How the score is calculated
  • Actives and evidence0.5Actives with strong evidence: 1 of 6
  • Completeness for the purpose1.0For “dry and damaged hair” — 100 %; a narrow formula for one purpose
  • Tolerance0.8Rinse-off product; debatable groups: menthol, parabens (skin test positive in 1 of 100 tested), fragrance and its allergens (skin test positive in 13 of 100 tested)
  • adults
  • pregnancyallowed per the leaflet
  • dry skin
  • children
  • colour-treated hair
  • sensitive skina frequent cause of burning and tingling
  • atopic skinfragrance is a common trigger
  • acne-pronemay clog pores in leave-on face products
  • rosaceaincreases redness
  • babiesnot applied to a baby face or near the nose
  • prone to contact allergya rare but known allergen
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
  • 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: Damaged hair is helped on two fronts: oils that penetrate the shaft (only coconut oil is proven) and a film on the outside — silicones, panthenol, hydrolysed proteins. One from each front is enough; “collagen” and “biotin” in a shampoo work only on the label.
When:
  • when washing, rinsed off
  • morning
  • evening
morning and evening, under a moisturiser
When to expect an effect: hydration — days; wrinkles and spots — no reliable timeline; smoothness — right away, until the next wash; hydration — right away, lasts while the film stays on the skin; barrier, dryness — 2–4 weeks; hydration — right away; calming of irritation — 1–2 weeks; softness and shine — right away, until the next wash
What is normal: a slightly tacky texture; a film feel, slight tackiness; too much makes the roots look greasy

Ingredients — 28 components · 6 work

What works: 6 of 28 ingredients: snail mucin, collagen, polyglutamic acid and 3 more.

Strengths: completeness for the purpose

What lowers the score: actives and evidence: actives with strong evidence: 1 of 6; tolerance: rinse-off product

Questions: menthol — gives a cooling sensation and mild numbing. It irritates sensitive skin and mucous membranes, and it worsens redness in rosacea.; parabens: methylparaben, propylparaben — 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; fragrance and its allergens: perfume

  • Water 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
  • Cetearyl Alcohol base: coating, fillers · a fatty-alcohol blend (C16–C18), an emulsifier and thickener, does not dry the skin; paired with ceteareth-20 — 4 of 5; rarely clogs pores in leave-on face products
  • Propylene Glycol base: coating, fillers · humectants and solvents — hold water and help actives dissolve
  • Steartrimonium Chloride base: coating, fillers · stops bacteria and mould growing in the jar
  • Dimethicone base: coating, fillers · form a smooth film and shine; inert and not absorbed — a preference question, not a safety one
  • Mineral Oil base: coating, fillers · 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
  • Glyceryl Stearate SE base: coating, fillers · self-emulsifying glyceryl stearate with added sodium or potassium stearate — the additive is what makes it more comedogenic than the neutral form; may clog pores in leave-on face products
  • Cyclomethicone base: coating, fillers · form a smooth film and shine; inert and not absorbed — a preference question, not a safety one
  • Glycerin base: coating, fillers · a humectant: coats the tablet, holds moisture in creams and shampoos; does not clog pores
  • Snail Secretion Filtrate works · the active ingredient — what the product is for; form: snail secretion filtrate
  • Betaine base: coating, fillers · draws water in and holds it in the upper layer of the skin
  • Camellia Sinensis Extract base: coating, fillers · plant and algae extracts and floral waters: flavouring and marketing components — at these shares there is no proven effect on the skin; rare reactions in people allergic to that particular plant
  • Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Extract base: coating, fillers · plant and algae extracts and floral waters: flavouring and marketing components — at these shares there is no proven effect on the skin; rare reactions in people allergic to that particular plant
  • Hydrolyzed Collagen works · the active ingredient — what the product is for; form: hydrolysed (type not stated)
  • Polyglutamic Acid works · the active ingredient — what the product is for; form: polyglutamic acid / sodium polyglutamate
  • Menthol questions · gives a cooling sensation and mild numbing. It irritates sensitive skin and mucous membranes, and it worsens redness in rosacea.
  • Ceramide NP works · the active ingredient — what the product is for; form: ceramides NP, AP, EOP
  • Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice works · the active ingredient — what the product is for; form: aloe gel
  • Rose Extract base: coating, fillers · plant and algae extracts and floral waters: flavouring and marketing components — at these shares there is no proven effect on the skin; rare reactions in people allergic to that particular plant
  • Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil works · the active ingredient — what the product is for; form: argan oil
  • PEG-45M base: coating, fillers · coating glazing agent
  • Dimethiconol base: coating, fillers · form a smooth film and shine; inert and not absorbed — a preference question, not a safety one
  • Benzophenone-5 base: coating, fillers · absorbs or reflects ultraviolet light to protect the skin
  • Disodium EDTA base: coating, fillers · bind hard-water metals so the formula stays stable and the foam works
  • Methylparaben questions · 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
  • Propylparaben questions · 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
  • Neutralization Reaction Product base: coating, fillers · tune the acidity and texture; salt is a common shampoo thickener
  • Perfume 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
