Editor's Take
Silicone-free conditioning that actually conditions , Behentrimonium Methosulfate and plant oils do the work, Niacinamide handles the scalp.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Efficacy: 7.8 / 10

- Clean Beauty: 9.0 / 10
- Sustainability: 8.5 / 10
The Verdict
This is a modern conditioner that skips silicones without sacrificing slip, leaning instead on a high-affinity cationic system and real botanical lipids like Avocado and Coconut oils. The formula earns its Strong efficacy score by pairing that conditioning base with scalp-barrier actives (Niacinamide, Panthenol) and a deposition aid to help everything stick in a rinse-off format. The only clean-framework friction is the quaternary ammonium compound at position 7, which keeps it out of the strictest certifications but doesn't compromise performance. Worth it if you want plant-based conditioning that works as well as the synthetic stuff.
