The 100 points

What stands out 100 pts

We split Moroccanoil Treatment (Original) into 3 standout parts. Each bar shows what the build earns.

  • ASilicone and oil carrier52 of 52 pts

    The carrier (Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil) is most of the formula: it gives the slip, gloss and finish of the product.

  • BOils and butters31 of 31 pts

    Oils and butters (Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil) soften the hair and seal in moisture.

  • CSilicone smoothing17 of 17 pts

    Silicones add slip and shine and help cut combing damage. Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone do that here.
