Giovanni Wellness System Hair Elixir w/ Chinese Botanical Review

I'm always trying new hair care products and this product is no different. I've used Giovanni products in the past, I love their Smooth As Silk Deeper Moisture Conditioner and my mom loves their Tea Tree Triple Threat Invigorating Conditioner. When I came across this conditioner at my local beauty supply store I was curious, I've never used any product that contains Chinese botanicals. Curiosity got the better part of me so I picked it up for $9.99. 

This product is step 3 in the wellness system, step 1) Giovanni Wellness System Shampoo w/ Chinese Botanicals and step 2) Giovanni Wellness System Conditioner w/ Chinese Botanicals. This wellness line also comes with the Giovanni Wellness System Scalp Serum, I didn't pick up the shampoo and conditioner, but I did pick up the scalp serum which I will review in another post. 

Now onto the Chinese botanicals, all of these herbs and botanicals are very new to me which is what drew me to purchasing this product in the first place. Many are hard to pronounce, but I did my best.

• An Mole, antioxidant & keeps hair elastic.
• Hei Zhi Ma, soothes a dry itchy scalp.
• Jia Ma Chi Xian, strengthens hair roots.
• Mo Han Lian, strengthens &helps keep color. 
• Wu Huan Zi, restores lustre.
• Panax Ginseng, promotes healthy hair growth.
• Mulberry Fruit, increases circulation to hair roots. 

The packaging is a big hard to read when pictured, but other active ingredients in this product are:

Water, your hair's #1 moisturizer.

Panthenol, coveted for moisturizing, thickening, and boosting hair's body quotient.

Jojoba oil, hydrates hair from the inside of the hair shaft.

Sesame Seed oil, increases scalp circulation as it has a high penetration ability thereby promoting hair growth. 

Saw Palmetto, popular as an herbal remedy for a type of hair loss and baldness.

This product is jam packed full of great ingredients that are all beneficial to the hair. "This deeply penetrating formula also restores also restores to dull hair and build manageability- prepping it for heat styling or whatever styling techniques you utilize." (Copied for back of the product)

(4 pumps of product)

The product is light brown in color and a bit tacky in texture. It's very lightweight and I love that about it. When you pump the product out a sufficient amount comes out with makes conserving this product. (2) Pumps is enough for one quadrant of my hair. I love products that come in a pump bottle, they make the styling process go so much smoother.
