Design Essentials Natural *new line*

[Meritamen]

Has anyone heard anything about this line? I think it just launched yesterday. I'm curious about the ingredients lists and the price.
The line includes the Natural Curl Cleanser, Moisturizing Conditioner, Curl Stretching Cream, Defining Cream Gel and Daily Moisturizing Lotion.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

No, I haven't heard about it, but I am excited! I am still using DE products as I transition.

Well I still haven't found a full ingredient list for any of the products from the new line but the official website says that the line is silicone, paraben, paraffin, petrolatum, fragrance, and mineral oil free. Sounds good... isn't petrolatum and mineral oil the same thing or is one derived from the other or the same source?

Mineral oil is listed as an ingredient in the Defining Creme Gel

Mmmm... interesting. I wonder what other surprises are on the full ingredient lists.

I try to avoid mineral oil since I use coconut oil (which I feel has more benefits.) My concern with things like mineral oil is that the Natural line only has a co-wash shampoo. I don't know if a sulfate-free shampoo is going to be effective at removing ingredients like that from my hair, and I can't use sulfate shampoos because they dry my skin out so badly that I itch for days afterward.

I LOVED DE during my transition! The Stimulations Conditioner is Da Truth! I looked at all of the ingredients and didn't see mineral oil. I may try this!
