About this product

This is a rinse-off conditioner formulated to provide conditioning and repair benefits. It features a blend of fatty alcohols, a quaternary ammonium compound, and silicones for detangling, smoothing, and improving hair feel. The formula also includes panthenol, a known humectant and emollient.

Good signs
  • Contains effective conditioning agents that help to detangle, smooth the hair cuticle, and reduce static.
  • Includes silicones that can provide a protective barrier, enhance shine, and improve manageability.

Watch-outs
  • Contains multiple fragrance components (Parfum, Hexamethylindanopyran, Dimethyl Phenethyl Acetate, Hexyl Cinnamal, Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes) which can be potential irritants or allergens for individuals with sensitivities.
  • The presence of isopropyl alcohol, while often used as a solvent, can be drying for some hair types if used in high concentrations, though its role here is likely as a solvent for other ingredients.
  • Disodium EDTA is a chelating agent, which can be beneficial for hard water, but some individuals prefer to avoid it.
