GRO-Organic Shampoo And Conditioner Review and Giveaway!



I am a hair fanatic. I love trying new products and seeing how it affects my hair! I also am getting into the green movement like many other people, so I was stoked to try out Gro-Organic's Shampoo and Conditioner
According to their website, Gro-Organic.com , The Essences of the Sea shampoo is a Soft and gentle shampoo that soothes and cleans in one step. As hair ages, it becomes duller and lifeless due to factors such as stress, environmental exposure, and chemical treatments. Essences of the Sea Shampoo is formulated with proteins and amino acids that mimic the “natural moisturizing factor” of healthy skin and hair. Keeps hair hydrated and conditioned and helps infuse hair with those missing links that disappear as we age. Natural algae and citrus help smooth and close the cuticles to lessen damage caused by daily stresses and styling.


The Essences of the Sea conditioner is a double conditioner that adds strength and shine to the hair. As hair ages, it becomes duller and lifeless due to factors such as stress, environmental exposure, and chemical treatments. Essences of the Sea conditioner is formulated with proteins and amino acids that mimic the “natural moisturizing factor” of healthy skin and hair.
These products smell absolutely amazing and it doesn't leave my hair feeling all dry afterwards. I love that its natural so I know good things are going on my hair! I need less styling products afterwards and my hair is soft all day!

Health benefitsThe foods that you and your family eat directly affect your health. A fruit and vegetable home garden provides assurance that your food has been grown and handled without toxic chemical input. When you grow your own organic fruits and vegetables, you'll be making a positive change that can reduce your risk of cancer and other chronic diseases.
Most foods that we have been eating come from farms designed to yield high amounts of fruits and vegetables in a short amount of time. The produce is sprayed with chemicals to prevent damage by insects and the soil is enriched with additives to increase the speed of the growth cycle.
Ingesting these chemicals can create serious health consequences. Over time, repeated consumption can cause toxicity in the bloodstream. This toxicity can result in a variety of chronic diseases including but not limited to cancer.
Foods grown in an organic environment are chemical-free. You never have to worry about the impact of these foods on your health. When you switch to a diet that is rich in organic foods, you are dramatically reducing your risk of ingesting cancer-causing agents. Children, the elderly, and those who have already been touched by disease, can make a positive change by switching to an organic diet.
Environmental benefitsGrowing an organic fruit and vegetable garden also helps the environment. It is one way to limit chemicals from getting into the air, earth, and water. Conventional farming uses more petroleum than any other single industry, consuming 12 percent of America's total energy supply. More energy is used to produce synthetic fertilizers than to till, cultivate, and harvest all the crops in the US.
Organic produce in a grocery store is often 14 days old and has on average traveled 1500 miles, losing nutrition and flavor along the way. Selection is often very limited and freshness is an issue due to the absence of preservatives. A properly maintained home organic garden is convenient, fresh, and nutritious.
