Review (5/5): Great conditioner, poor instructions messaging
First of all, this is a great conditioner, you’ll enjoy using it. But I really think Ethique is shooting themselves in the foot with the instructions. The package instructions claim you can just dissolve it in hot water, but the reality is that you NEED to whisk it at boiling for a minute for the mixture to really incorporate. It’s an emulsion, for heck’s sake. Anyone who knows even a little about cosmetic chemistry understands this, and that’s gotta be 97% of Ethique’s customer base. Just plan on having to use a small non reactive pot and a whisk, and you’ll be 100% satisfied.
TIP: the Aussie brand 3 minute miracle bottle is the perfect bottle to reuse for this conditioner - exactly the right size, very reusable bottle design, and with an upside-down spout design that lends itself well to the thickness of this conditioner once it’s made.
