Ingredients and why they matter
- Aqua (Water) — the universal solvent that allows active ingredients to spread evenly through the hair shaft.
- Peg-25 Hydrogenated Castor Oil — helps emulsify the formula for a smooth, airy texture that spreads easily through wet hair.
- Peg-7 Glyceryl Cocoate — acts as a mild surfactant and conditioner, aiding slip and manageability.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine — a gentle surfactant that cleanses and lifts moisture without harsh stripping.
- Phenoxyethanol, Benzyl Alcohol, Parfum (Fragrance) — preserve the product and give a pleasant scent; use as directed and avoid contact with eyes.
- Cetrimonium Chloride, Polyquaternium-11, Polyquaternium-55 — conditioning polymers that help reduce frizz, improve detangling, and provide a soft, brushable finish.
- Sodium Chloride — salt used to adjust viscosity and styling hold within safe, cosmetic ranges.
- Panthenol (Vitamin B5) — nourishes strands, adds subtle shine, and helps retain moisture.
- Citric Acid — balances pH to help hair cuticles lay flat for a smoother appearance.
- Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter — rich emollient that moisturizes and supports curl formation without weighing down.
- Coumarin, Benzyl Benzoate, Hexyl Cinnamal — fragrance components; discontinue use if irritation occurs.
