals and will leave your skin nourished.  This has become my favorite lotion to have around as it leaves no residual residue and leaves my hands feeling amazing 🙂

Fourthly…Natural Foaming Hand Soap 🙂

 

Natural Foaming Hand Soap ($6.99): This lavender and vanilla hand soap is worth every beautiful penny!  I honestly noticed the difference right away as did anyone that used the soap.  Before Puracy, my hands were often left dry, cracking, and in need of IMMEDIATE help after washing.  However, this hand soap foams, cleanses, and moisturizes all in one! It is made of plants, minerals, water, lavender essential oil, and vanilla absolute. The formula is gentle and effective.  One soap has lasted my household all month.    And since the recent FDA ban on 19 specific toxic ingredients that are found in many mainstream hand soaps, it is all the more important to find a clean soap that works for you and your family.  I HIGHLY recommend this life-changing, natural foaming hand soap.

Ingredients

Purified Water, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate (Coconut Oil-Based Cleanser), Sodium Lauroamphoacetate (Coconut Oil-Based Cleanser), Sodium Lauryl Glucose Carboxylate (Plant-Based Cleanser), Lauryl Glucoside (Coconut-Based Cleanser), Coco-Glucoside (Coconut-Based Cleanser), Glyceryl Oleate (Plant-Based Skin Softener), Vegetable Glycerin (Plant-Based Skin Softener), Lavender Essential Oil, Vanilla Essential Oil, Aloe Vera (Plant-Based Skin Softener), Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Sodium Citrate (Plant-Based pH Adjuster), Citric Acid (Citrus-Based Preservative), Benzisothiazolinone (Biodegradable Preservative)

Last but not least…Natural Bug Spray!

 

NEW! Natural Bug Spray ($9.99): Is it weird to do a double take smelling your bug spray?  Well, I did because this new natural bug spray smells that good.  The natural bug spray is composed of peppermint, geranium, lemongrass, and vanilla to attract you and deter pesky insects.  I used this spray on multiple occasions, testing it on one leg and leaving my other leg as potential mosquito bait.  I am thankful to report that this 100% DEET-free botanical blend works!  The spray leaves no nasty residue and actually left my skin feeling refreshed and moisturized?  Yes, moisturized 🙂  As even more of a plus, this spray smells so good, you’ll be excited to put it on 🙂

Quick note: Shake the spray well then apply to your skin by rubbing it in thoroughly.  If applying near face, rub into hands first and then apply.

Ingredients

ACTIVE: Soybean Oil (90.0%), Geraniol (4.4%), Lemongrass Oil (3.0%), Geranium Oil (1.8%), Peppermint Oil (0.2%), Citronella Oil (0.1%); INERT: Vanillin (0.5%)

Honestly, I was so excited that I not only loved one of the Puracy products but now all five have become favorites of mine in each category!  How many times can you actually say that for any brand?  It’s rare.  Puracy is committed to sourcing quality ingredients and rigorously testing each product’s formula in order to fill your family’s needs in a safe and effective way.  I honestly cannot wait to see what new products I fall in love with next!  If you want to find out more about Puracy, click here.
