Details
A finishing serum for frizz, rough cuticles, and dry split ends. Five ingredients, each printed as an exact percentage summing to 100.0 percent.
- The Category Shortcut: Most hair serums are 90 percent or more silicone: cyclopentasiloxane with dimethicone. Silicone fills cuticle cracks, adds instant artificial shine, and cuts combing friction. But it does not repair or feed hair. Over weeks it forms a stubborn coating that requires harsh sulfate washes to strip, restarting the cycle.
- The Botanical Choice: This bottle is the other choice. Cold-pressed virgin Moroccan Argan oil (20.0%) delivers oleic and linoleic fatty acids into cuticular micro-fissures. Golden Jojoba wax ester (15.4%) mimics native 18-MEA cuticular lipids and scalp sebum, repelling humidity and arresting frizz without synthetic buildup.
- Dry-Touch Spreading: Balanced with light fractionated coconut ester (38.0%) and plant squalane from olives (26.0%), providing an ultra-light, non-greasy spread that absorbs in 2 to 3 minutes with zero heavy residue.
- Honest Trade-Off (Heat Styling): If you flat-iron or curl with extreme heat tools (230°C / 450°F) daily, a silicone serum shields against heat better than this one. Plant oils smoke at lower temperatures (~190°C–215°C). We would rather state that than sell a silicone-free serum that quietly compromises your hair under a flat-iron.
- Honest Trade-Off (Absorption): Silicone gives synthetic slip in four seconds; natural plant lipids take a few minutes to settle into cuticle scales. Two to three drops is genuinely the full dose. Overdo it on fine hair and it goes flat.
- How to Use: Dispense 2 to 3 drops into palms, rub together, and smooth evenly through mid-lengths and ends of damp or dry hair. Mid-lengths and ends only; never the scalp (100% lipid blend).
- Packaging: Heavy Type III pharmaceutical amber glass bottle with a calibrated precision glass dropper (matt black bulb, anodised black aluminium collar) and unlaminated white-top kraft carton.
Product information
Ingredients (INCI), in descending order, with percentages
- Full ingredient list (INCI)
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (38.0%), Squalane (26.0%), Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil (20.0%), Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil (15.4%), Tocopherol (0.6%). Exactly 100.0% w/w.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Fractionated coconut ester)
- 38.0 percent. Medium-chain ester carrier from coconut oil. Low viscosity (~15–20 cSt) that breaks oil surface tension and provides a light, dry-touch cascading slip.
- Squalane (Olive-derived biomimetic lipid)
- 26.0 percent. Saturated C30 hydrocarbon from olives (sugarcane dual-source, >=99% purity). Non-oxidising lipid mimicking natural sebum; restores cuticular slip without silicone accumulation.
- Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil (Cold-pressed virgin argan)
- 20.0 percent. Pure cold-pressed unrefined Moroccan virgin oil. Active dose rich in oleic and linoleic fatty acids, natural polyphenols, and phytosterols for rough ends.
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil (Cold-pressed golden jojoba wax ester)
- 15.4 percent. Cold-pressed golden liquid wax ester structurally identical to the cuticle's native 18-MEA lipid layer. Forms a breathable hydrophobic seal against humidity.
- The 1 percent line
- Falls after Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil (15.4%). All five ingredients are quantitatively declared to the tenth of a percent and sum to exactly 100.00 percent.
- Tocopherol (Natural mixed vitamin E)
- 0.6 percent. Natural mixed d-alpha, beta, gamma, delta tocopherols. Potent chain-breaking antioxidant holding peroxide value below 2.0 meq oxygen per kg.
- Cold-pressed botanical lipids
- 35.4 percent of the bottle (Argan 20.0% + Jojoba 15.4%). Unprecedented real active dose compared to category benchmarks that carry less than 1 percent.
- Preservative
- None. The formulation is 100 percent anhydrous with water activity aw < 0.20. Under ISO 29621 and IS 14648, microbial growth is impossible and preservatives are omitted.
- Peroxide value
- Under 2.0 meq active oxygen per kg on finished blend, tested per lot to ensure absolute lipid freshness.
- Tested fill by weight
- 30 ml is 27.0 g net fill; 50 ml is 45.0 g net fill at a measured bulk density of 0.900 g per ml.
What is left out, and what took its place
- What is in a normal serum
- Cyclopentasiloxane (D5) with dimethicone or dimethiconol, frequently 90 percent or more of the bottle, sold under words like smoothing complex or keratin repair.
- What silicone does
- Fills cuticle gaps, cuts combing force sharply, adds immediate shine, and shields against hot tools.
- What silicone does not do
- It does not repair or nourish hair. Hair is dead keratin; silicone is an inert plastic coating that accumulates until a harsh sulfate clarifying wash strips it off.
- In this bottle
- Zero silicone. No dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane, amodimethicone, or phenyl trimethicone.
- Honest trade-off: heat styling
- If you flat-iron or curl with extreme heat tools (230°C / 450°F) daily, a silicone serum shields better. Plant oils smoke at lower temperatures (~190°C–215°C). We would rather say that than sell a silicone-free line that quietly costs you hair.
- Honest trade-off: instant slip
- Silicone gives synthetic slip in four seconds; natural plant lipids take 2 to 3 minutes to settle. Two to three drops is genuinely the full dose. Overdo it on fine hair and it goes flat.
- What that buys you
- Genuine 18-MEA cuticular lipid replenishment. Nothing accumulates, so no harsh clarifying wash is needed to reset the hair.
- Not present
- Silicones, mineral oil, liquid paraffin, synthetic fragrance, essential oils, parabens, dyes, alcohol denat, chemical preservatives.
