Clean-feeling styling lotion for hold, texture, shine, and smoothness / 8.5 oz full size

This was actually the first product the EVOLVh team created, and it’s a great example of the versatility of the brand’s products. This styling lotion can be used to blow-dry hair straight with lots of fullness and volume; it can also be used to style waves and curls, whether air-dried or diffused.  It leaves hair feeling product-free and weightless, and thanks to EVOLVh’s blend of herbs along with marigold and chamomile, it smells lovely. Not product-y, just lovely.
Please see detailed usage instructions below, as this product can be used for a variety of purposes.
Like all EVOLVh formulas, it's perfectly safe (and beneficial) for color-treated hair.

Healthy beauty that works. Personalized guidance that's unparalleled.

Plastic-free, 100% biodegradable hair ties made with organic cotton / 5 hair ties per pack
Kooshoo's Organic Cotton Hair Ties are plastic-free and 100% biodegradable, which, quite frankly, hadn't really occurred to us as a hair tie possibility until we heard of them. (They are, in fact, the only organic cotton and plastic-free hair ties in the world.) But now that we know it's possible, and we're convinced of the importance of minimizing plastics in clothing — and the hair ties that get stuck in pockets, then washed — we’re hooked.
But the best part is that these creaseless hair ties just happen to be the best ones we’ve ever used on hair that’s long, thick, or both. Their grippiness is unrivaled, so they won’t slide off, making them the perfect things not only to hold hair in place during a vigorous workout but also to secure that slippery, shiny hair that many kids have. (Oh, to have that beautiful, untouched-by-age-and-chemicals hair again!) And they look a lot nicer stored on your wrist than anything you might pick up at the drugstore.
Once you try Kooshoo’s hair ties, you can’t go back. Apologies in advance for spoiling you forever.

Lightweight but powerfully frizz-fighting spray for unruly hair / 3.38 oz
Biofficina Toscana’s Anti-Frizz Lotion is one of those products that will throw us into a panic if we find ourselves running out. If your hair is unruly and frizz-prone, yet tends to get weighed down by most anti-frizz products, you’ll feel the same way.
Quite honestly, when we first tried it, our expectations were low (“How could something this lightweight actually work?”); to say we were pleasantly surprised would be a huge understatement. It conditions and seriously cuts frizz with a masterful blend of glycerin, local organic honey, organic jojoba oil, and a biodegradable, plant-based smoothing ingredient that’s also part of the magic behind Biofficina Toscana’s fabulous conditioners.
And organic Tuscan botanical extracts soften hair and help it retain its natural body — so this Anti-Frizz Lotion wowed all of our testers, from the straight-haired to the curly-haired. Due to its lightweight nature, it can either be combed through straight hair or scrunched into curls and waves for a soft, shiny, air-dried style.
Another plus: it protects hair from external damage with potent antioxidants in Uviox® and Oleox®, two of Biofficina Toscana’s favorite ingredients that are made from red grape skins and olives. The Biofficina Toscana team told us that it’s a fixture in their beach bags. (Can we get invited to one of these Tuscan beach mini-breaks?)
Oh, and its fruity, honey-like scent is heavenly.

Fluoride-free, wild mint flavored mineral toothpaste / 4 oz
RiseWell Mineral Toothpaste is one of those products that feels as though it was conjured in a dream — but it's real, and we're delighted by that.
First of all, the RiseWell team has assiduously avoided harsh foaming agents, sulfates, and other ingredients often found in traditional toothpaste. But unlike the other "natural" toothpastes on the market that we've tried (trust us; we've tried a lot), it leaves your mouth feeling decidedly clean and your breath perfectly fresh.
What really got us excited about this formula, though, was something called hydroxyapatite, the mineral that makes up 97% of our teeth and bones. Instead of using fluoride, the cavity fighter that's in many toothpaste formulas but that isn't something you necessarily want in your body, RiseWell Mineral Toothpaste uses hydroxyapatite to safely build and protect the enamel in your teeth, which has a variety of benefits: it fights plaque, it can keep cavities at bay, and it whitens without stripping the enamel on your teeth. The added bonus? It's so healthy that you can even eat it. (But please don't. There are so many other good things to eat that are actual food. This just means that you don't need to rinse and spit as you normally would.)
We have never been this excited about a toothpaste, and our whole team is addicted to RiseWell. We think you'll hear a lot more about hydroxyapatite in the coming years. Until then, know that hydroxyapatite is even endorsed by the likes of Colgate.

