Aveda Cherry Almond Softening Conditioner for Normal to Dry Hair — 33.8 fl oz, Silicone-Free, 98% Naturally Derived

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

Formulated with certified organic coconut oil, shea butter, cherry blossom extract and sweet almond oil, this conditioner targets dryness and friction to improve slip for easier combing and a smoother surface. The 33.8 fl oz size is suited for at-home use or salon stations, and the fragrance blends 38 flower and plant essences — including tonka, organic orange and ylang ylang — for a recognizable sweet, juicy scent. Aveda’s vegan, Leaping Bunny–approved product avoids silicones, parabens and synthetic fragrance while meeting the ISO 16128 guideline for naturally derived content.

How does this conditioner make detangling easier?

The formula increases slip so strands glide past each other, reducing tugging and breakage during combing. Conditioning emollients like coconut oil and shea butter coat the hair shaft while sweet almond oil smooths cuticle edges for manageable detangling.

• Certified organic coconut oil adds lubricity for combing.
• Shea butter provides long-lasting moisture without heaviness.
• Sweet almond oil helps smooth and reduce friction.
• Silicone-free emollients for natural-feel slip.

Will this conditioner weigh down my hair?

Designed for normal to dry hair, the conditioner balances rich emollients with a formulation that avoids heavy silicones. It’s intended to leave hair soft with weightless bounce rather than a flattened finish.

• Light-to-moderate conditioning suitable for long hair.
• Non-silicone ingredients reduce residue buildup risk.
• Rinses cleanly to preserve natural movement and volume.

What scent profile should I expect from Cherry Almond?

The aroma is a layered blend of sweet, fruity and warm floral notes created from 38 flower and plant essences. Expect an immediately recognizable juicy-cherry sweetness softened by tonka and elevated with citrus and ylang ylang highlights.

• Top notes: bright organic orange and fruity accords.
• Heart notes: cherry blossom and sweet floral facets.
• Base notes: warm tonka and gentle woody-amber nuances.
