The Based Bodyworks Range.

Texture Haven proudly brings you Based Bodyworks. Every ingredient is published in full, with the actives that do the work. No hidden 'fragrance,' no proprietary blends — so you can judge the product, not the packaging.

Hair Care

Cleanse & Condition

Shampoo

A gentle, coconut-based cleansing shampoo built for daily use on all hair types and scalp conditions — dry, oily, sensitive, straight, curly, coily, thick, or fine. pH-balanced, scented with peppermint essential oil instead of synthetic fragrance. The Based Bodyworks philosophy: most scalp irritation (flakes, itching) comes from sulfates and synthetic fragrance in drugstore shampoos, so removing those keeps hair clean without stripping it. Safe for daily use and color-treated hair.

Ingredients

Water, Coco-Glucoside, Glycerin, Cetearyl Olivate & Sorbitan Olivate (Olivem1000), Guar Gum, Citric Acid, Peppermint Oil, Potassium Sorbate + Sodium Benzoate, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Vitamin E, Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil, Argan Oil, Aloe Vera, Arginine

Shop Shampoo

Conditioner

A lightweight, non-greasy conditioner that softens and hydrates without a 'coated' or waxy feel. Works on all hair types; doubles as a co-wash or mid-week treatment. Claims to reduce tangles and breakage over time using plant oils and botanical extracts instead of heavy silicones.

Ingredients

Water, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Potassium Sorbate + Sodium Benzoate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Peppermint Oil, Vitamin E, Coconut Oil, Argan Oil, Arginine, Citric Acid, Sodium Gluconate

Shop Conditioner

Curl Mousse

A lightweight, alcohol- and silicone-free mousse, especially good for fine or low-density curls needing volume without weight. Hydrates while it styles, unlike drugstore mousses that rely on drying alcohols. Layer at the roots for lift, pair with gel on the lengths for hold, or refresh later with Curl Refresh Spray.

Ingredients

Water, Glycolipids, Inulin, Aureobasidium Pullulans Ferment, Santal Sandalwood, Glycerin, Althaea Officinalis (Marshmallow) Root Extract, Sodium Benzoate + Potassium Sorbate, Bambusa Vulgaris (Bamboo) Extract, Sodium Gluconate, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Citric Acid

Curl Gel

A maximum-hold gel marketed as flake- and residue-free, unlike drugstore gels that use PVP or acrylate polymers. Forms a cast as it dries; scrunch out for soft, defined curls. Gentle enough for color-treated, keratin-treated, or permed hair.

Ingredients

Water, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Santal Sandalwood, Glycerin, Inulin, Cellulose Gum, Sclerotium Gum, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate + Sodium Benzoate, Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Linum Usitatissimum (Flaxseed) Seed Extract, Chondrus Crispus (Irish Sea Moss) Extract, Tocopherol, Sodium Gluconate, Beta Vulgaris (Beet) Root Extract

Shop Curl Gel

Curl Refresh Spray

A 'day 2/3' reviver spray that rehydrates and reactivates whatever styling product was originally used, rather than adding surface moisture only. Lightweight and avoids the sticky, weighed-down feel of heavier refresher sprays. Works best when some original product is still in the hair.

Ingredients

Water, Glycerin, Bambusa Vulgaris (Bamboo) Extract, Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Santal Sandalwood, Potassium Sorbate + Sodium Benzoate, Sclerotium Gum, Saccharide Isomerate, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate

Shop Curl Refresh Spray

Curl Cream

A definition-and-frizz-control cream with light, all-day hold. Seals in moisture and controls frizz and humidity without the silicones that cause buildup in curl-specific products — leaving curls soft and touchable, not crunchy or coated.

Ingredients

Water, Glycerin, Castor Oil, Avocado Oil, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Inulin, Aureobasidium Pullulans Ferment, Arginine, Vitamin B5, Hydrolyzed Silk, Vitamin E, Sodium Gluconate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Santal Sandalwood (Naturally Derived Fragrance)

Shop Curl Cream

Leave-In Conditioner

A lightweight leave-in marketed especially toward dry, damaged, or frizz-prone hair. Framed as a 'shield' between washes — it hydrates, protects, and helps strengthen hair without the buildup common in cheap synthetic leave-ins. Fast-absorbing, and safe for daily use and color-treated hair.

Ingredients

Water, Glycerin, Castor Oil, Avocado Oil, Sorbitan Olivate, Cetearyl Olivate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Santal Sandalwood, Vitamin E, Arginine, Sodium Gluconate, Citric Acid, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate

Sea Salt Spray

A 'beachy,' post-surf-look spray. It counters the typical downside of salt sprays (dryness and frizz) by balancing the drying effect of salt with aloe vera and glycerin. Light, buildable hold and a matte finish; works as a primer under clay or pomade, or alone.