Sheer tinted balm for lips and face with a beautifully flattering, naturally dewy finish / 0.35 oz
Olio E Osso’s Tinted Balms have a major cult following among celebrities and pro athletes alike. They appeal to just about everyone because a) they're adorable, b) they're extraordinarily portable and easy to use, c) they leave you looking like the freshest, brightest, prettiest version of yourself — not like someone who's wearing makeup. They give lips and cheeks a sheer wash of color that moisturizes and nourishes, leaving behind a dewy glow.
In addition to color, these super hydrating, lightly grapefruit-scented balms contain just four carefully chosen ingredients — organic olive oil, shea oil, beeswax, and grapefruit essential oil — that condition lips and highlight cheekbones perfectly. They were created by a makeup artist, Paola LaMorticella, who has worked with top athletes for the last 25 years, including the US Women's Soccer Team: its members needed a makeup product for their shoots that didn't look or feel like makeup, so she whipped up these tinted balms.
Warm and rich with a slight shimmer of gold, use Plum to deepen and enhance lips and cheeks.

Spring is a crowd-pleasing, makes-everyone-look-brighter shade that falls somewhere between the wildly popular French Melon and Crimson shades. Paola describes it as "a breezy take on a spring bloom to add a bit of brightness to lips and cheeks." We think it'll be their newest best seller. (And so aptly named. Who doesn't like spring?)

Persimmon is a rich, toasty orange that looks absolutely beautiful alone on darker skin tones; mixed with No. 3 Crimson or No. 6 Bronze Shimmer, it adds a subtle wash of warmth. It's one of Paola's favorites.

Crimson is a light blush of classic red that helps create the perfect pout and works beautifully on cheeks as well. Paola particularly loves it on fair skin with gray hair. It's beautiful on its own, or you can mix it with No. 5 Currant or No. 6 Bronze Shimmer for more depth. You can't go wrong with this shade (or any of them, really, but especially this one).
Olio E Osso's balms are handmade in Portland in small batches. But of course.

Anti-itch remedy stick  /.6 oz
Kinfield Relief Balm anti-itch remedy is a handy little stick to have on hand just in case you forgot to apply your Golden Hour. This hydrating balm, housed in an eco-friendly paper tube, features 10% colloidal oatmeal, turmeric, and arnica in a base of shea butter and plant oils (coconut, avocado, sunflower, and jojoba) to calm inflammation and soothe skin. Cajeput and eucalyptus oils give it a sweet-spicy scent along with itch-relieving power that quickly goes to work on bug bites, itchy spots, and other minor irritations.

Ceramic vented round brush for a faster, better-for-you blow dry / 1.42" diameter
TEK Ceramik has become our favorite blow-drying tool. Did you know that TEK was the first in the world to create a ceramic brush? We didn’t either, but it’s true — and these brushes have even been tested and certified by ISTEC-CNR, the Institute of Science and Technology for Ceramics, which is in Italy and sounds intriguing on many levels.
Aside from the history and intrigue, though, this is just a stellar brush. Its ceramic core distributes heat more evenly through the hair, preventing thermal damage and static for shinier hair, longer-lasting color, and styles with better hold. The vents in the core allow hair to dry faster, too, and the antibacterial bristles are temperature resistant. In a nod to TEK’s wooden-brush origins, the handle is made of 100% FSC-certified ash wood.
The 1.42” diameter on this brush works nicely across both shorter and longer hair styles. If you like a polished-looking blow dry, this is a must have.

