Comments: Blue Malva Shampoo appears to be one of Aveda's "specialty" shampoos. It is designed to "add...silvery brightness to gray hair, and neutralize...brassiness in chemically-treated hair and all shades." Since my hair is neither chemically-treated nor gray (at least most of it anyway), I'm not sure what good it's doing me. Even so, I still like it, if only for the color (purple, or "amethyst" if you're fancy) and the scent (like opening a bottle of almond extract).
Malva, by the way, is a genus of the family Malvaceae. Cotton, okra, hibiscus and marshmallow are also of the family Malvaceae.
As for the Rosemary Mint Conditioner, it's the Honda Accord of the conditioner world. It's relatively cheap, reliable and it makes you feel like you're saving the planet a tiny bit every time you use it.
