This lightweight conditioner is designed for normal hair and everyday use, using a plant-based formula built around oils, botanical extracts, and simple conditioning agents rather than heavy synthetic coatings. It helps detangle, soften, and add natural shine while keeping hair feeling light, flexible, and refreshed.

What I Like

• EWG rating: 2, placing this formula in a low-hazard range when the ingredient list is entered into the EWG Skin Deep Analyzer.
• Uses plant-derived oils like olive, linseed, pumpkin seed, and avocado instead of silicone-based conditioners.
• Lightweight feel that doesn’t coat or weigh hair down, making it easy to use regularly.
• Tangerine oil gives a fresh, clean scent without artificial fragrance blends.
• Simple formula that aligns well with a low-tox, scalp-conscious routine.

Things to Keep in Mind

• This is a “daily light” conditioner, so very dry, coarse, chemically treated, or highly textured hair types may need a richer conditioner or an occasional deep treatment.
• Citrus essential oil is used for scent. While it’s present at low levels, those with fragrance sensitivities may want to patch test.

Sensitive Skin & Pregnancy Considerations

This formula is generally considered low risk for topical cosmetic use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It does contain tangerine essential oil, which may be irritating for individuals with fragrance sensitivity, eczema-prone scalps, or reactive skin. Patch testing is recommended for sensitive or compromised skin.

Essential oil transparency note: essential oils can carry trace contaminants depending on sourcing and processing. Feather & Nest prioritizes brands that test for purity and minimize contaminants whenever possible.
