Partial credit means the part only partly matches that standout.
The 100 points
We split Anti-Frizz Creme into 5 standout parts. Each bar shows what the build earns.
Film-formers and polymers (Polyacrylate-13, Brassica Campestris/Aleurites Fordi Oil Copolymer) give hold, set and heat or humidity resistance.
Humectants (Glycerin) pull in water and keep the hair feeling soft.
Oils and butters (C13-15 Alkane, Ethylhexyl Olivate, Squalane) soften the hair and seal in moisture.
Silicones add slip and shine and help cut combing damage. Dimethicone do that here.
Hydrolyzed proteins and amino acids (Arginine) are added to coat and temporarily fill rough spots on the hair surface.
