A Review of ELAVA Botanik: Food Grade Shampoo and Conditioner


ELAVA Botanik believes that what goes on the body should be as pure as what goes in the body. With that thought in mind they created the the first 100% natural, certified organic fruit pulp hair care products. Each product is marked with a “fresh until” date just like grocery products.
“ELAVA” is Finnish for “living.” Their ingredients demonstrate their standards of purity with non-allergenic, non-toxic, paraben-free, sulfate-free formulas completely without glutens, silicones, or synthetic fragrance. They are set apart from other brands even further by the use of whole organic foods and not botanical extracts.

I had the chance to try ELAVA Botanik’s Papaya Shampoo and Conditioner and I’m in love. My hair felt so smooth and beautiful, and it looked so shiny and healthy after using the shampoo and conditioner just once. After a few days my hair was silken luxury.


I must admit I couldn’t use it every single day because it would start to weigh my hair down but using it a couple times a week is perfect for making my hair look fabulous.


The shampoo smells delicious and the conditioner is thick, rich and very luxurious. I love them.
ELAVA botanik Papaya Shampoo is designed for all hair types and it is antioxidant rich shampoo for that strengthens the hair and protects against color fade or damage caused by hot irons or dryers. Green Tea in the shampoo promotes strength and protects against bacterial invasion. It also contains protein enzymes that decompose oxygen to prevent the oxidation of color.
