Do you folks know that feeling when you like something so you keep going back for more… something similar is happening to me in case of hair products from Organix. I recently used up the Argan Oil Shampoo which I loved; so no surprise I went back for more! Its the winters and girl needed help with her dry hair so chose the Quenching Sea Mineral Moisture Variant from the same brand.

It comes packaged in the classic OGX style plastic bottle which they claim to be eco-friendly since it is made of recycled post consumer resin. The shampoo is of a light runny consistency similar to the Moroccon Argan Oil Shampoo from the same brand, that I was using earlier. Due to this one needs to be mindful of not squeezing out too much. I have mid-length hair so I need quite a bit of this. It lathers well, not too much- not too less, just the right amount in my opinion. The shampoo is of similar colour as the bottle and has a fresh tropical fragrance that is surprisingly not very overwhelming and doesn’t last very long. If you are one of those who want the hair to remain fragrant, you will be disappointed! I am OK with the smell mellowing and eventually disappearing so this is not an issue for me.
The good part about this product and generally other OGX offerings is that they claim to use SLS –free surfactants (learn why this is good – here) and don’t test on animals, so in essence good for your hair & your conscience!
It does a decent job of cleaning the scalp without drying the hair too much. But there was no shine with every swish! (scoff!!) I have an oily scalp and frizzy mid length hair, the ends of which are very dry & split end prone. This shampoo definitely helps control the frizz but doesn’t do a whole-lot for the dryness prevalent towards the ends of the hair strands. Hair is soft, voluminous and quite manageable for the first two days after shampoo. But third day onward the sebum & build up kicks in and starts weighing it down. It does contain silicones so that has a part to play in the softness that is noticed immediately after shampooing and the weighing down of hair after a couple of days.
Pros:
- Price to Quantity Ratio
- Cruelty Free
- SLS free surfactants used
Cons:
- Contains Silicones
- Will not be very effective on dry to very dry hair type.
- Not widely available in stores.
Closing Thoughts:
If you are looking for a shampoo that will last for a while and is slightly better than the usual ones that line the shelves at supermarkets; go for it. If you have very dry hair, this wont work so don’t get waylaid by the claims.

What are the hair products that you are loving these days? Let me know in the comments.
Hahah!! Vicious SLS circle. But after this I definitely need to try something other than OGX. Although I do find the price to quantity ratio of this one quite good value for money.
I actually used that shampoo in my last traveling to the USA, they were really good, my aunt loves them and buy them as they are a nut free and its good for her son allergies, great product
That’s, really good to know that it works even for folks with Allergies.
I have used this brand before, but not this specific one. Looks like it will be good and is reasonable price wise too x
I LOVE OGX shampoo and they work the best! I have oily and straight hair and I’ve tried so many different shampoo but not good as OGX! I would love to try sea mineral moisture!
I need to try this brand out!looks like a good one. Have to try the shampoo.
I need to try this brand out!looks like a good one. Have to try the shampoo.I usually use Aveda products. But its good to change up a bit
Hey, tell me more about your experience with Aveda?
oh, interesting! i’ve heard so many good things about their shampoo/conditioner line and now i want to try it even more xD
Organix is one of my favorite shampoos and conditioners that your can buy at a chain store. I love the body wash.
I haven’t heard of this brand before. I do like to hear reviews on shampoo so I can be on the look out.
Rose, you gotta try something from Organix, they have a huge variety and I personally find them value for money.
This shampoo is packaged beautifully and I like the fact that its not tested on animals. Looks like a lovely product.
Sounds like a great product. Unfortunately for me, I doubt it would match well with my dry hair. I’ve recently started infusing organic peppermint oil into my shampoo for an added kick to my hair washing sessions.
Oh wow! Tell me more… Does it work? Does the hair become oily?
I feel like my hair is stronger and fully since starting!
I love that it’s cruelty free and has SLS free surfactants. And I really need a good conditioning, so I will be getting some.
Yeah, try the one from their Moroccan Argan Oil range. I had a good run with it.
The ingredients and the fact that is cruelty free makes me feel like truly trying it!
This is e exactly what I pack into my travel bags! I love how easy it is to use and like the sulfate free and Argan properties
I can’t wait to give this a try. I love organics but I do have dry hair so I will keep that in mind.
Stephanie, I would love to hear what you thought of it. 🙂
Sounds like it was an interesting product at the very least. I know my hair would be like yours only I don’t let it grow out very far. I would have the frizzy part with the dry ends. Sorry to hear the product didn’t do much for the dryness at the ends.
Definitely a decent purchase and I am pretty happy with the quantity to price ratio.
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
My cousin used that shampoo and her hair is so soft and free from tangled. and I can’t wait to try this brand.
Elizabeth, do let me know your experience when you do. 🙂
One of the best thing in life is to be able to discover products that seriously suits your skin/hair and your pocket! It’s great to know you found your perfect match! This product looks great!
I wish it worked on the dryness though. But definitely better than the supermarket picks.
I LOVE Argan Oil. I have long hair that is so hard to manage, and I always look for good brands that will be gentle to my hair.
Elisha, Give these a shot. Also the quantity is a boon for long hair.
Never heard of this brand before but it sounds amazing in your review! My hairs are thin and dry and am using Matrix shampoo and conditioner and its working great on my hairs!
Anamika, you should definitely give this a shot .. it’s in the same price range as Matrix but I think these work better.
Oh wow… I am gonna go look for the gold bottle now 🙂 you got me intrigued.. also I have heard a lot of good things about Aussie… But I don’t see that brand here very often.
Sounds like a great shampoo, I really struggle to find a decent shampoo too. So I’m going to give this one a go. Would it be good for greasy hair?
I appreciate your review and honest comments on this product. I was thinking it sounded really good and might be worth looking into for myself until you said it would NOT be good for dry hair! My aged skin and hair are dry, so I really need products that ADD moisture.
Honest review indeed! I guess I would like this choice of shampoo too, i just wish the smell won’t make me change my mind lol but I love trying new things.
Sounds very interesting, a bit shocked that a shampoo contains silicone. Wouldnt be something that I would now go for.
