    Hi,

    Not a specialist, so my only comment is on the moringa and cucumber extracts: I’m pretty sure they don’t make a difference in your product (except for the increase in costs, and “bug”-food) so I’d lower them to 0.05-0.1%, just for claims.

    If you want a very light conditioning product, then that’s ok. You don’t have enolients though, so combing won’t be as easy, especially when hair is wet.
