i know that Biotera products are CG-friendly, but what about the Biotera Hypoallergenic line? I see that the hypoallergenic gel lists phenoxyethanol as the last ingredient. It seems that it is used as a preservative in hair products. It is composed of glycol ether, phenol ether, and an aromatic alcohol.
Does anyone know if this line of products is CG-friendly with this ingredient?
Thanks!

Phenoxyethanol itself is not against the CG rules, as far as I know. I don't hear people in the CG community talking much about Biotera. I'm guessing some of their products might be CG friendly, but most won't be. You'll have to read the ingredients of each one to be sure. In fact, its a good idea to read the ingredients of ALL products in all lines to be sure. Even in the Deva line, which started the whole CG thing, there are a couple that are not strictly CG.

The hairspray has drying alcohols, and one of their deep conditioners (Melt into Moisture?) has wax. Once Lorraine Massey left the company, they started veering away from her philosophy. That's why so many new products and lines are coming out from them.WavyKfromNJ said:
