More Great Smelling Hand Disinfectants: Pure Protect, Green Cross, Hygienix Alcohol and Hand Sanitizer Review

And because it's campaign season (in a pandemic), here are more fragrant rubbing alcohols and hand sanitizers you can get your hands on. More, as I posted about three rubbing alcohols that smell like colognes and a body mist last year.

Creamsilk Rich Organic Powerfusion Ultra Conditioners and Hydra Fresh Light Conditioners

These Creamsilk Conditioners are part of the stash from a previous trip to Thirdy's.

Creamsilk Rich Organic Powerfusion Ultra Conditioners (made in the Philippines) claim to have no sulfates, parabens nor phtalates. Sulfate-free hair care products are said to be good for dry and/or color-treated hair. Sulfates remove dirt and oil. Too much can be drying or irritating to sensitive scalp. However, I have checked the ingredients of all the conditions we currently have (Palmolive, Syoss, Dove, other Cream Silk conditioners) and I haven't come across one that has sls/sles. Methosulfates in Syoss and Palmolive Expertique are actually antistatic ingredients.

Creamsilk Rich Organic Powerfusion Ultra Conditioners

With  Creamsilk Rich Organic Powerfusion Rich Lustre for Lifeless and Brittle Hair with almond nut balm and essences of aloe, bamboo and cassia leaves, I need less product to detangle my shoulder blade length rebonded hair than other conditioners. Matipid sya. However, I've noticed that after a day, it weighs my hair down. Another downside is when I use this for a month, every other day, I see a lot of strands on my drain. So I'd give this a rest and use other conditioners, particularly Creamsilk Hydra Fresh.

Creamsilk Rich Organic Powerfusion Ultra Conditioners

Creamsilk Rich Organic Powerfusion Rich Moisture Ultra Conditioner for Dry and Coarse Hair with Shea balm and essences of honeysuckle, hibiscus and gallica and damascene roses smells like Del Fabric Softener Forever Love which is jasmine-tempered non-gourmand vanilla. The effect is similar to when I use VCO on my hair, silky smooth strands. I use a tiny bit more of this than the other Creamsilk Ultra Conditioner. 

Both of the above have coconut oil (not surprised with Rich Moisture then) and even Rich Lustre has shea butter. They're my current favourite conditioners as they make my rebonded hair look really, really good. No strays or flyaways.

Creamsilk Hydra Fresh Light Conditioners

Creamsilk Hydra Fresh Light Conditioners are water-based, easy-rinse and non-greasy. The Fresh and Hydrated for Oily and Greasy Hair variant is like the  Creamsilk Ultimate Reborn Conditioners in terms of performance (hello soft, easily detangled hair) except it's very light that I feel like I need to use more for my hair, the opposite of the Rich Organic Power Fusion Ultra Conditioners. It has a sweet fruity fragrance.

All of these conditioners have dimethicone and sunflower seed oil.

Another Creamsilk conditioner that's really, really good is the Triple Keratin Rescue Conditioners. But that's for another post since this is already quite lengthy.
