Tresemme Botanique Nourish & Replenish Conditioner Review

I had heard about the Tresemme Botanique Nourish & Replenish Conditioner from many US and UK curlies. I saw it on Amazon India one day and decided to give it a try. And as always, drugstore price outside India becomes Luxury price by the time it reaches India with al the shipping as tax 😛

Description by Tresemme: Coconut conditioner to moisturise dry and damaged hair

Price: Around INR 1500 for a huge family sized bottle of 750ml. You can buy it here (India) or here (US) -#CommissionsEarned

Ingredient Analysis:

This is for the US version. The same product available in India has silicones

• Water
• Cetearyl Alcohol – Emollient (Fatty Good Alcohol) : It softens hair
• Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine – Cationic Surfactant : They smooth the cuticle and soften hair
• Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil – Science of Coconut oil on hair
• Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice – 3 Benefits of Aloe Vera gel for Curly hair + 4 Ways to apply
• Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract
• Fragrance (Parfum)
• Behentrimonium Chloride – Cationic Surfactant : They smooth the cuticle and soften hair

Ingredients after the first 5 to 8 ingredients are in negligible amounts and can be ignored if you are not trying to avoid any ingredient in particular – Read the Ingredients List, Not the Product Claims

I love the ingredients list! It’s hand in hand with the ingredients that make a good conditioner – Ingredients to Look for in a Conditioner

CG Friendly: Yes (This is for the US version. The same product available in India has silicones)
Texture: The conditioner is a creamy product with amazing slip and detangling ability.
Smell: I absolutely love the tropical fruity smell.

Performance:

Here’s how I apply conditioners – How to wash & condition curly hair and here is a post with my full curly hair care routine – My curly hair routine.

+ It has amazing slip and makes detangling very easy
+ Provides good hydration to curls
– I have no negatives to say about this product (except perhaps ask Tresemme why they add silicones to the version available in Indian shops)

In short: I absolutely love this conditioner – it is a good hydrating silicone free conditioner. I would easily but it any day. Here’s a List of Silicone free conditioners in India (with reviews/purchase links)
