      Box
      Scent: Baobab & Rosehip, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
      The I absolutely love the shampoo. I have to say that the packaging is super inconvenient. It’s very easy for me to overuse it in the shower and the consistency of the shampoo makes it stick together so it’s not like I can use a drop size come out in clumps.

      A very mild shampoo
      Scent: Baobab & Rosehip, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
      It’s like a watery jelly. It got my scalp and hair clean. It is such a mild shampoo that infuses moisture as well. The smell is light and divine of rosehips. I bought this to replace another brand (SM), and I have no regrets! I can’t wait to try some of their other products. Edited: A year later and Babo has blocked Canadians from ordering their products from Amazon! Such a shame as their products are wonderful. Just use a third party from the USA that will ship out to Canada.

      Not for me
      Scent: Baobab & Rosehip, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
      I appreciate what they are trying to do with the carton however, it’s more splash proof than water proof. The smell is off for me as well. I really wanted to love this product because I love the company but this one is a miss for me.

      Great moisturizing shampoo for damaged hair
      Scent: Baobab & Rosehip, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
      It is a good non toxic shampoo and conditioner, but be cautious it's very moisturizing and not good for oily hair. It works best for dry and damaged hair. A little goes a long way, so don't over shampoo. To my surprise..the container won't get soggy in the shower!
