Our Ingredients
Six-free is our ingredient methodology that describes our commitment to avoiding the following 6 controversial, and potentially
harmful, ingredients in all of our products: sulfates, parabens, phthalates, silicones, DEA, and synthetic dyes.
What preservatives are in Briogeo products?
We use Ecocert preservatives, such as dehydroacetic acid and benzyl alcohol, to maintain the performance, quality, and freshness
of our formulas. We refrain from using paraben preservatives in any of our products. Parabens have been linked to health concerns
such as reproductive and developmental toxicity. Given Briogeo refrains from using potentially harmful preservatives or chemical
stabilizers, the color or scent of our products may change over time and this is completely normal due to the nature of the essential
oils and natural extracts we use in our formulas.
So why are parabens, sulfates, silicones, phthalates, dea, or synthetic dyes so controversial, anyway?
Sulfates: Harsh, synthetic surfactants used to dissolve dirt and oil
–Concerns: Can cause scalp irritation, follicle inflammation, and cause hair to become dry and dull
Silicones: Lightweight, synthetic, petroleum-derived polymers that coat the hair cuticle to lock out frizz and enhance shine
–Concerns: Excessive build up and "clogging" of the hair cuticle that prevents hair from absorbing nutrient-rich ingredients
Phthalates: Chemicals used to stabilize synthetic fragrances
–Concerns: Potential reproductive and developmental toxicity
Parabens: Synthetic preservatives meant to inhibit bacteria growth and extend the shelf life of products
–Concerns: Scientific studies that may indicate a link between paraben ingestion and certain types of cancers
Artificial Dyes: Synthetic agents used to cosmetically tint products
–Concerns: Can cause scalp irritation and can be problematic for those with allergies or sensitive skin and eyes.
DEA: A foaming and product thickening agent
–Concerns: Linked to allergies, skin toxicity, hormone disruption, and inhibited fetal brain development
Are your products organic?
Several of our product contain organic ingredients, however, none of our products are certified organic.
I see that Briogeo products are 90-100% natural. Why aren't they all 100% natural?
Briogeo uses many ingredients that are certified organic, natural, or naturally derived, and we use some (safe!) synthetic ingredients,
too. We aim to use the highest amount of naturally-derived ingredients in every product, as possible, without sacrificing product
performance. However, there are some non-natural ingredients we use in our products to ensure shelf life, product efficacy, and
product stability. The small % of non-natural ingredients we use are deemed safe and non-toxic by the Environmental Working
Group (EWG) and are only used to ensure the utmost product quality and performance.
Are your products nut-free?
Some of our products do contain nut oils such as argan, shea, coconut and almond oils. Some products do not contain any nut oils,
however, we cannot guarantee that our products were made in a nut-free facility. As always, we encourage customers who have
extreme allergies to consult a doctor or conduct a patch test before using any product.
I've seen certain alcohols listed on Briogeo hair care products. why do you use alcohols in your products and will they dry out my hair?
Brassica Alcohol (Brassica Oil Derived) and Cetyl Alcohol (Vegetable Derived) are fatty alcohols found in plant cells that do not
behave like other alcohols, such as ethanol or propanol. These alcohols are not drying; they condition & soften the hair and
increases manageability. Alcohol Denat. (grain derived) is a natural alcohol that is used in our Blossom & Bloom Ginseng + Biotin
Volumizing Spray to absorb excess oil in the hair to give the roots lift and volume. Benzyl Alcohol is an ECOCERT preservative
used to maintain the shelf life and integrity of our products.
Which products are vegan and which ones are gluten free?
All of Briogeo's products are gluten-free and vegan except for our limited-edition Honey Moisture Deep Conditioning Mask which is
Gluten-free but non-vegan.
Our Products
We never, ever test our products on animals. We love our furry friends!
Our Products Does Briogeo test its products on animals?
Our products have a shelf life of 3 years (36 months) unopened.
What is the shelf life of Briogeo products?
It seems counter-intuitive, but some proteins load up the hair cuticle and can lead to brittle, dry-feeling hair. But protein itself does not
dry out hair; rather, when it seals the cuticle, it can intensify the dry feeling of already dry or damaged hair. Therefore, it's important to
combine proteins with moisturizing ingredients, which Briogeo does in all of its formulas. We use balanced levels of proteins plus
moisturizers to gently refresh and coat the hair cuticle, adding back shine and strength to stressed hair.
Will the protein content in your conditioning and repair products dry out my hair?
Not necessarily. The most important measures for color-treated hair are preventing fading and dryness. Both of these objectives can
be met by using sulfate-free products, and products containing proteins in conjunction with catalyst moisturizers. Good news - all Briogeo products fit the bill!
If I color my hair, shouldn't I use a "for color-treated hair" shampoo & conditioner?
Absolutely! Different hair types have different needs and each of our collections can be mixed and matched. For example, someone
with fine, curly hair may want to use our Blossom & Bloom Ginseng + Biotin Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner and finish with our
Curl Charisma Rice Amino + Avocado Leave-In Creme. If you're unsure which products are right for you, take our quiz here.
Can I mix and match Briogeo products?
Our product assortment focuses on repair, moisture, volume, and curl care. We offer a diverse selection of products that are intended
to respond to the needs of those with thin/fine, wavy, curly, damaged, dry, chemically and/ color treated hair.
What hair types is Briogeo meant for?
Yes. However, those with very fine hair should avoid applying the mask at the roots and instead focus on the mid-length to ends of
the hair and ensure the product is rinsed from the hair very thoroughly.
I have African-American hair texture that is curly, kinky, or coarse. will Briogeo products work for my hair?
Feedback from our customers suggests that our Curl Charisma collection resonates best with 2A to 3C curls. For Type 4 Coily Hair,
we recommend our moisture intense Rosarco and Don't Despair, Repair! collections and our Be Gentle Be Kind Avocado + Quinoa
Co-Wash.
What curl types is the curl charisma collection best for?
Yes. However, those with very fine hair should avoid applying the mask at the roots and instead focus on the mid-length to ends of
the hair and ensure the product is rinsed from the hair very thoroughly.ble for fine/thin hair?
