Editor's Take
Among anti-frizz serums, this one earns its swagger: heat-activated polymers tackle humidity convincingly, but the persistent silicone-heavy base leaves a hefty environmental tab.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 8.5 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 7.8 / 10
- Clean Standards: 5.5 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 0.8 / 10
The Verdict
Polysilicone-29 and Amodimethicone give this serious smoothing power, especially when heat styling. Sea buckthorn oil, coconut oil, and panthenol add useful conditioning support, while fragrance and its disclosed allergens may matter to sensitive users. Fine hair may notice buildup from repeated use, and the formula’s persistent polymers and petroleum-derived base explain the dismal sustainability score. A high-performing frizz treatment with modern technique and an unmistakably old environmental footprint.
