WHAT IS IT: Ecklonia Radiata Extract is Australian Sea Kelp, a highly prized seaweed often used in hair care products. It has a score of 0 (the lower the better) at EWG.com. Its also NOT found on GoodGuide's lists of toxic chemicals.
I just received the Ajia Destiny Shea Butter Sealant from author Marcia Shannon, who is also the HMIC (Head Mixtress In Charge) at DezMar-Ink Enterprises.
DezMar-Ink Enterprise (DMIE) is, of course, a natural hair care line which creates products from natural ingredients like organic shea butter, Jamaican Black Castor oil and Organic Olive oil. Check out their website for further information.
I usually save the type of specificity for direct communications with paying Subscription members. But people do need basic information on how to best determine the amounts of each ingredient they want to use in their DIY mixes.
I'll give you some basic information on how to determine the best way to figure out the percentages of ingredients to use.
First, though, I have to say this: ingredients like Citric Acid, Grapefruit Seed oil, Rosemary Essential oil, and Vitamin E ARE NOT preservatives!!!
