When it comes to products that I use on my kids, I try and buy as natural as I can get. The problem in many cases is that there’s often a hefty price tag attached and then my credit card bill slaps me in the face. But once in a while, a product comes along that satisfies your safety requirements and is at a price-point you can live with. One of the things I’ve recently switched over to, is shampoo and soap that is AT LEAST paraben and sulfate free. I was recently introduced to a new brand of toxin-free 2-in-1 shampoos and detangler called Fresh Monster and it fits the mold of what I like to use.
Here are the need-to-know facts:
- The founders are two moms who have 15+ years experience working in the personal care industry (Suave Kids and TRESemme)
- The company mission is to “inspire kids to love their individuality from head-to-toe”
- The products contain NO sulfates, paraben, phthalates, dyes or synthetic fragrances
- The fresh scents (that are Fancy Girl approved) are made from all-natural botanical extracts
- The products are also gluten & soy free
And here is our review:
First off – I love the packaging. The name is fun, the design is quirky, and the pump dispenser makes it super easy to use.
Secondly, the product smells great. Fresh Monster comes in Watermelon, Coconut, Ocean Splash and Fragrance Free. In the video below, the girls did a smell test before we used the products. That was fun!
And so how well does it work? Well, I can tell you that since we received the products back in July, it’s the only shampoo the girls use. It’s only our crazy, busy summer schedule that held up this review. We use the 2-in-1 either alone or with the detangler. I was a little worried the first time we used it since their hair felt a little dry after rinsing in the shower. However, even on the days that we don’t finish off with the detangler, their hair is still silky and smooth when it dries. And, it smells good! I have used the products on my own hair and will concur that Fresh Monster is a win in our house!
Fresh Monster is available in A LOT of retailers like Target, Toys ‘R’ Us, Whole Foods, Jet.com and Meijer. You can learn more about Fresh Monster at www.freshmonster.com.