Cooling aloe mist with cucumber, spearmint, & eucalyptus  / 3 oz
Kinfield Sunday Spray is a hydrating, cooling, soothing aloe mist that makes you feel as though you sprayed your face with the crisp, refreshing cucumber ice water at your favorite spa (without the side-eye from the spa attendants that would be involved in such an endeavor).
While Sunday Spray was originally intended for “the day after the beach day” when your sunscreen didn’t quite keep up — not that you’d have to worry about that with Kinfield’s Daily Dew SPF 35 — it’s not just for sunburns. Fortified with soothing prickly pear and hydrating cucumber along with refreshing spearmint and eucalyptus, it’s just the thing after a workout; it’s lovely during a hot bath; it’s the perfect refresher on a hot day, especially when you keep it in the fridge.
And we couldn’t think of a better product (aside from sunscreen) to pop into the tote that you pack for a long day at the beach, at the gym, at the tennis club, or on a long road trip. It’s instant, cooling, hydrating refreshment that never leaves stickiness behind — just calmer, cooler skin.

Kinfield Sunday Spray

DEET-free bug spray that really works  / 3 oz
Kinfield Golden Hour is the only bug spray we carry. When you come across an “it’s the only one of its kind that we carry” situation with us, it’s a sure sign of two things: a) this is an extraordinary product, and b) it’s really hard to make something that does what it does — and does it well.
Golden Hour is DEET-free, instead relying on a specific strain of Indonesian citronella to repel mosquitoes. And repel it does: Kinfield has invested in independent trials with an entomology lab to ensure efficacy against the specific mosquito variety, Aedes Aegypti, that’s most widespread in the US and tends to be a vector for mosquito-borne illnesses. Members of our team also put it to the test in Hawaii and Mexico and found it delightfully effective.
It smells lovely, too, in a refreshing departure from the noxious bug sprays you may remember from your childhood. Instead, it warms your skin with a vanilla-citrus scent that you’ll actually be glad to spray on before venturing out into the beautiful, buggy world knowing that those mosquitoes won’t turn to you for their snacking needs.
As you might imagine, there’s a great story behind this product. Read all about it in Dara’s interview with Kinfield’s founder, Nichole, on our blog.

Kinfield Golden Hour Deet-free Repellent

For a fast, natural glow / 3.3 oz
The Organic Pharmacy's Self Tan is the perfect solution for anyone looking for a non-toxic sunless tanner. This light, citrusy cream delivers a fast, uniform tan that looks totally natural while hydrating skin. It's completely streakless and blends into skin beautifully; color starts to develop in three hours, and it can be reapplied every two days for maintenance.
Suitable for use on face and body, even for those with sensitive skin. Essential for pasty legs that haven't seen the light of the sun in months. Oh, and it's a favorite of Victoria Beckham's. There's a reason why it's the only self-tanner on our shelves: we just can't imagine one that could be better.

Scalp-stimulating, scalp-acne-fighting, sebum-regulating sage water / 3.38 oz
Biofficina Toscana Hydrolats are what they refer to as “base products” – multi-benefit products that can be blended with others. They’re the perfect partners to Biofficina Toscana’s Gentle Shampoo Concentrate, as they allow you to tailor your shampoo mixture to the specific needs of your scalp.
Hydrolats are the result of steam-distilling plants. They’re similar to essential oils but much milder on skin, which makes them suitable for a variety of applications. Biofficina Toscana sources the plants used in their pure hydrolats from a small organic farm in the Maremma region of Tuscany. These products are the real deal: open this one up, and it’s as though you’re standing on that farm, sniffing a handful of sage.
Each hydrolat boasts specific benefits based on the properties of the plant used to make it. Sage has stimulating, energizing, and sebum-balancing benefits that make it suitable for balanced to oily scalps and those with acne or hair loss; blended with Gentle Shampoo Concentrate in the cute little My Shampoo bottle, the strong sage scent of the Hydrolat turns into a subtle, pleasantly fresh smell. You can also pour a little into your hand and give yourself a stimulating scalp massage with it before you shampoo.

