Innersense Organic Beauty Serenity Smoothing Cream draws complaints about frizz.

Serenity Smoothing Cream

Hair styled easily with no noticeable flyaways or static

brand-site reviewer Dennene M.

Leaves hair smooth and shiny without weighing it down, stringy, or oily -- described as life-changing

brand-site reviewer Christy D., 5-star

A small amount goes a long way, leaving curls looking lush without needing much product

brand-site reviewer Breanna R., 5-star

Style only held up 3-4 hours before frizz returned

brand-site reviewer Judy C., 3-star

Felt more like a leave-in conditioner than a smoothing styler and didn't enhance waves as expected

brand-site reviewer Leah O., 3-star

Pomegranate & Honey Twisting Souffle

Some find it too heavy which can weigh down curls depending on hair porosity and thickness

Holds curl patterns beautifully for a week while maintaining shine and movement without greasiness

Exceptional moisturizing properties that leave curls soft, hydrated and defined for protective styles

How this page was made

  • This page is assembled from the same researched records the individual product pages render: identity, each ingredient list as printed, each brand's own claims, dated price observations, and review themes written in our researchers' own words. Nothing on it is written per comparison.
  • We do not rank these against each other. Which of them suits you depends on your hair, and that is what the consultation works out.
  • The formula similarity percentage is a stored, precomputed number: position-weighted overlap of the two ingredient lists blended with agreement on the attributes we derive. It measures how alike two formulas are, not how well either works.
  • The value band is a fixed label over two stored numbers: this product’s cost per ounce as a percentile of every product of this type we have priced, each at the size it is most often sold in, and how many products we score as doing the same job cost at least a quarter less per ounce.
  • The "Is this right for you?" panel reads only your own consultation answers, and it applies exactly the filters our recommendation engine applies. It is computed when you load the page and is never stored on it.
  • 5 sources were consulted across the products on this page.
  • Ingredient order tells you relative amount only above roughly 1%. Prices are observations on the dates shown and change without notice. We do not sell these products and take no placement fees.
  • This is cosmetic information, not medical advice, and nothing here diagnoses or treats a health condition.
