First two ingredients: cyclopentasiloxane, dimethiconol.Oh boy, do I get it. The Moroccan Oil is one of the most successful hair products on the market, touting the benefits of Argan Oil. That one is nearly all Silicones as well, with Argan falling in at about 1% - 2% . When I working in the Spa/Hair Industry we couldn’t keep it on the shelves. At $40-ish dollars for a 100 ml bottle! Yes, it works (because of the silicone blend) and the smell is to die for …but Garnier puts out one that is almost identical for about $7.
The magic of marketing! Moroccan Oil only had to put their product in a dark brown glass bottle (giving it the perception of being a natural product), create a very eye catching label, make it smell like heaven and slap a crazy price tag on it and voila. The hair stylists where I worked sold it like it was pure magic in a bottle. -
Ketchico, Thank you so much for responding.
I agree with you about sulfates and I love Silicones in my hair products. Unfortunately both have been so badly, and unfairly vilified … that I find it impossible to put out a formula with either of these ingredients without dealing with a ton of backlash.
I also was somewhat confused about the ingredient order (which I copied straight from the bottle) and wondering it it was correct, but I examined a “Pantene Basic” ingredient list and it was nearly the exact same list in the same order. Sodium Citrate was also the third ingredient in that one.
I’m still having a difficult time figuring out what benefit Sodium Citrate could bring to a basic shampoo.
Thanks again!
