Nutritive Conditioner

Decent 3.2 / 5

This conditioner offers standard conditioning benefits but contains several ingredients that are common sensitizers and allergens, particularly the preservatives Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone, which are concerning for a product intended for regular use on hair and scalp.

About this product

This is a conditioner formulated with a blend of conditioning agents, emollients, and a small amount of argan oil. It aims to provide detangling and softening benefits to the hair.

Good signs
  • Effective conditioning and detangling properties are provided by the combination of Behenamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Cetearyl Alcohol, and Dipalmitoylethyl Hydroxyethylmonium Methosulfate.
  • The inclusion of Hydrogenated Castor Oil and Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil offers emollient benefits, contributing to hair softness and shine.
  • Lactic Acid can help to balance the pH of the conditioner, which can be beneficial for hair cuticle health.
Watch-outs
  • The product contains multiple fragrance components (Parfum, Hexyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Alcohol, Linalool) and a fragrance ingredient (Benzaldehyde), which are common sensitizers and can cause irritation for individuals with fragrance sensitivities.
  • The presence of Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone, known as strong sensitizers, is a significant concern for potential allergic reactions, especially in a leave-on product or one with prolonged contact like a conditioner.
  • The concentration of Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil appears to be relatively low, given its position towards the end of the ingredient list, suggesting its primary role might be more for marketing than substantial functional benefit.
Best for
  • Individuals seeking a basic conditioning product for detangling and softening hair.
  • All hair types, provided there are no sensitivities to the included preservatives or fragrance ingredients.
How to use it
  • Individuals with sensitive scalps or known allergies to fragrance or isothiazolinone preservatives should perform a patch test before regular use.
  • Rinse thoroughly after application to minimize contact time with potential irritants.
