Formulation view Structured around behentrimonium chloride for cationic conditioning, paired with wheat bran extract and germ oil for nourishment. pH is adjusted with citric acid, and linoleic acid supports scalp health. Ideal for dry, damaged hair seeking smoothness. Note: Multiple fragrance allergens and photostabilizers are present, requiring caution for sensitive scalps; microbial control relies on the cationic system.
