Editor's Take
Silicone-free curl gel that leans on plant-derived film-formers and actual ceramides, not the usual synthetic plastics.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 7.4 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 6.8 / 10
- Clean Standards: 8.3 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 9.1 / 10
The Verdict
This gel earns its modern technology score by replacing conventional styling polymers with botanical film-formers and barrier lipids. The ceramide and phospholipid inclusion is rare for the category, offering genuine hair-health support alongside medium hold. The strong clean score reflects a mostly plant-derived base, though synthetic fragrance and a few disclosed allergens keep it from perfect. Worth it for curl definition that doesn't compromise strand integrity.
