Formulation view Leave-in conditioner using cyclomethicone and dimethicone for smoothness, with polyquaternium-7 for adhesion. Panthenol, soy, and plant oils (argan, grape seed, olive) nourish and repair. Hydrolyzed keratin strengthens hair. Preserved with phenoxyethanol. Ideal for damaged hair combing. Formulators note high silicone content may cause flattening with frequent use, suggesting alternating with clarifying treatments.

Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Octyldodecanol
- Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.
- Polyacrylamide
- Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66
- Dimethiconol
- Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.
- PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone
- PEG/PPG siloxane; emulsifier/thickener; low irrit, watch PEG total conc limits
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Glycine Soja Seed Extract
- Soybean extract for skin conditioning; low allergen risk, monitor batch protein variability.
- Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil
- Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants
- Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil
- Grapeseed oil, lightweight emollient and antioxidant; high linoleic acid, suitable for oily and combination skin.
- Olea Europaea Fruit Oil
- Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Sesamum Indicum Seed Oil
- Sesame seed oil for skin and hair conditioning, natural fragrance; prone to oxidation, keep dark
- Hydrolyzed Keratin
- Hydrolyzed keratin; small peptides; barrier repair, humectant, no pub comed data
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- C13-14 Isoparaffin
- Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature
- Polyquaternium-7
- Not decoded yet
- Laureth-7
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Eugenol
- Potent natural fragrance, EU restriction III/71; listed allergen, max 5%, caution for sensitive skin
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Caramel
- Colorant for brown shades; some processes involve sulfites, check specs.
- Red 40
- Common water-soluble synthetic dye; azo-based, potential sensitizer; check local prohibited colorant lists
- Yellow 5
- Synthetic dye for color; known allergen, may irritate sensitive skin.
