Alternative to Body Shop Rainforest Hair Butter?

Having spent most of my life trying to get my hair under control, a couple of years ago, I finally found a combination of products that worked for me. Unfortunately, this included the Body Shop Rainforest hair butter, which has apparently now been discontinued! I know quite a few MNers used it, so just wanted to ask if anyone has found a decent alternative?

A bit more info about my hair, if required... It's just past shoulder length and somewhere between wavy and curly, but closer to curly. Very fine and frizzes easily. I've had some success following some principles of the Curly Girl method, but don't stick to it religiously (particularly where hairspray is concerned - nothing will take me away from my Elnett!) I regularly see Frizz Ease recommended for hair like mine but it does nothing at all for me.

I use both the rainforest butter (no idea it was discontinued!) and Cantu shea butter conditioner:

It's quite heavy but works well. Frizz Ease is full of harsh ingredients so I avoid!

Second Cantu products! Also Maui shea butter hair mask is brilliant - and sls/paraben etc free in keeping with the CG principles.

I use Murumuru butter on DD’s hair. I buy it from Akamuti. It’s a bit of a pain because it’s solid at northern climate room temperature so you have to melt it in the palms of your hands first, but once it’s in DD’s hair it sets again and holds the curls beautifully.

Also check out Anita Grant products.

I'll check out those suggestions - thank you!
