do. Active Products - Product Review

do. ACTIVE PRODUCTS

Using gentle botanical ingredients, do. Active Products includes a full line of 100% vegan shampoos, conditioners and facial products as well as paraben-free styling products, all specially formulated to restore and protect the hair and skin’s natural pH moisture balance. do. Active Products were designed in collaboration by professional stylists and certified fitness trainers for those clients who center their lives around health, wellness and beauty.

Product Overview: I like that the products address the effects of sweating/oil (sebum) production due to physical activity. I tend to work up a sweat (especially in the summertime) while working 'behind the chair' and with just going about my day-to-day activities. Therefore, I tend to shower more, needing a product that will restore and protect my hair and skin's natural pH moisture balance.
These products are designed with an active lifestyle, in mind. But, believe me...you don't need to be 'active' to use and enjoy these products!
