K18 AstroLift™ Reparative Volume Spray

Editor's Take
For limp roots, this earns its lift with real K18Peptide™ repair, but the Alcohol Denat. and polymer load make it a performance pick, not a clean one.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 8.4 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 8.8 / 10
- Clean Standards: 1.0 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 4.8 / 10
The Verdict
The upside is clear: strong efficacy alignment, with Maltodextrin/VP Copolymer and PVP giving quick root lift while sh-Oligopeptide-78 brings K18's repair story into a styling spray. The technology is Highly Advanced for the category, especially compared with standard volumizing sprays that stop at stiff hold and shine. Clean is the bill payer here: Alcohol Denat. drives the fast dry-down, while Polysorbate 20, Phenoxyethanol, fragrance, and synthetic hold polymers drag the clean score to 1. Sustainability lands in the Mixed band, so this is worth it for fast volume on wash day when performance matters more than clean-label purity.
