The 100 points

What stands out 100 pts

We split Detox Shampoo into 3 standout parts. Each bar shows what the build earns.

  • ACleansing system54 of 54 pts

    The cleansing system sets how the shampoo lathers and how hard it washes. Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine do this job here.

  • BHumectants27 of 27 pts

    Humectants (Glycerin, Propylene Glycol) pull in water and keep the hair feeling soft.

  • CConditioning polymers19 of 19 pts

    Cationic conditioning polymers cling to wet hair and cut tangles. Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Polyquaternium-7 play that role here.
