I just tried it out and looking at the ingredients list, some of them are "bristle oat seed extract, sweet almond extract, beet root extract, tamarind fruit extract"

I always thought that the random vegetable extracts in hair products were just BS for the label, but I assume you must be putting them in the shampoo for good reason.

Hello there,

My name is Hien Nguyen and I am a co-founder and the chief scientist at Function of Beauty. Our hair goals are a proprietary blend of selected performance ingredients; each ingredient has been through rigorous clinical testing from reputable cosmetic ingredient suppliers. Black oat is used to "fix split ends", sweet almond extract deep conditions, beet root extract has high performance moisture, and tamarind fruit extract fights frizz. The extracts contain either amino acids, protein, essential fatty acids, or polysaccharides (and more!) which give its beneficial hair goal properties. I hope this helps answer your question and also in choosing your personalized hair care set.

Do you have independent, scientific references supporting your reasoning about the role each ingredient is intended to perform?

We do from our raw material suppliers who work with independent labs. However, the literature is for our research and development purposes only. Thank you for your interest!
