Unboxing Beauty

The other month, Sanzi Performance Organics reached out to me to see if I would be interested in trying their hair care products.  I reviewed their website and I really liked what I saw, so I accepted to try out their Organic Moisture Shampoo and Organic Color-True Conditioner, which are their only products at this time.  They are planning to roll out more items in the near future.

Sanzi Performance Organics is an exclusive line of hair care products that are created by award winning master stylist, Robert Sanzi.   This company is family owned, circa 2008 when Robin Sanzi encouraged her husband, Robert, to create a color-safe, sulfate, chemical free hair care line.  The original shampoo was an instant hit and he has gone on to create a conditioner as well.   Sanzi Performance Organics uses products that are organic and healthy, non-toxic and keeps our Earth clean and safe.  All of Sanzi Hair Care products are 100% vegan, cruelty free, not tested on animals and are biodegradable.  They are free from sulfates,  gluten, parabens, phthalate, BHT, and artificial colors.  

Organic Moisture Shampoo  Their Moisture Care Shampoo uses sulfate free blend of surfactants, called Iselux®, which creates a  dense, luxurious foam, while gently cleansing and rinsing clean.  It also helps prevent fading if you color your hair ~ 90% plus color retention after 1 month.  They also contain natural fruit extracts which form AHA’s to help cleanse your scalp and unclog hair follicles, allowing for greater hair growth and adding shine to to your hair ~ this multi-fruit acid BSC complex is a blend of bilberry, sugars and citrus fruit extracts. It also contains a slew of amino acids (Arginine, Glycine, Sodium PCA, Alanine, Serine, Valine, Proline, Threonine, Isoleucine, Histidine, Phenylalanine) that have been combined into a formula called Prodew ®500.  This amino acid blend complex will help strengthen, repair and moisturize your hair, while providing color protection. 

This is 72% organic shampoo also contains organic aloe vera leaf juice for optimal hydration.  Several ingredients in this product are 100% certified organic  ~ sugar cane, coconut oil and vitamin E.   I was really impressed by the foam and lather from this shampoo ~ for a sulfate free shampoo, it certainly didn’t act like it!  I also love the scent ~ it is like having a fresh citrus and berry bowl and just smells divine.  The scent is an exclusive formula, made from botanicals and is safe for all hair types ~ this can also be used as a body wash too.  Even though its name does not mention that it is color-safe, it is.  I did a pH test on this as the claims are 4.5 to 5.5 and I got a 5.6, which is within range  ~ I always give a .1 or .2 variation. 

Ingredients:  Water,  Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Cocamide MEA, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Glycol Stearate, Polyquaternium-7, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil,  Fragrance, ,Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Acer Saccharum (Sugar Maple) Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Sodium PCA, Sodium Lactate, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, PCA, Glycine, Alanine, Serine, Valine, Proline, Threonine, Isoleucine, Histidine, Phenylalanine, Tocopheryl Acetate, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Magnesium Chloride, Magnesium Nitrate, Disodium EDTA cosDNA analysis

Organic Color-True Conditioner  This conditioner doesn’t have a lot of ingredients, but what it is has are very hydrating and moisturizing ingredients. I was really shocked how well this conditioned and detangled my fine hair, but I would think this would not be enough for those with really thicker coarse hair.  Once again, this has the lovely citrus fusion scent and if you want to really have a deep conditioning hair treatment, leave on your hair for 20 minutes before rinsing out.  This is also 100% vegan and 72% organic with organic aloe vera leaf juice as one of its top star ingredients. Aloe Vera is a powerful moisturizer that doesn’t leave an oily or greasy residue. It has a plethora of antioxidants ~ beta-carotene, Vitamin C and Vitamin E and also contains over 75 different nutritious ingredients, including minerals, enzymes, amino acids, salicylic acid and much more.  This is supposed to be a pH level of 4, and I tested it at 3.9

Performance

conditioner on the left, shampoo on the right

I already spoke to the cleansing and conditioning performance on each product, so now I will speak to the color-safe performance.  I have lots of baby fine, oily straight hair that grows VERY fast and is graying even faster.  I color my hair monthly and touch up my roots during the month, as I am very silver around my temples.  I shampoo and condition daily along with blow drying my hair.  I do not use any other chemical or heat treatments.  Since my hair grows so fast, I normally do not use a color safe hair care product as I thought they were a waste of time.  I put Sanzi products to the test.  On November 20, 2017, I colored my hair.  The color I use has a lot of reddish tones in it, and red colors do fade very fast.

On December 8, 2017, other than my hair growth, I honestly did not see any major fading at all.  This is  19 days, almost 3 weeks since my hair coloring.  I am VERY impressed with these hair care products ~ they cannot stop my fast hair growth, but Sanzi hair care products did prevent fading.  I did not have to use a root touch up product!  My hair does look fuller on the December 8th photo, but that is because the November 20th photo is right after coloring my hair ~ and I had let my hair air dry ~ now you know why I blow dry my hair all the time 😉  Many thanks to Robert at Sanzi for sending me these products to try out!
