This is a hair styling putty designed to create texture and shape with a matte finish and reworkable hold. The formula includes heavy emollients (petrolatum, mineral oil), humectants (propylene glycol, panthenol), and antioxidants (tocopherol). It delivers on claims of easy wash‑out and non‑greasiness for many users, though the high fragrance content and dense base may weigh down fine hair or irritate sensitive scalps. Ingredient list and claims are sourced from manufacturer and retailer listings.
