The 100 points
We split Hair Gloss In-Shower Shine Treatment into 5 standout parts. Each bar shows what the build earns.
The conditioning base (Cetearyl Alcohol, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride) is what coats and detangles the hair after the rinse. A shelf formula with the same kind of base does the same job.
Oils and butters (Isohexadecane, C13-15 Alkane, Hydrogenated Castor Oil/Sebacic Acid Copolymer) soften the hair and seal in moisture.
Hydrolyzed proteins and amino acids (Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid) are added to coat and temporarily fill rough spots on the hair surface.
Humectants (Propanediol, Glycerin, Panthenol) pull in water and keep the hair feeling soft.
Silicones add slip and shine and help cut combing damage. Dimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Dimethiconol do that here.
Optional
91 / 100. We have not found a shelf product that closes more of the gap yet.
