Formulation view Cationic conditioner base with caffeine, biotin, and amino acids for hair strengthening. Hydrolyzed keratin and ginseng provide nutrition and repair. Sodium benzoate preserves the formula, ideal for damaged hair needing intensive care. Formulators noted cationic polymers adsorb to hair for slip, but charge density must be managed to avoid stiffness, best paired with gentle shampoos.
