Klorane Oat and Ceramide Dry Shampoo

Klorane Oat and Ceramide Dry Shampoo is a product whose active ingredient is rice starch. The concentration is not declared, but the active sits above the 1 % line in the list — a working share is likely. There is little evidence of effect: absorbs sebum and adds volume — works mechanically until washed out; data come from a hair-cosmetics review; no clinical trials of dry shampoos. The formula has 14 ingredients, 1 of which does the work; the rest is the formula base. Worth noting: ALCOHOL* (evaporates fast and degreases; frequent contact can dry the skin — a tolerance question, not a regulatory one; does not clog pores); FRAGRANCE (PARFUM)* (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). An oily scalp needs either absorbents (dry shampoo) or sebum-reducing actives (zinc PCA, salicylic acid) and a cleansing base without heavy films. By the list, no sulfates (SLS/SLES), formaldehyde releasers, isothiazolinones (MIT/MCI), parabens, mineral oils and petrolatum, soap, silicones, gelatin in the coating, toning dyes, tar. Suitable for: adults, pregnancy, oily scalp. dark hair, dry scalp, dry skin, sensitive skin, acne-prone, atopic skin — ask a doctor. fragrance allergy — not without a doctor. Use: on the roots between washes, brush out after a minute. When to expect an effect: freshness — immediately, until the next wash. Label score — 7.2 out of 10 (little evidence of effect; mild surfactants: mild surfactants and emulsifiers; irritation potential of the base — 15 % of sls; debatable ingredient groups: denatured alcohol, fragrance and its allergens (skin test positive in 13 of 100 tested)). Per the pack: keep away from fire, do not spray near an open flame, avoid contact with the eyes. A restatement of the label, not an assessment.
