BEST FOR HAIR TYPE

Medium • Coarse • Wavy • Curly

(Not ideal for fine hair due to buildup potential)

 

BEST FOR SCALP TYPE

Balanced • Oily

(Not suitable for sensitive or reactive scalps)

  • Contains squalane, panthenol, aloe, and saccharide isomerate for hydration
  • No silicones, sulfates, or PEGs
  • Includes zinc PCA and green tea extract for scalp support
  • Clean preservation system (sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate)
  • Synthetic fragrance + linalool + limonene (high irritation potential)
  • Heavy conditioning agents can cause buildup over time
  • Large botanical blend increases allergenic load
  • Stimulating extracts may irritate sensitive scalps

While this conditioner offers hydration through squalane, aloe, and panthenol, it falls short of Functional Beauty Standards due to its synthetic fragrance, allergenic components, and potential for buildup from multiple quaternary conditioners. The oversized botanical blend and presence of irritating extracts further reduce tolerability for sensitive scalps. This product may work for non-reactive users with thicker hair, but it is not a clean or gentle option overall.

STAR RATING

QUICK VERDICT:

Hydrating but weighed down by fragrance and irritation risks — best only for non-sensitive scalps and thicker hair types.
