Bumble and bumble Super Rich Hair Conditioner

Editor's Take

It earns its Super Rich name on detangling, but Behentrimonium Methosulfate and Dimethicone make this a polished old-school conditioner with a conspicuously heavy environmental tab.

Four-pillar formula scores

• Performance: 7.5 / 10
• Innovative Ingredients: 5.0 / 10
• Clean Standards: 5.8 / 10
• Formula Sustainability: 3.2 / 10

The Verdict

The fatty-alcohol and cationic base forms a stable lamellar network, so it should spread evenly, soften well, and make wet combing easier. Dimethicone adds gloss and surface smoothness, while glycerin helps retain moisture; this is conditioning, not repair. The compromise is a weak environmental profile involving persistent quats, silicone, EDTA, fragrance, and unnecessary synthetic dyes. A credible pick for stubborn tangles, but dated and environmentally costly beside newer rich conditioners.
