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.
Nothing here is built to reduce combing force.
No humectants, so nothing here pulls water into the hair.
No over-the-counter scalp active.
Nothing here needs a detergent wash to remove.
Fragrance is listed; it sits below the working ingredients.
Ingredients that matter
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.

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.
Coconut soap, used in shampoo bars. Being alkaline, it usually needs an acidic rinse to keep the cuticle flat.
Listed in the first three ingredients, it is likely a structural part of this formula.
Cleansing is what lifts deposited films off the strand. How completely depends on which detergent it is and how high on the list it sits.
Every detergent removes some sebum along with the product it is there to wash out. Which detergent it is matters more than that there is one.
A thick, tacky oil used for sealing ends and for slick, held-down styles.
Listed in the first three ingredients, it is likely a structural part of this formula.
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.
Near the top of a list an oil is weight before it is anything else, and fine hair shows that first at the roots.
The essential oil of Sun. Essential oils are aromatic — they are in the formula for scent, and they are a common source of declared fragrance allergens.
Listed in the first three ingredients, it is likely a structural part of this formula.
A medium-weight oil used for softness and slip.
Listed in positions 4–8, it likely makes a meaningful contribution alongside the formula's main ingredients.

Table salt. In shampoo it is used to thicken the liquid, not to treat the hair.
Listed in positions 4–8, it likely makes a meaningful contribution alongside the formula's main ingredients.
Vitamin E. It keeps the oils in a formula from going rancid and is used at very low levels.
It appears around or below the estimated 1% line, where label order no longer indicates relative amount; its role may be minor or technical.
An undisclosed blend of scent ingredients. Regulations let it stay unlisted, so a fragrance-free product is the only way to be certain what is not in it.
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.

Formula
It costs more per ounce than 84% of the 1544 shampoos we’ve priced, and the formula leaves out working detergent system, which most of the format carries.
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.

Final decision
Coarse, dry, or high-porosity hair, looking for a formula with real substance and fewer ingredients to react to
Less suited to anyone sensitive to fragrance, oily scalps and fine hair, or hair that tangles the moment it is wet
Nothing in our library matches it closely at a lower price.
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 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.
