Which products are silicone-free?Updated a year ago

ALL The Rootist products are formulated without silicones. Why? Silicones are pervasive in conventional hair formulas because they offer a temporary fix, like a coating of plastic vinyl over a surface. That's not our goal. We formulate for the biology and holistic health of the roots, scalp and hair. Also, silicones are not biodegradable. They wash down into our drains and into the oceans. Research has shown some silicones break down to their basic components in the environment relatively quickly. Other research has shown they accumulate over time, but we don’t know for certain what risk, if any, such an accumulation presents, so we choose to formula without them.
