Behentrimonium Methosulfate

Derived from non-GMO rapeseed oil, behentrimonium methosulfate is one of the mildest hair-detangling ingredients available today. This scientifically sophisticated ingredient is renowned for its superior detangling ability without causing build-up on the hair. Unlike other hair detanglers, which are known for their irritancy, behentrimonium methosulfate is extremely mild and recommended for use in baby products which are left on the skin. It is not part of the sulfate family.

Benzyl Alcohol

An Ecocert approved, multi-use, broad spectrum preservative system that is a synergistic blend of organic acid and alcohol, Benzyl Alcohol meets COSMOS standards and is NATRUE Certified, guaranteeing the ingredient is genuinely natural and not tested on animals.

Betaine

Betaine is a naturally derived ingredient extracted from the sugar beet plant. It is added to skincare to increase hydration, while restoring and protecting the skin's natural barrier function. In haircare it serves to improve hair strength and resilience, imparting a silkiness post-use.
