How the score is calculated
  • Actives and evidence0.6Actives with strong evidence: 0 of 2
  • Completeness for the purpose1.0For “protection from heat styling” — 100 %; hydrolysed wheat protein; could be added without conflict: hydrolysed wheat protein; a broad formula across 4 purposes
  • Tolerance0.9Debatable ingredient groups: fragrance and its allergens (skin test positive in 13 of 100 tested)
  • adults
  • children
  • pregnancyallowed per the leaflet
  • babies
  • gluten-freethis is a wheat protein — if you avoid wheat, choose another protein
  • sensitive skinirritation possible
  • atopic skinfragrance is a common trigger
Free from:
  • alcohol (alcohol denat) · by the listthe list has no ingredient of the “denatured alcohol” group — evaporates fast and degreases; frequent contact can dry the skin — a tolerance question, not a regulatory one; does not clog pores
  • sulfates (SLS/SLES) · by the listthe list has no ingredient of the “ammonium laureth sulfate (ALES), ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS), sodium coco-sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), sodium myreth sulfate, TEA-lauryl sulfate” group — a cleansing surfactant from the sulfate family but with an ethoxylated chain: it cleanses more gently than lauryl sulfate. Still not for those looking for a sulfate-free product.
  • formaldehyde releasers · by the listthe list has no ingredient of the “formaldehyde releasers” group — preservatives that slowly release formaldehyde; allowed at low levels but a frequent cause of contact allergy
  • isothiazolinones (MIT/MCI) · by the listthe list has no ingredient of the “isothiazolinone preservatives (MIT/MCI)” group — preservatives; banned in EU leave-on products and limited in rinse-off (0.0015%) — a frequent cause of contact allergy
  • parabens · by the listthe list has no ingredient of the “parabens” group — preservatives; methyl- and ethylparaben are recognised as safe at permitted levels, propyl- and butyl- are limited by the EU to 0.14 %; a frequent buyer question rather than proven harm
  • mineral oils and petrolatum · by the listthe list has no ingredient of the “petrolatum and mineral oils” group — purified cosmetic-grade petroleum products: form a protective barrier film; safety is established, a preference question; 0–2 of 5 (depends on the raw-material source), cosmetic white oil per DiNardo (2005) is non-comedogenic
  • soap · by the listthe list has no ingredient of the “potassium soap (potassium cocoate), plant soap base (sodium palmate, sodium cocoate), tallow soap base (sodium tallowate)” group — liquid soap: fatty acids boiled with alkali. It cleanses well, but its acidity is around 9-10 against 5 for skin, which is why it often leaves tightness. The product is rinsed off, so the question is tolerance.
  • gelatin in the coating · by the listthe list has no ingredient of the “vegetarian coating” group — a plant-based tablet coating instead of gelatin; it keeps moisture out and makes swallowing easier
  • toning dyes · by the listthe list has no ingredient of the “violet toning dyes” group — direct dyes that settle on the hair surface and cancel the yellow cast of blonde; they wash out in 1–3 washes and leave a lilac tint if left too long; HC Blue 2 and Disperse Violet 1 are known contact allergens of hair dyes
  • tar · by the listthe list has no ingredient of the “wood (birch) tar” group — a traditional remedy for dandruff and itching with a sharp smell; it reduces flaking, but can irritate a sensitive scalp and dries the hair
What for: A dryer and a flat iron heat hair above 200 °C and break down its protein. Hair cannot be fully protected, but a polymer film and an oil on the surface noticeably reduce breakage — this was measured on tresses in the laboratory.
When:
  • leave-on
in a mask or conditioner after washing, along the length
When to expect an effect: smoothness — immediately, until the next wash; soothing — days; barrier — 2–4 weeks

Ingredients — 16 components · 2 work

What works: 2 of 16 ingredients: hydrolysed wheat protein, panthenol. A dryer and a flat iron heat hair above 200 °C and break down its protein. Hair cannot be fully protected, but a polymer film and an oil on the surface noticeably reduce breakage — this was measured on tresses in the laboratory.

Strengths: completeness for the purpose, tolerance

What lowers the score: actives and evidence: actives with strong evidence: 0 of 2

Questions: fragrance and its allergens: fragrance, linalool, limonene — the fragrance and its aromatic components; the EU requires 26 of them to be listed separately — matters to people allergic to fragrance, does not affect how the product works

  • Aqua base: coating, fillers · water — the solvent and base; listed first because there is more of it than anything else; in supplements — part of the capsule shell
  • Trehalose base: coating, fillers · a sugar humectant: it holds water in the skin and protects cell membranes when it dries out.
  • Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate label wording · an allergen (sodium (salt)) — matters when limiting salt, for example with blood pressure; the label says it is absent
  • Propylene Glycol base: coating, fillers · humectants and solvents — hold water and help actives dissolve
  • Hydrolyzed Wheat Proteins works · the active ingredient — what the product is for; form: wheat protein hydrolysate
  • Hydrolyzed Rye Proteins base: coating, fillers · proteins cut into short pieces: they settle on hair and skin as a film and make hair smooth and denser to the touch.
  • Hydrolyzed Oats Proteins base: coating, fillers · proteins cut into short pieces: they settle on hair and skin as a film and make hair smooth and denser to the touch.
  • Hydrolyzed Rice Proteins base: coating, fillers · proteins cut into short pieces: they settle on hair and skin as a film and make hair smooth and denser to the touch.
  • Betaine base: coating, fillers · draws water in and holds it in the upper layer of the skin
  • Panthenol works · the active ingredient — what the product is for; form: panthenol
  • PEG-12 Dimethicone base: coating, fillers · form a smooth film and shine; inert and not absorbed — a preference question, not a safety one
  • PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil base: coating, fillers · coating glazing agent
  • Phenoxyethanol base: coating, fillers · the most widespread cosmetic preservative: it keeps the product sterile. Permitted in the EU up to 1 %, recognised as safe at that level.
  • Ethylhexylglycerin base: coating, fillers · a preservative booster and skin-conditioning ingredient: it barely preserves on its own but helps phenoxyethanol work and lowers the amount needed.
  • Parfum questions · the fragrance and its aromatic components; the EU requires 26 of them to be listed separately — matters to people allergic to fragrance, does not affect how the product works
  • Linalool questions · the fragrance and its aromatic components; the EU requires 26 of them to be listed separately — matters to people allergic to fragrance, does not affect how the product works
  • Limonene questions · the fragrance and its aromatic components; the EU requires 26 of them to be listed separately — matters to people allergic to fragrance, does not affect how the product works
