Orofluido Beauty Elixir

October's Birchbox featured a sample of Orofluido's Beauty Elixir, and that was the first time I'd tried it. I usually use Yves Rocher Monoi De Tahiti Gardenia Oil for my occasionally crunchy hair. I like this more. The fragrance is very soft and warm, it smells very patchouli-ish, but it isn't overwhelming. It absorbs quickly, even though it is very thick (you only need a couple drops). I usually use it at bedtime so it has plenty of time to soften my hair before my morning shower.

From the Orofluido website:

Argan oil: liquid gold for your hair
Extracted from the seeds of the Argania spinosa fruit, Argan oil is rich in vitamin E and essential fatty oils, similar in composition to our own skin. It strengthens hair and makes it extremely light and incredibly silky.

Linseed oil: instant shine
The seeds of the linen plant are the source of a precious oil which seals and smoothes the hair cuticle, providing uniformity and control. The result is hair that captures and reflects the light, giving it a spectacular shine.

Cyperus oil: pure silk to the touch
Cyperus is a plant that has been cultivated in Egypt for more than 4,000 years. It is the source of an oil with a high content of fatty acids and tocopherol, which give natural protection against free radicals. It provides softness and volume, leaving hair manageable, smooth and flexible.

It retails for $29.99 on the Birchbox site, that is for a 3.4 oz bottle, which probably lasts forever. I would buy the full-size.
