Candy crush?
Ever thought about marshmallows in your beauty products? We were as surprised as you when we came across the Oh So Soft shampoo from Kerala-based vegan beauty brand Manetain. The shampoo features baobab protein, seaweed extract and marshmallow extract, and by marshmallows we’re talking about Marshmallow root, a flowering plant/perennial herb that acts as a potent natural conditioner that can help get rid of dry, lifeless hair! Got you there, didn’t we! There’s also a conditioner from their Oh So Strong range with phytokeratin, argan and lavender, and both the products are for all hair types. INR 350 onwards. manetain.in
