One would think that with the advanced technology and research, it would be easier for beauty companies to develop products that are not only cruelty free, but that are also created without the need for animal derivatives.

Fortunately, White Sands introduces a Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner duo that is Color Intelligent. And the best part? They're 100% vegan.

White Sands Hydrating Shampoo with Color Intelligence is sulfate free and contains a clear micro shield, ensuring that it will delicately cleanse your hair, without stripping your tresses of much-needed moisture.

The Hydrating Conditioner with Color Intelligence is a light weight formula that protects against damaging free radicals.