Shampoo & Conditioner

Gentle sebum-regulating, purifying anti-dandruff shampoo / 6.76 oz
Biofficina Toscana’s Purifying Anti-dandruff Shampoo has been specifically formulated to have sebum-regulating and purifying effects on the scalp. With its base of plant-based surfactants to gently (but effectively) cleanse scalp and hair, it avoids the overly stripping experience of many purifying shampoos. Instead, a smart blend of botanical extracts (burdock, ivy, juniper, and birch) provides oil-regulating oomph, and Venus Hair Fern extract adds purifying properties that have been linked to prevention of hair loss.
But what takes this formula to the next level is piroctone olamine, an ingredient that not only treats the itchiness associated with dandruff, but also its frequent root cause — a naturally occurring fungus called Malassezia globosa that is present on everyone's scalp, but causes irritation and flaking on scalps that are sensitive to it. (Sort of like the pesky demodex mites that are commonly associated with rosacea on skin.)
Like Biofficina Toscana's Gentle Shampoo Concentrate, it’s an eco-friendly concentrate that can be either used as is or diluted with water. Alternatively, you can personalize it with a Hydrolat of your choice for even more supercharged scalp benefits. Here's a breakdown of the Hydrolats you can choose from:
- Lavender for scalps of any type, especially sensitive (also works beautifully sprayed on between shampoos for a purifying scalp massage)
- Rosemary to rebalance oily scalps and fight dandruff
- Sage to fight scalp acne, balance oil production, fight perspiration, and boost volume — it's also Biofficina Toscana's top pick for thinning hair
- Cypress to soothe dry, itchy/flaky scalps and restore vitality to dry, damaged hair
To get the perfect dilution level, order Biofficina Toscana’s My Shampoo bottle, too. Highly recommended for those of us who consider ourselves Type A.

Biofficina Toscana Purifying Anti-dandruff Shampoo

Suits-everyone sulfate-free shampoo with generous lather / 8 oz
Ursa Major Go Easy Daily Shampoo achieves what seems to be the impossible in a sulfate-free formula: a genuinely generous lather, a clean rinse, and a formula that suits hair types from oily to dry, straight to curly, and everything in between.
Emily and Oliver, the co-founders of Ursa Major, have deep backgrounds in the haircare industry and two very different types of hair, as you can see on our blog. When they decided to create a shampoo, they decided that it had to be a) sublime, and b) suitable for both of them. A tall order, to say the least.
And yet here it is. Its luxurious, creamy lather won’t strip hair, and lovers of woodsy aromas will adore its ginger, balsam, and fir scent. The formula is also packed with thoughtful additions, like bergamot oil to wash away buildup, macadamia oil to restore softness and shine, and licorice to ward off dandruff. This beautiful shampoo really does cover all the bases.

Ursa Major Go Easy Daily Shampoo

Precision blending bottle for Biofficina Toscana shampoo / 100 ml
Isn’t Biofficina Toscana’s My Shampoo blending bottle cute? It’s indispensable if you’re using their Gentle Shampoo Concentrate, since it allows for precise dilution. Not only that, but if you’re using it with a Biofficina Toscana Hydrolat — which we strongly recommend — it allows you to apply your perfectly personalized shampoo more precisely to the scalp, where those Hydrolats will really go to work.
PS Here's a breakdown of the Hydrolats you can pick:
- Lavender for scalps of any type, especially sensitive; also works beautifully sprayed on between shampoos for a purifying scalp massage
- Rosemary to rebalance oily scalps and fight dandruff
- Sage to fight scalp acne, balance oil production, fight perspiration, and boost volume — it's also Biofficina Toscana's top pick for thinning hair
- Cypress to soothe dry, itchy/flaky scalps and restore vitality to dry, damaged hair
In case this was unclear: This is an empty bottle used for blending. (We don't want you buying it and expecting it to magically contain a pre-blended concoction. That would be a crushing disappointment. But it is a wonderful tool.)

