I purchased Phyto Systeme's Infusing Balm & Phyto Systeme's Jojoba & Cornflower Shampoo after reading a post about these products by the lovely Karen Marie.

Here is my review of the Infusing Balm... I'll post a review of the Shampoo in a separate post.
I've included much of the information listed on the box I purchased, as a few people have mentioned seeing the product sold without the box & the information contained on it.

I'll post a review of the Shampoo in a separate post after I have used it a few more times.

PHYTO SYSTEME ROSEMARY, SAGE & WILLOW VITA-BOTANICS LEAVE-IN INFUSING BALM

"Infuses strength, vitality & shine for all hair types. Nourishing Plant Extracts
For Salon Use"

"Vita-Botanics Leave-In Infusing Balm replenishes, rebuilds and revitalizes the hair shaft, using the renewing benefits of seven essential plant extracts which are particularly rich in nutrients. A treatment and lightweight styling cream or all hair types, it adds control, body and texture, leaving hair healthy, shiny and easy to manage."

SALON DIRECTIONS:
Use on shampooed, towel dried hair for best results. Apply a small amount of Vita-Botanics Infusing balm to the palm of your hands and vigorously rub together to emulsify. Work through hair with fingers to distribute evenly. Dry and style as usual.

INGREDIENTS:
water (aqua) cetyl alcohol, stearalkonium chloride, glyceryl monostearate/PEG 100 stearate, laureth 4, dimethicone, glycol distearate, sorbitan palmitate, diazolidinyl urea, propylene glycol, sage (salvia officinalis) extract, burdock ( arctium lappa) extract, rosemary ( rosmarinus officinalis) extract, calendula (calendula officinalis) extract, willow bark (salix alba) extract, althea (althea officinalis) extract, soybean (glycine soja) extract, guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, fragrance (parfum), methyl paraben,citric acid, FD&C yellow #5
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS

COST for 150ml / 5 fl oz (at Sally Beauty) = $6.99

HOW I APPLY THE INFUSING BALM =
I do my normal washing routine; I cleanse, use a vinegar/EO rinse & condition my hair, then apply a small amount of jojoba oil to the ends and up the length of my hair.
I then apply 2 small dime size globs of the Infusing Balm, finger combing & smoothing it into the length of my hair from the ears down. A little bit seems to go a long way with this product.

SCENT = The scent is a very subtle and light "clean" smell - barely noticeable once applied and after the hair has dried.

CONSISTENCY = The Balm is smooth, a whitish-clear color and is the consistency of a liquid styling gel.

HOLD = The Infusing Balm doesn't seem to have much hold, so I would definitely put it in the light hold category. It does a great job of smoothing the hair nicely without weighing it down at all and leaving it quite full with lots of body.

TEXTURE = The Infusing Balm is VERY light, does not weigh my hair down at ALL, and my hair is left with a smooth, completely non-greasy feel.
The Balm doesn't make my hair crunchy at all & does not make my hair tangly or sticky, like some leave-in's can.

MY OVERALL OPINION OF THIS PRODUCT:
I'll buy it again! I will continue to use it.
I love how it smooths my hair and adds shine while being a very light-feeling product that does not feel like it coats my hair or weighs it down at all.
In the time I have been using the Infusing Balm, I have not experienced any problems with buildup.
I have been very pleased with the tangle-free, soft, shiny texture of my hair while using this product.

I've used and loved this product also, However, I can no longer find it at Sally's. They no longer carry Phyto Products. I have not been able to locate it on the web sites that sell Phyto products. Can you help?
