A fragranced, acid-supported shampoo aimed at frizz-prone long hair, with credible evidence for shine and smoothing but a clear tradeoff for fragrance sensitivity and potentially stronger cleansing.

This is a rinse-off shampoo for hair and scalp, not a skincare product. Online manufacturer and retailer pages match the exact Kérastase Gloss Absolu Bain Hydra-Glaze variant and provide a complete INCI list. The formula is positioned for long, frizz-prone hair and combines cleansing surfactants with conditioning agents, hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, and rose-derived ingredients; the main uncertainty is that it is still a fragranced shampoo with potentially sensitizing components.