Travel-friendly volumizing favorites from EVOLVh / 4 x 2 oz bottles
EVOLVh's Volume Discovery Kit is a perfect little collection of (generous) 2 ounce travel sizes of four of the brand's biggest hits: the lightweight, nourishing, bouncy-hair-making UltraShine Shampoo & Conditioner, the versatile SmartVolume Leave-In Conditioner that gives hair both volume and movement, and the max-volume-making TotalControl Styling Creme.
These four happen to be the four key products for volume suggested by EVOLVh founder Boris Oak in his interview with us here, where he shares some very specific and immensely helpful tips on getting healthy, touchable volume that so many of us crave. It's a pretty sweet deal, too — a full $5 less than what you'd pay for the individual travel sizes. (Why wouldn't you get it? If your hair has too much volume. That is really the only reason we can possibly come up with.)

Oil-balancing, dandruff-fighting rosemary floral water / 3.38 oz

Each hydrolat boasts specific benefits based on the properties of the plant used to make it. Rosemary has purifying, antiseptic, and healing benefits that make it suitable for oily scalps and those with dandruff; blended with Gentle Shampoo Concentrate in the cute little My Shampoo bottle, the strong rosemary scent of the Hydrolat turns into a subtle, pleasantly fresh smell. You can also pour a little into your hand and give yourself a purifying scalp massage with it before you shampoo.

Biofficina Toscana Rosemary Hydrolat

Mildly foaming shampoo for balanced to oily scalps and any type of hair / 8 oz full size
Balance is a mildly foaming shampoo that’s ideal for balanced to oily scalps and any type of hair — although it’s particularly marvelous on fine, thin hair that needs volume. Our team of oily-scalped staffers loves Josh’s original Nourish formula, too, for its pleasantly tingly feel; his newer Balance formula is similar, but left their scalps feeling a little cleaner for a longer period of time. Citrus oils help refresh the scalp and remove just the right amount of excess oil.
For those of you with oily scalps but dry hair lengths, try pairing Balance shampoo paired with Nourish conditioner or EVOLVh’s conditioner. If you have fine hair with thin density, Balance shampoo and conditioner together will help it appear fuller and more voluminous. Be sure to take a look at the usage tips under "How to Use" below — they make all the difference.
And for additional advice about shampooing, such as how often to do it and whether you should switch your shampoo from time to time, check out our interview with Josh himself on the topic on our blog. (Did you know he was a celebrity hairstylist in a previous life? He knows what he's talking about.)

Josh Rosebrook Balance Shampoo

Hydrating conditioner for all curl types / 8.5 oz
EVOLVh SmartCurl Hydrating Conditioner is designed to help curls become much more manageable even before you think about styling. As founder Boris Oak explained to us, “Curls are very humidity-reactive; they can be prone to frizz because they’re trying to get water from the air. But if you can satisfy your hair’s need for moisture internally, it won’t need to do that.”
Designed to stop frizz before it even has a chance, silicone-free SmartCurl Hydrating Conditioner uses short-chain fatty acids to infuse hair with moisture on a deeper level, leaving it smooth and nourished but without the coated feeling that can come from formulas that overuse silicones, panthenol, and heavy oils. Instead, curls are touchable, soft, and strengthened from within.

Evolvh Smartcurl Hydrating Conditioner

Non-foaming cleanser for perfectly hydrated curls / 10 oz full size

To all of our friends with thick, curly hair who are lathering up with bubbles on a regular basis: we know bubbles are fun, but please think about going without. At least as an experiment. Because foaming shampoos can be truly irksome for curly hair — they tend to ruffle the cuticle, strip both scalp and hair of natural oils, and dehydrate already parched curls.

Bouclème’s Curl Cleanser, on the other hand, gently cleanses scalp and hair for a clean feel without disrupting moisture levels, even when it’s used every day. This cleanser features a blend of argan and coconut oils, aloe vera, honey, and linseed and pomegranate extracts to nourish the hair cuticle from the inside out. And to make up for the lack of bubbles, its phthalate-free, essential oil-based fragrance (citrus, spearmint, and magnolia leaf) makes for an extra-revitalizing cleansing experience.
The Curl Cleanser is ideal for medium to thick hair textures. If you have very fine, loose waves, you may prefer their Hydrating Hair Cleanser.
Bouclème formulas never include silicones, sulfates, parabens, mineral oils, petroleum, propylene glycol, PEGs, phthalates, artificial colors, or artificial fragrances. They also perform better than anything we've ever seen for curly hair — and we've done a lot of testing. A lot.
Plus, they make helpful instructional videos!

