The Body Shop Banana Shampoo Review

After reading rave reviews and people going bananas over The body shop banana shampoo i wanted try this one..more so,as i found that this would be a safer option as it is mentioned for all hair types..So,here's my take on the product...

Price-515 INR for 250ml


Packaging- transparent,small but sturdy bottle with a flip-flop cap



TBS says--Community Trade banana puree from Ecuador - nourishes and condition the hair


We source our banana puree from El Guabo in Ecuador, an association of small-scale banana producers. El Guabo Association now represents farmers from fifteen different communities and exports around 30,000 boxes of bananas a week to Europe and the USA. The Association has eliminated its dependency on local intermediaries by establishing its own export department and a process to monitor production from farm to port.
