I think out of all the hair styling products I use, smoothing creams seem to be my most go-to ones. Since I recently ran out of one, I was in dire need of another and this JANE CARTER SOLUTION Creamy Leave In Styling Smoother ($15/8oz) arrived just in time. And wow, was I surprised at the good-for … just about everything ingredients! The first few on the list are water, shea butter, mango butter, glycerin, kokum butter (a prize botanical butter from India) and rosemary leaf extract. Nice!

A little about this fascinating line I had no idea existed – Ms. Carter has been working in the industry since the early 80’s and came out with her first product, the Hair Nourishing Serum, back in 1992, way before any line was really touting the power of essential oils and extracts in hair care; reminds me of the Carol's Daughter story a bit.  

Now, the 23 sku strong line can be found in Whole Foods and some at Target, so I can’t wait to try some of the others in the line. Check out the other items @ target.com.
