The Ordinary, Now on Amazon.com

The Ordinary is featured in my fragrance-free haircare post. They make purpose-driven products that aren't overly-formulated and a great value. You get what you want, and not a lot of other stuff to mess it up. No nonsense.

They haven't had an official Amazon.com store - until now.

And while you can purchase online from The Ordinary and assure they get more of your payment, the convenience of shopping on Amazon and their fast shipping is a luxury when you are purchasing other items as well.

A gentle-cleansing (not too drying) gel-textured shampoo with a light feel. This is kind of fun to use, and while it contains a "sulfate" detergent, the concentration is not as high as many shampoos. So - it's milder.  It doesn't feel stripping or dehydrating. It's not meant to create a mountain of foam, just a little.

The Ordinary Behentrimonium chloride 4% Conditioner

Light and slippery but with good detangling, anti-static and bounce. Great for Fine/Medium hair, or hair that goes flat easily, or hair that tends to show build-up. Very tangly, very high-density or Coarser hair types may not find this provides enough slip to detangle.



Active ingredients for hair density include Caffeine, Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Pea sprout extract, Soy and Wheat germs and Scutellaria root extract in a hydrating, anti-inflammatory serum base. 


This can be used on the scalp to, "Rebalance, hydrate and reduce dryness." This contains an alpha hydroxy acid to exfoliate dry skin. Hint: Try it on a small area (patch-test) if you've never used a product like this before. Try it for a short leave-on time first, such as 5-10 or 15 minutes before a shower - to make sure your skin can handle it. This has potential to irritate sensitive skin, shorter residence-time can mean less irritation.


A scalp serum with squalene (a skin-softening emollient), and some of the same hydrating amino acids and moisturizers found in our skin to help preserve moisture and soothe a dry scalp.
