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.
Hold system
Synthetic polymer
Synthetic hold polymers, the firmest kind of hold.
Cast risk

Film formers with little to soften them, so expect a cast to scrunch out.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lactobacillus/Arundinaria Gigantea Ferment Filtrate | botanical extract | A plant extract, there as much for marketing as for function | Stabilizes |
| Alcohol Denat. | drying alcohol | Sets the style fast, which is also why it can feel dry | Drying |
| Lactobacillus Ferment | preservative | Keeps the product from spoiling | Stabilizes |
| Pisum Sativum (Pea) Peptide | protein | Firms up soft, over-stretchy hair | Protein |
| Salvia Hispanica Seed ExtractSalvia Hispanica (Chia) Seed Extract | botanical extract | A plant extract, there as much for marketing as for function | Neutral |

| Lactobacillus | botanical extract | A trace plant extract | Stabilizes |
What the list leaves out, and what it carriesThe list carries no sulfates, silicones, or fragrance. Protein sits high: this is a strengthening step rather than a moisture one. Hard-water chelators are present. Contains fast-drying alcohol.
Full ingredient list (21)
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
Lactobacillus/Arundinaria Gigantea Ferment Filtrate
General function
Bamboo fermented with lactobacillus, used for conditioning and to support preservation.
Leading ingredientListed in the first three ingredients, it is likely a structural part of this formula.
- botanical extract
- preservative
-
2
Alcohol Denat.
General function
Fast-drying alcohol used to make sprays set quickly. In leave-on products it can leave hair feeling dry, especially in high position on the list.
Leading ingredientListed in the first three ingredients, it is likely a structural part of this formula.
PubChemMay suitFine or easily flattened hairEvaporates on contact, which is how a spray sets almost instantly and leaves no weight behind it.
May not suitDry, coarse, or high-porosity hairPorous hair gives water up easily as it is; a fast-evaporating solvent high on the list accelerates that.
May not suitVery dry or highly damaged hairIt evaporates quickly and takes some water with it. On hair already short of moisture, a formula built on a lot of it can finish drier than it started.

Lactobacillus Ferment
General function
A fermentation filtrate used as a gentle preservative in formulas positioned as preservative-free.
Leading ingredientListed in the first three ingredients, it is likely a structural part of this formula.
- preservative
- botanical extract
-
4
Pisum Sativum (Pea) Peptide
General function
A short-chain pea protein used for strength and body claims in vegan formulas.
Supporting ingredientListed in positions 4–8, it likely makes a meaningful contribution alongside the formula's main ingredients.
May not suitProtein-sensitive hairA large surface-depositing protein. If protein reliably makes your hair feel rigid, this is the form most likely to do it.
DependsVery dry or highly damaged hairUnhydrolysed protein is too large to enter the strand. It sits on the surface, which is a coating effect rather than internal reinforcement.

Salvia Hispanica Seed Extract

General function
Chia seed extract, used at low levels for moisture claims.
Supporting ingredientListed in positions 4–8, it likely makes a meaningful contribution alongside the formula's main ingredients.
- botanical extract

Phyllostachys Bambusoides Extract
General function
An extract of Phyllostachys Bambusoides. Plant extracts are used across a wide range of levels, and label order is the best guide to how much is here.
Supporting ingredientListed in positions 4–8, it likely makes a meaningful contribution alongside the formula's main ingredients.
- botanical extract
-
7
Bambusa Vulgaris Shoot Extract
General function
An extract from the shoot of Bambusa Vulgaris. Plant extracts are used across a wide range of levels, and label order is the best guide to how much is here.
Supporting ingredientListed in positions 4–8, it likely makes a meaningful contribution alongside the formula's main ingredients.

VP/VA Copolymer
General function
A hold polymer that dries to a clear film. It sets the style and washes out with water.
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 suitClimate-sensitive or frizz-prone hairA set polymer film is a physical barrier to humidity, so a style keeps its shape longer in damp conditions.
May suitMaximum-hold stylingSynthetic film formers dry into a continuous film, which is what holds a shape against movement and against humid air.

Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside
General function
A very mild sugar-derived cleanser, often used to boost the foam of other gentle surfactants.
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 suitDry, coarse, or high-porosity hairMild cleansing leaves more surface lubrication in place on hair that dries out quickly.
May suitVery dry or highly damaged hairA sugar-derived non-ionic detergent, among the gentlest in use. It cleanses with little foam of its own and little sebum removal.
May not suitBuild-up-sensitive routinesGentle cleansing leaves water-insoluble deposits largely in place; they come off with a stronger wash, not this one.

How we work this out
- 5 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 $30 is the price we have observed for the 5 oz. We need three stores before we call a price commonly seen.
- Good value under $6 comes from the 7 products we score as doing the same job as this one. A quarter of them cost less than $1.15/oz; at 5 oz that is $6. Under that line you are paying less than most of them.
- About $14 is what those same products typically cost at this size: the midpoint of their prices per ounce, scaled to 5 oz.

Nothing separates this from the middle of the range for volumizers, on formula or on cost per ounce.
How the score is counted
- 6 products that do the same job cost less per ounce
- Costs more per ounce than 54% of the 143 volumizers we’ve priced
- No softeners alongside the hold in the formula

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 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.
- 3 sources consulted for this product (1 manufacturer or regulatory, 2 retailer, 0 editorial), last checked 2026-10-31.
- Ingredient references are linked for 2 of 5 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 2026-08-27.
