WHAT EACH INGREDIENT MEANS
Hydrogenated Ethylhexyl Olivate
An olive-based emollient that helps the serum
to be evenly distributed through the hair. It contributes to a smoother, softer and more
silky feel without being a conventional silicone.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
A light emollient triglyceride that also
serves as a carrier for other ingredients. It improves the serum's spreadability
and contributes to a smooth feel without the formula feeling heavy.
Parfum
The composite perfume that gives the product
its scent. The fragrance components that need to be declared separately are listed further down in
the INCI list for full transparency.
Polysorbate 80
A solubilizing and emulsifying ingredient
that helps oils, perfume and other components to be kept evenly distributed in
the formula.
Hydrogenated Olive Oil Unsaponifiables
The unsaponifiable part of olive oil in
stabilized form. The ingredient is used to soften and condition
the hair's surface and contributes to a smoother and more pliable finish.

It is used to support a smoother and more well-groomed feel on the hair's surface
and can help dry lengths feel less rough.

The sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. A moisture-binding
ingredient that helps to support a softer, more pliable and more moisturized
feel in the hair.

the formula's texture, stability and glide. It is not the same type of alcohol as
ethanol and is not associated with the drying feeling that the word alcohol can sometimes
imply.
Ethylhexyl Palmitate

to spread evenly through the hair and contributes to a smooth and less greasy feel.

WHY DOES THE LIST CONTAIN SO MANY TECHNICAL
NAMES?
INCI is the international and
standardized ingredient language of cosmetics. Therefore, well-known ingredients are written with their
official botanical or scientific names. Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil is
argan oil, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil is jojoba oil, Carthamus Tinctorius
Seed Oil is safflower oil, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil is sunflower oil, Tocopherol
is vitamin E and Panthenol is provitamin B5.
A long or technical name does not automatically mean
that an ingredient is strong, drying or unsuitable. Some
raw materials also consist of several components, and all of them need to be listed
separately in the INCI list. The longest names towards the end of the list are mainly
declared fragrance components.
