Nautica Conditioner Base - COSMOS Organic is a fully formulated hair conditioner base made with gentle, organically derived ingredients and designed to be used as is or customised to suit your own formula style. It offers a creamy, ready-to-use starting point for DIY hair care, which makes it especially useful if you want to personalise a conditioner without building one from scratch. Because the base is already complete, it can be adapted with suitable essential oils, carrier oils, and compatible actives depending on your formulation goals. This is a practical choice for both beginners and more experienced makers who want a reliable conditioner foundation.
♡ Why we love it: A good base takes a lot of the hard work out of formulation, and this one gives you a clean, creamy starting point without feeling limiting. It is especially handy when you want room to customise while still working from a stable, easy-to-use foundation.

For Your Safety
This natural product is for external use only. Please exercise caution and do not ingest or take internally. Store away from children, animals, sunlight and heat. If pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult with your medical care-giver before use.

A very versatile conditioner. I could add my own key ingredients resulting in a perfect texture, viscosity and balance for the conditioner I had envisioned. A little goes a long way.
Not happy with this product as is. My hair ended up in a total knot ball after using it. I have now added some hydra hair to it but I still need to use a commercial conditioner with it. Disappointing.
After going from commercial products to cleaner products, my hair has yet to adapt. I am however hopeful and will continue to experiment to get the formula right for my hair type.
