Super Clean Sculpting Gel

Editor's Take
Good old salon hold with Polyquaternium-11 doing the grip, but the clean score collapses under throwback drugstore chemistry.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 7.5 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 5.0 / 10
- Clean Standards: 1.3 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 6.9 / 10
The Verdict
Efficacy is Strong: Polyquaternium-11 and Hydroxyethylcellulose should give firm, glossy hold with enough glide to rake through damp hair. Panthenol and Hydrolyzed Soy Protein help soften the crunch, so this makes sense for sculpted wet looks, slick ponytails, or short-hair control. Clean is the problem: Polysorbate 20, Oleth-20, PEG-12 Dimethicone, fragrance, and quats put it far outside stricter clean-beauty territory. Worth it for dependable salon gel hold, not for anyone trying to clean up their styling shelf.
