So since everyone kept raving about Hello Curly I wanted to buy some, but it's sold out. I did some research and found most of the ingredients online. Here are the ingredients.
Organic Aloe Vera Juice, Aqueous-Infused Extracts of Marshmallow, Chamomile, Nettle, Horsetail, Vitamin E, Agave Nectar Extract, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate and Natural Fragrance.
All the ingredients cost me about $60 including shipping. I dont know the exact ratios but I'm gonna play around with them and see what gives the best definition/moisture. I'm assuming its about 90% Aloe vera juice, 2% marshmallow extract, 2% chamomile extract, 2% nettle extract, 2% horsetail extract , 0.5% vitamin E extract, 0.5% agave nectar extract, 0.1% citric acid, 0.5% potassium sorbate, and fragrance.
all of the extracts are pretty expensive ($12 for 1 oz.) so im pretty sure they don't use that much of them in a batch of gel otherwise they would be losing profit. Aloe vera juice is pretty cheap. Potassium sorbate is just a preservative.
What's interesting I found is that the ingredients are almost exactly the same as KCCC
Ingredients: botanical infusion of water, horsetail, chamomile, nettle and marshmallow, organic aloe vera juice, agave nectar extract, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin e), pectic, citric acid, potassium sorbate and natural fragrance
Both formulas use horsetail, chamomile, nettle and marshmallow, agave nectar, aloe vera juice and vitamin E. They are pretty much the same ingredients. I'm hoping I can mix something that will do the job.
If anyone has any experience with making products, or any advice please let me know!
