Briogeo Hair Care

Inspired by a family tradition of making natural beauty products from scratch—and that beauty shouldn't be compromised by harsh ingredients—Nancy Twine launched Briogeo. The name is derived by Brio, meaning "full of life", and Geo, representing "earth and nature.” Combining the best nature has to offer to revive hair to its most balanced state, these high-performing formulas are free of SLS, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and silicones. Instead, they are infused with blends of natural plant and fruit extracts, oils, and antioxidants.
