Editor's Take
The protein story has substance, but the old-school silicone base and dated preservation make this harder to recommend than its excellent detangling suggests.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 7.8 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 4.5 / 10
- Clean Standards: 2.0 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 4.3 / 10
The Verdict
Efficacy is Strong: Dimethicone and Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine give dry, knot-prone hair dependable slip, while Hydrolyzed Keratin adds temporary smoothing. Clean is Very Poor, with DMDM Hydantoin and MI/MCI dragging an otherwise functional conditioner well outside stricter standards. The technology is conventional and sustainability fit is lower, largely because of persistent silicones and animal-derived proteins. Effective for quick detangling, but the throwback preservation keeps it off the credible shelf.
