The supporting cast

The rest of the formula, in plain English.

The six plant oils and extracts get the spotlight. A conditioner also needs ingredients that soften, blend and keep it stable, and some of them are made in a lab.

Conditioning

Softness, slip and less static.

Cetearyl Alcohol
A waxy fatty alcohol that thickens and softens. It is a different ingredient from drying alcohols.
Ceteartrimonium Chloride
A conditioning agent made in a lab. It helps hair detangle and reduces static.

Texture and blending

Keeps oil and water together.

Glyceryl Stearate
An emulsifier made from glycerin and stearic acid. It blends the oils and water and thickens the formula.
PEG-100 Stearate
An emulsifier that helps oils and water stay blended.
Polysorbate 60
Another emulsifier that keeps the formula smooth and even.
Hydroxyethylcellulose
A thickener made by modifying cellulose from plant fibre.
Butylene Glycol
A solvent that helps blend ingredients and holds moisture.
Alcohol
Ethanol, a simple alcohol that helps dissolve and blend other ingredients.

Freshness and stability

Keeps every bottle the same.

DMDM Hydantoin
A preservative that protects against bacteria and mould. It releases very small amounts of formaldehyde.
Hydroxyacetophenone
An antioxidant made in a lab. It supports the preservative.
Disodium EDTA
A chelating agent that binds metal ions so the formula stays stable.
Citric Acid
Adjusts the pH.
Disodium Phosphate and Sodium Phosphate
Buffers that keep the pH steady.
What you won’t find

Made without.

  • Sulphates

  • Parabens

  • Minoxidil

  • Finasteride

  • Animal testing
