Review on The Body Shop Buriti Baby Shampoo

Product Description
A caring, tear free shampoo to gently cleanse baby's hair. Bubbly tear-free suds for baby’s first locks, enriched with oil from the precious Amazonian buriti tree.With buriti oil from the Amazonian 'tree of life' to help keep baby's hair beautifully soft and silky. PH balanced. Paediatrician approved, tear-free, alcohol free, dermatologically-tested and suitable for sensitive skin. Contain no artificial colours or added preservatives.

This is a natural range from The Body Shop which I supposed is for babies since its named that way. However, surprisingly, this item was given to me as part of a Christmas gift set. Made me confused if its suitable for adults. Anyway, since I had it, I thought I would just used up the 60ml size bottle and give a review for those who are interested to get it.
The natural ingredients in this tear free natural shampoo are water, coconut oils, coconut butters, fruit oils, glycerin, buriti oil and natural fragrance. These ingredients also help prevent your children's scalps from drying out and becoming itchy which is really nice to have in a natural baby shampoo.
Buriti Oil is a mild and gentle natural ingredient that helps to soothe, soften and protect the skin against over-drying. Its an an oil rich in beta carotene, pro-vitamin A, oleic fatty acids and essential fatty acids.

Because of all these natural and gentle ingredients and the fact that its named for a baby, I have expectations that it would be too mild for adults' usage.
The colour and texture-wise reminds me too much of Johnson No More Tears, its very mild and I am surprised that it does my hair no good at all. In fact, after washing my hair, it just feels like a tangled-up mess and very straw-like, especially in its wet state.
It does not foam very well and as such, I tend to use twice as much than what I would normally used for a shampoo.

I have to say that I really do not like this shampoo at all. Perhaps it may be better for babies.
If you are keen, its retailing at $19.90 for 250ml at all The Body Shop outlets.
