What the formula actually does
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.
Some slip, mostly from esters or silicones rather than conditioners.
Oils sit high in the list — a softening, coating formula.
Humectants in the working part of the formula.
Nothing here needs a detergent wash to remove.
Ingredients that matter
The workhorse ingredients plus anything lower down that changes a decision. These chips name what an ingredient does — they are not safety scores, and no ingredient here is rated good or bad on its own.

|---|---|---|---|
| White Petrolatum | — | — | Neutral |
| Isopropyl Myristate | light ester | Light slip without much weight | Softens |
| Paraffin Wax | — | — | Neutral |
| Paraffinum Liquidum | emollient | Softens and smooths the strand | Heavy |
| Polyethylene | — | — | Neutral |
| Polysorbate 20Polysorbate-20 | solubilizer | Keeps oils dissolved in water | Stabilizes |

US labelling rules put ingredients above 1% in descending order of amount; below 1% they may be listed in any order. Annotations keep three readings separate: the ingredient's general function, its role in this product type, and what its position can support.
A very light ester that makes products glide and disappear quickly on the hair.
Listed in the first three ingredients, it is likely a structural part of this formula.
A light emollient: it softens the surface with noticeably less weight than an oil or a butter.
Spreads thin and lowers friction between strands without the heaviness of a fixed oil.
Mineral oil under its European name. It seals the surface and adds slip, and takes a detergent to remove.
Listed in positions 4–8, it likely makes a meaningful contribution alongside the formula's main ingredients.
Coats the surface and slows water leaving the strand, which is usually what coarse hair that dries out fast is missing.
A thin oil layer lowers friction between strands and flattens the raised cuticle that scatters light and catches on its neighbours.
It does not disperse in water at all: removing it means a detergent wash, and until then it stays exactly where it landed.
Keeps fragrance and oils dissolved in a watery formula so it stays clear.
Listed in positions 4–8, it likely makes a meaningful contribution alongside the formula's main ingredients.
Produces the cooling, tingling feeling on the scalp. The sensation is real; it is not evidence that anything else is happening.
It appears around or below the estimated 1% line, where label order no longer indicates relative amount; its role may be minor or technical.
Declared fragrance. On a fragrance-sensitive routine this is the line that decides it, wherever it sits on the label.
Aloe gel, used for light moisture and slip. High in the list it also contributes a little natural hold.
It appears around or below the estimated 1% line, where label order no longer indicates relative amount; its role may be minor or technical.
Gums thicken and set soft, which gives definition that bends rather than a rigid cast.
Hydration with no oil attached, so it adds very little weight even high on a list.
Aloe is mostly water carrying sugars that bind more of it, which is why it turns up as the base of moisture-first formulas.
Peppermint essential oil, used for scent and the cooling feeling on the scalp.
It appears around or below the estimated 1% line, where label order no longer indicates relative amount; its role may be minor or technical.
Essential 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.

Price · 5 oz
Priced above the products that do the same job. Stores sell it above the $12 line; products that do this job typically go for about $13 at this size.
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.
Formula
Low cost per ounce, with a short formula: there is no conditioning agents up front here, and that is a system most scalp treatments carry.
The formula score is completeness for the job: the share of the systems this product type is normally built around that we can find in this list, weighted. It is not efficacy, not quality, and it never compares across product types.
Does the same job, for less
Same derived functions — what it cleans, conditions, coats or holds — at a lower cost per ounce. Scent, texture and where you buy it can still differ.

Final decision
Hair that craves moisture who want moisture that stays in and fewer ingredients to react to
Less suited to anyone sensitive to fragrance or anyone who wants to pick it up locally
We do not sell products or take placement fees. This page states what the formula and the prices show; the consultation is what matches it to a person.
Claims check
Claims are quoted from the brand. We only mark one supported, partly supported, or conflicting when the ingredient list actually speaks to it; everything else stays "stated by the brand", which is not a criticism — most claims simply cannot be read off a label.
This lightweight formula delivers long-lasting hydration while calming dryness and discomfort.
Humectants or rich emollients sit in the first eight ingredients.
Helps hair feel hydrated.
Perfect for daily use, it revitalizes the scalp and adds natural shine to curly and coily textures.
The formula carries a recognised shine system — silicone, oil, or light ester.
Reflects light for visible shine.
We look at the first 10–15 ingredients and what they do in a formula — not marketing. If the list doesn't speak to a claim, we don't assume.
