Well, I am really two-minded about Biotique products but to be fair, many of the products do work for me and so did this one also. I found this to be one of the really good conditioners I have ever used.
Price: Rs 159 for 120ml
Ingredients
 |
| Earlier, the product was called water salad which was I think a more appropriate name for the product. As you can see from the ingredients, it has lots of vegetables – ananas (pineapple), carrots, cucumber, lemon, pudina, tomato. And, now to more obscure ingredients, Ghrit Kumari is aloe vera, Jav is Barley Water, Pyrus Cydonia is Quince Seed Extract, Ankurit Gehun is germinated wheat or wheatgerm oil and the base is of course water. No watercress :O |
Packaging
Same as other Biotique products and the bottle has a very wide mouth because of which you will always get more of product than you intend.
My Experience
Well, the conditioner is extremely watery and looks almost like aloevera gel mixed with a little water. Its green in color too. It definitely takes some getting used to because of its watery texture and is a bit runny to apply. But, I liked how it kept my hair soft and gave a bit of shine to it. And, the best part of this conditioner is that it doesn’t weigh the hair down any time. And, didn’t cause my hair to turn greasy or limp the next day or anything. And, also, I didn’t feel as if created a residue on my hair or anything of the like. So, overall, it was a good experience.
Yes, the product does wish me to desire a lot. For example, it has no watercress mentioned in the ingredient list which is really bad. That’s misleading. And, the packaging also needs to be user-friendly so that there is no product wastage or spillage. Its, after all, not very cheap.
My Recommendation
I would definitely say that it is a good conditioner and I would recommend it. Even if there is no transparency about the ingredient list, I can say that the product has no silicones which is a plus!!!

January 17, 2012 at 6:54 PMhey Tapaswini 🙂 yeah even I love it and the best part is that it doesn’t weigh down my hair..btw, have you checked out the new kelp conditioner which has come…I think it is almost same like this with only color difference…I definitely wanna try it out but I have got a whole load of products to finish 🙂 surprisingly, biotique products which I think would probably not work at all sometimes really end up working…I am loving its wheatgerm cream!!

January 17, 2013 at 6:55 PMHey Swati,do we need to use shampoo before applying this conditioner?if so what shampoo will you recommend?
Swati Murti says
January 18, 2013 at 10:03 AMessentially…i use conditioner only after shampooing but no there is no rule as such…you can use this even when you just want to perk up your hair and not wash it. as for recommending a shampoo, i haven’t found a good one yet 🙂
