Editor's Take
For once, a curl gel earns its botanical billing: aloe leads, the hold is serious, and the fragrance is the one unnecessary flourish.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 8.8 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 8.2 / 10
- Clean Standards: 7.8 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 8.4 / 10
The Verdict
Efficacy is Exceptional, with Maltodextrin/VP Copolymer and Polyquaternium-69 providing durable hold for curl clumping and wash-day definition. Technology is Highly Advanced, while Clean is Excellent, helped by an Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice base rather than a standard water-first blend. Fragrance and persistent styling polymers keep it from cleaner-certification territory, though sustainability remains Good. A standout curl gel for firm, moisture-supported definition.
