Scent:
No added fragrance on the label, but it contains scenting botanicals. Essential oils have a smell even when they are not labelled as fragrance.

What the formula actually does
Read from the label, not the marketing
Each row says where it comes from: F means we derived it from this product’s own ingredient list, S means it is a claim the brand makes that the formula neither confirms nor contradicts.
Weight on the hair
Light
Water-first and light: unlikely to flatten fine hair.
Slip and detangling
Some
Some slip, mostly from esters or silicones rather than conditioners.
Needs detergent to remove
No
Nothing here needs a detergent wash to remove.
Water-binding (humectants)
High
Humectants near the top: binding water is one of its main jobs.
Fast-drying alcohol
None
No fast-drying alcohol in the list.
Fragrance
None listed
No fragrance is listed.

Ingredients that matter
The ingredients that change a decision
The workhorse ingredients, plus anything lower down that changes a decision. The chips name what an ingredient does. They are not safety scores, and no ingredient here is rated good or bad on its own.
| Ingredient | What it does | Why it matters | Chip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Organic Aloe Vera Juice | botanical extract | A plant extract, there as much for marketing as for function | Moisturizes |
| Ethylhexyl Olivate | light ester | Light slip without much weight | Softens |
| Sorbitan Oleate Decylglucoside CrosspolymerPoly Suga-Mulse D9 | emulsifier | Keeps oil and water mixed | Stabilizes |
| Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) OilLavender oil | botanical extract | A trace plant extract | Fragrance |
| Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Peel OilGrapefruit oil | fragrance | The scent | Fragrance |
| Eucalyptus Oil | botanical extract | A trace plant extract | Fragrance |
What the list leaves out, and what it carriesThe list carries no sulfates, silicones, or drying alcohols. No protein: a moisture formula, not a repair one.
Full ingredient list (6)
In the US, ingredients above 1% are listed from most to least. Below 1% they can appear in any order. Each note keeps three things apart: what the ingredient generally does, its role in this type of product, and what its position can tell you.
-
1
Organic Aloe Vera Juice
General function
The juice pressed from Organic Aloe. Used in place of some of the water in a formula, so it often sits high on the list.
Leading ingredientListed in the first three ingredients, it is likely a structural part of this formula.
- botanical extract
- humectant
-
2
Ethylhexyl Olivate
General function
A light olive-derived ester used as a plant alternative to silicone slip.
Leading ingredientListed in the first three ingredients, it is likely a structural part of this formula.
May suitFine or easily flattened hairA light emollient: it softens the surface with noticeably less weight than an oil or a butter.
May suitFrizz-prone, damaged, or high-friction hairSpreads thin and lowers friction between strands without the heaviness of a fixed oil.
- light ester
- emollient

Sorbitan Oleate Decylglucoside Crosspolymer
· Poly Suga-Mulse D9
General function
A plant-derived emulsifier used to build light creams and milks.

Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil
· Lavender oil
General function
Lavender essential oil, used for scent in aromatherapy-positioned products.
Estimated lower-concentration zoneIt appears around or below the estimated 1% line, where label order no longer indicates relative amount; its role may be minor or technical.
May not suitFragrance-sensitive routinesEssential oils are fragrance. Several carry constituents on the EU list of declared fragrance allergens, so a label with no fragrance line can still be a scented product.

- essential oil
- fragrance

General function
The essential oil of Grapefruit (Citrus Paradisi). Essential oils are aromatic — they are in the formula for scent, and they are a common source of declared fragrance allergens.
Estimated lower-concentration zoneIt appears around or below the estimated 1% line, where label order no longer indicates relative amount; its role may be minor or technical.
May not suitFragrance-sensitive routinesDeclared fragrance. On a fragrance-sensitive routine this is the line that decides it, wherever it sits on the label.

$28.004 oz · $7.00/ozOct 1Lowest per oz
Sorted by price per ounce. Dated observations from our research, not live prices. Direct store pages, no affiliate links. We don’t sell this product.
How we work this out
- 4 oz is the size stores list most often; every comparison on this page is made at it. Other sizes are shown in the Sizes row and the store list.
- Seen at $28 is the price we have observed for the 4 oz. We need three stores before we call a price commonly seen.
- Good value under $11 comes from the 6 products we score as doing the same job as this one. A quarter of them cost less than $2.75/oz; at 4 oz that is $11. Under that line you are paying less than most of them.
- About $18 is what those same products typically cost at this size: the midpoint of their prices per ounce, scaled to 4 oz.

The formula score measures completeness for the job: a weighted share of the systems this product type is usually built around that we find in this list. It does not rate how well the product works or its quality, and it never compares across product types.
Does the same job, for less
Formulas that do the same things (cleanse, condition, coat or hold) for less per ounce. Scent, texture and where you buy them can still differ.

Claims check
What the brand says, and what the formula shows
Claims are quoted from the brand. We mark a claim supported, partly supported or conflicting only when the ingredient list speaks to it. Everything else stays "stated by the brand". That isn’t a criticism: most claims can’t be checked from a label.

How to read this
We look at the first 10–15 ingredients and what they do in a formula, not at the marketing. If the list doesn't speak to a claim, we don't assume.
Reviewers
What people report
Themes that come up again and again in sourced reviews, written by our researchers in their own words. We don’t store or scrape star ratings.
Two reviewers describe a pleasant scent, which is notable since the brand's own label calls the product unscented.
general reviewers on the brand's own product pageMultiple reviewers say their hair feels less dry and brittle after blow-drying or curling with this product, including one who attributes it to aging, thinner hair.
general reviewers, one self-identifying as 51 with thinner hair than beforeReviewers consistently describe the spray as lightweight and non-heavy on the hair rather than a sticky, heavy protectant.

How this page was made
- Everything above comes from our researched product record: identity, the ingredient list as printed, the brand's own claims, dated prices and review themes our researchers wrote in their own words. No part of this page is written by hand for one product.
- 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.
- Both scores out of ten are defined on this page. The formula score is completeness for the job, computed from a fixed per-format checklist shown beneath the gauge; the price score is cost per ounce against every product of this type we have priced.
- 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.
- 1 source consulted for this product (0 manufacturer or regulatory, 0 retailer, 1 editorial), last checked 2026-10-01.
- Ingredient references are linked for 0 of 4 product-aware annotations on this page. Fit notes are general formulation guidance. They aren’t a verdict on the finished product or on you.
- We haven’t tested this product in a lab, and we don’t physically test your hair. Formula readings come from the ingredient list. Claims about how it behaves are labelled as the brand's.
- Ingredient order tells you relative amount only above roughly 1%. Prices are what we saw on the dates shown and can change.
- Ingredient names link to our ingredient library, where each entry shows what it does, which product types use it, and where it usually sits on a label across everything we have researched.
- This is cosmetic information, not medical advice, and nothing here diagnoses or treats a health condition.
- Formula readings: derivation v23. Record last updated 2026-10-01.
