by Unite · hair_care
Editor's Take
Amodimethicone and quats deliver genuine detangling power, but the high alcohol base and cyclic silicone D4 drag clean and sustainability scores below 5.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Efficacy: 7.4 / 10
- Modern Tech: 5.0 / 10
- Clean Beauty: 2.0 / 10
- Sustainability: 4.3 / 10
The Verdict
This leave-in earns its 7.4 efficacy score through targeted Amodimethicone conditioning and dual quaternary detanglers , it genuinely smooths and protects damaged hair. The technology is competent but dated: a legacy hydro-alcoholic carrier system paired with silicone deposition chemistry that works but isn't modern. The clean score sits at 2.0 due to cyclic silicone D4, multiple quats, ethoxylates, and undisclosed fragrance; sustainability follows at 4.3, weighed down by persistent silicones and petrochemical conditioning agents. Worth it for instant slip on compromised hair, but the formula belongs to an earlier generation of leave-in chemistry.