Gentle daily shampoo for babies and kids / 6.7 fl oz

Enfance Paris Gentle Liquid Shampoo is, in our view, the perfect baby shampoo. It contains nothing extraneous — it’s a simple but innovative, extra-soft gel formula that gently lathers and rinses easily with a soft scent of witch hazel and orange blossom water.

This essential-oil-free formula has been formulated specifically for children from newborn through age 3, but we love it so much that we tend to recommend it for children of all ages (and here's a secret: adults on our team love it, too). The sensitive skin friendly formula ensures softness, shine, and comfort, every single day.

Enfance Paris Gentle Liquid Shampoo 0-3 Years

Gentle shampoo for color treated hair / 8.5 oz full size
EVOLVh’s SmartColor Hair Color Protecting Shampoo is one of those products that we weren’t quite sure we needed — their UltraShine Moisture Shampoo is so good, and color safe — until we learned exactly what it does.
Yes, like all EVOLVh products, it’s color safe. Here’s the thing, though: it not only gently cleanses hair, but also helps prevent fading more effectively than any other color safe shampoo we’ve tried. The L-Tyrosine (an amino acid) used across SmartColor products is included in this shampoo, too, along with nourishing ingredients that help prevent splitting and breakage while you wash. And like the beloved UltraShine, it leaves hair looking and feeling beautifully silky and clean. It’s lightly scented with a bright, phthalate-free citrus scent with floral undertones. Follow it with the similarly scented SmartColor Color Protecting Conditioner for a super dose of L-Tyrosine and additional protective benefits.
Check out the interview on our blog with EVOLVh founder Boris Oak, where he shares some of his tips for color treated hair, how to get the most out of the SmartColor products, and where to find his favorite healthy hair color brands.

Evolvh Smartcolor Color Protecting Shampoo

Leave-in detangling spray specifically formulated for curls / 8.5 oz
EVOLVh SmartCurl Leave-In Conditioner is one of those products that launched with very high expectations: EVOLVh's SmartStart and SmartVolume Leave-In Conditioners are among the best products in this brand's lineup of stars. This version features the addition of shea butter and coconut oil for additional hydration and fatty acids for smoother curls. And, thankfully, it delivers: the weightless, creamy, spray-on formula features a heap of fatty acids to help strengthen curls and prevent breakage, while its low pH helps seal hair's cuticle for shine and softness.
Spray this silicone-free formula on all curl types — wavy, curly, kinky — after showering and before styling to seal in extra moisture and prevent frizz.

Evolvh Smartcurl Leave-in Conditioner

Lightweight, volumizing conditioner / 8 oz full size
Josh Rosebrook Balance Conditioner was developed for all hair types and textures with Balanced to Oily scalp conditions. We love this lightweight conditioner, which is light but creamy and works beautifully on fine, thin hair as well as thicker hair types with low levels of damage or porosity (which require less moisture). It provides hair with softness and shine, but not too much extra moisture or weight.
Our team has enjoyed mixing and matching between Josh Rosebrook's formulas. For example:
- Try the Nourish shampoo with the Balance conditioner when the Nourish shampoo is almost moisturizing enough to forego conditioner, but not quite.
- Try Balance shampoo and conditioner together if you have fine, thin hair: this duo will help it look fuller and more voluminous.
Like the other Josh Rosebrook shampoos and conditioners, it's available in a handy small size, too — great for trial and travel.

It's a pretty sweet deal, too — a full $5 less than what you'd pay for the individual travel sizes. (Quite honestly, we can't think of a good reason not to get this cute little kit, which comes complete with instructions...though not the secret tips in Boris' interview with us.)

(Quite honestly, we can't think of a good reason not to get this cute little kit, which comes complete with instructions...though not the secret tips in Boris' interview with us.)
