Aveda Cherry Almond Softening Conditioner — 33.8 fl oz, 98% naturally derived, silicone-free daily softener

Aveda Cherry Almond Softening Conditioner is a silicone-free, 98% naturally derived daily conditioner that softens, detangles and adds weightless shine to normal to dry hair while scenting it with Aveda’s iconic cherry-almond aroma.

This conditioner combines certified organic coconut oil, shea butter, cherry blossom extract and sweet almond oil to restore softness and manageability from roots to ends. Formulated without silicones, parabens, SLS/SLES, mineral oil or animal-derived ingredients, it’s designed for people who want a nourishing, plant-forward option that leaves hair touchably soft and scented with a joyful blend of 38 flower and plant essences.

How does this conditioner make detangling easier?

The formula increases slip so combs and fingers glide through strands with less pulling. Naturally derived emollients and butters smooth the hair surface to reduce friction and breakage during detangling.

• Certified organic coconut oil and shea butter for slip and conditioning
• Sweet almond oil to soften strands and ease combing
• Lightweight texture that won’t weigh hair down

Will it work for my normal to dry hair without leaving residue?

Yes — the silicone-free formula conditions without coating hair in heavy polymers. It restores softness and shine using plant-derived ingredients that rinse clean, preserving bounce and natural movement.

• 98% naturally derived* (ISO 16128) ingredients from plants, minerals and water
• Silicone-free and formulated to rinse off, not build up
• Leaves hair manageable yet lightweight

What does the scent profile bring to the experience?

The conditioner features Aveda’s signature cherry-almond aroma created from 38 flower and plant essences. Notes of tonka bean, certified organic orange and ylang ylang give the product a sweet, uplifting fragrance that lingers subtly on conditioned hair.

• Bright citrus topline from organic orange essences
• Warm, sweet tonka and floral ylang ylang in the heart
• A balanced scent that pairs with other Cherry Almond body products

How does this align with ethical and ingredient preferences?

Aveda formulates this conditioner to meet many eco-conscious and clean-beauty expectations. It is vegan, Leaping Bunny approved, free from common synthetic additives, and Aveda is a Certified B Corporation focused on sustainability.

• Vegan and cruelty-free certification (Leaping Bunny)
• Free from silicones, parabens, SLS/SLES, mineral oil, phthalates and synthetic fragrance
