Creme press recommendations: alternatives to FHI Hot Sauce?

[nubiennze]

I'm planning to flat iron & trim this evening, & I got all excited about the great reviews I came across for FHI Hot Sauce...until I saw it was discontinued.

Is there anything like this (i.e. a water-based silicone moisturizer) with relatively natural ingredients on the market now - preferably available on the ground? I plan to stop by the BSS on my way home, but I'm open to Target, Ulta, Sally, etc.

TIA!

(By the way, I've looked into other popular creme presses - Ultra Sheen, Keracare, Dudley's, etc. - but they all have parabens and/or mineral oil, which I prefer to avoid.)

Have you looked at the ingredients for Keracare Curling Wax, Mizani Iron Curl, or Aveda Brilliant Anti Humectant Pomade.

I'm thinking the Aveda probably will not have parabens or mineral oil, but I'm not sure.

I guess the Keracare wax is out according to this old thread: http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=265059

Mizani cream looks pretty good though:

I find it at my local BSS, but here's a seller on Amazon. A little does go a long way.

Discontinued as in no longer making it anymore or you can't buy anymore? Because I still found quite a few sites still selling it.

I use Nairobi smokeless creme press on my clients. Sickens hair and leaves it smooth without weighing it down.

I'm not sure whether it's still in production or not. Folica's, J.C. Penney's, Sears', etc. websites say it's discontinued, but FHI's own website still has it listed. I did find it on Amazon, though.
