Here is some info I googled about the ingredients in the spring orange blossom oil. Orange flower extract: skin conditioning agent Grapefruit: stimulates collagen production, brings smoothness, firmness, and elasticity to the skin, promotes hair growth, assists with acne, smooths wrinkles and age spots, shields against uv rays, and strengthens hair follicles. Meyer lemon: stimulates healthy cell production Passion fruit flower extract: can inhibit cancer cell growth and promotes relaxation Orange peel oil: helps skin tone, tightens skin, and repels mosquitoes. Lemongrass leaf oil: adds shine to hair, combats acne, calming, insect repellent. I love the fact that it seems like Chaz really thinks about the benefits of the ingredients he puts in his products. Hope this helps! Happy Wenning!

Thanks Hillary for taking the time to gather this information. Just read it to my husband who has just started using TT even though he's not fond of the scent. This is a good alternative and should be good for purchasing more than a few bottles. Lol

I recently got the idea to research some of the oils on the Internet. I am not an expert, but here is what I found. I just googled each oil and took some notes about what was interesting. I wanted to share with everyone.

MissKlynn's great post #3 from this thread...

Also will add directly quoted from Chaz's web site, all the new oils contain the following:

Abyssinian Oil: Derived from the seeds of the Abyssinian cabbage plant. It is known to moisturize, hydrate and condition.

Olive Fruit Oil: Derived from olives, high in fatty acids and antioxidants. Moisturizes, repairs and softens the hair or scalp.

Organic Argan Oil: Derived from the nuts of argan trees, it possesses a remarkable ability to nourish, moisturize, eliminate frizz and improve elasticity.The oil is high in lipids, including the omega-9 oleic acid and the omega-6 linoleic acid as well as vitamin E.

All of the oils, old and new have Jojoba Oil. I'm not one to quote from a website without reference, so here is a good website I found with info about Jojoba oil and how it breaks down buildup, and also good information about some of the other oils we see in the Wen oils.

No wonder the Wen oils are my favorite Wen product! So many good things!

I had saved this information from Chaz's website before he consolidated all oils on one page. It is the breakdown for the new oils. Given all the different oils he now uses (as opposed to only the jojoba oil, actually not an oil, but let not split hair..LOL), I understand why some say that the new oils are/feel heavier, especially with the addition of sesame oil, which is very viscous, compared to jojoba.
