SheaMoisture is a cruelty-free company. For over four generations, SheaMoisture has been tested on our family and friends, never on animals. We do not conduct animal testing nor do we ask others to do it on our behalf. We support suppliers and organizations that are developing alternative methods of testing without using animals. We do not test on animals, we are not affiliated with any companies which test on animals, and we do not sell in parts of the world that require animal testing. In fact, in most parts of the world, there is a trend towards the banning of animal testing, so savvy ingredient suppliers have provided cruelty-free ingredients for many years now.

SheaMoisture hair care products don’t contain common silicones, Dimethicone or Cyclomethicone. Some of our hair care products contain protein derivatized silicone, which has dual functionality—it increases moisture while providing reinforcement to the cuticle for strengthening properties.

Our products are made with natural and certified organic ingredients. However, each product is not yet certified organic. We will keep our community posted as our products are approved through the certification process.

SheaMoisture stands for being inclusively exclusive. The best in personal care and beauty should not belong to the few, and our accessibility comes compromise-free. The products may be used by those with Hair Types 1 to 4.

Because “Gluten-Free” has taken on such a specific meaning in the food industry, the beauty industry has finally caught up with that and it means something now. In order to be gluten-free as a hair product, you would need to manufacture in a gluten-free facility with gluten-free certified ingredients. This product contains no ingredients that contain wheat, barley, or other gluten-containing ingredients.

To find the expiration date of a product, look for an illustration of an open jar with a number which can be found on the back of the product label. This represents the product’s “Period After Opening” (PAO). The number corresponds to the period of time (in months) the product should be kept and used after opening. The removal of the expiration date from our packaging is not the result of any change in the formulation of our products; rather it is out of recognition that such dates do not signal the end to the efficacy of our products. SheaMoisture removed expiration dates except for products with drug facts:

• Indian Hemp Inflammation Therapy
• ABS Eczema Therapy
• ABS Eczema Body Wash
• ABS Eczema Body Lotion
• ABS Dandruff Control Shampoo
• ABS Dandruff Control Conditioner
• ABS Dandruff Control Masque
• ABS Dandruff Elixir

Nubian Heritage products still have expiration dates. MCJW products do not have expiration dates. Newer products will have code that can be read by consumer as MMDDY/Plant code. When using a product past its printed expiration date, we recommend checking for any unusual scents or discoloring, and to do a patch test for any signs of irritation. The products are fine to use after the expiration date and we are actually removing those dates from our products because such dates do not signal the end to the efficacy of our products.
