I've used this product for years and it has always been a purple cream. Now some people are saying in reviews that it is a clear gel. New formula?

I got some from one amazon marketplace vendor that was a clear gel, in the same bottle, last year. But it definitely was not the right stuff. Either there was a bottling mishap, or that vendor was a complete ripoff. Every bottle since then has been the expected purple cream.

is ICON mesh cream toxin free

The Environmental Working Group has given it this review http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/product/472386/I.C.O.N._Mesh_Measuring_Styling_Cream/, it's major concern is the use of fragrance, which can contain many toxins, but the majority of ingredients have a low-to-mid concern rating. It works really well at taming my frizz and has reduced me from 3 to 1 products! Overall, I feel comfortable and confident using the product.

Is this a leave in cream that you apply to damp hair and leave in ?

Yes, if you want that wet look to curls. Here is info from ICON - Catches the hair in a blanket of moist control, with supple, bouncy, touchable curls defi ned.

Great for curly hair

I have been using Icon Mesh styling cream for over 15 years… the packaging has changed but the product is still fantastic! I have long curly kinky hair and this product helps keep the grizzlies away!

Wonderful styling cream actually tames my frizz.

I have been using this cream for awhile now after having my hair stylist recommend it. The scent isn't overwhelming, you only need a very small amount - so it lasts a long time, it scored well on the EWG review, and it actually helps tame my frizz. I went from 3 products to one, except on the most humid and horrible of days. It makes me feel like I'm less cursed with my half curly and half straight hair.

Great Product

Has a fabulous scent, gives your hair a great feeling, and makes it easier to work with. I can't substantiate this, but I swear it makes my hair dry quicker as well. I've been using this product for years..It's a real beauty staple.

This stuff is magic. Simple to use, not greasy, great for texture, and it adds volume. So again, it's magic.

Great Product

I've been using ICON Mesh for a couple of years now and nothing else even compares to it. I have really thick wavy hair that tends to get weighted down when I use hair products. This stuff doesn't weigh me down and gives beautiful definition to my waves. The 8.5 oz bottle lasts a really long time too, so definitely worth the money.

life saver!

This stuff is great! I have very curly fine hair and this product calmed my frizz while giving me hold and body! I had used gel and moose in the past and the gel made my hair stringy and the moose left it fuzzy. Fed up with my hair, I went to a hair stylist who works with curly hair mostly. After he cut my hair he put this in my hair and recomended that I use it. I was skeptical. Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised! The best part is that this product works well with simply air drying. I recommend this product especially for curly haired people.
