Avalon Organics Biotin B-Complex Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner helps to restore lifeless thinning hair and control hair loss with Vitamin B Complex, saw palmetto and wheat protein for increased scalp circulation and stimulation of healthy hair follicles.

As a Watsons Ambassador, I had the opportunity to attend Watsons Avalon Organic Preview Workshop held at ReStore Living Cafe in Tanjong Pagar last evening.

After Avalon Organic product range presentation, here are my first impressions. I tried Avalon Organics Essential Lift Skincare on the back of my hand. The products have a very light soothing scent and are easily absorbed saved for the Avalon Restructuring Night Crème which is richer and denser in texture, hence a little longer to penetrate into the skin. Skin looked smoother and softer to touch.

For Avalon Organics Elixir Hair Care, I love the Tea Tree Mint Treatment Shampoo and Conditioner as it smell very icy cool and refreshing minty. Awapuhi Mango Moisturising Shampoo and Conditioner smell more fruity without overpowering with a slight trail of ginger while Biotin B-Complex Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner smell rather pleasant.

I will post my reviews for the products after I try them next month as I have just started reviewing another skincare brand.

Singapore is probably the only place in the world where every culture had adapted spices into their established ethnic dishes, while the ubiquitous curry is re-created, reinterpreted and celebrated by every ethnic cuisine on this island like Peranakan Curry, Malay Curry Puff, Hainanese Curry and Eurasian Oxtail Curry.
