Review (2/5): Contains a potent irritant.
I just bought this same product at my local drug store, and I realized it has different ingredients than the information available on amazon and even different than the ingredient listing on the drug store site. I am assuming the ingredients were changed at some point and information has not been changed. Here is a listing of the new ingredients:
Aqua, Soybean Oil, Glycerin, Polyquaternium-37, Olive Oil, Limonene, Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Orange Oil, Quaternium-80, Panthenol, Silk Amino Acids, Dimethicone PEG-7 Isotearate, PPG-1 Trideceth-6, Chamomile Extract, Sage Extract, Nettle Extract, Rosemary Extract, Aloe Leaf Extract, Yarrow Extract, Kiwi Fruit Extract, Dimethicone, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans, EDTA, DMDM Hydantoin, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, CI 15985, CI 19140.
I read the ingredients list before purchase and was attracted to this product because it contains Hydrolyzed Collagen, Panthenol, Silk Amino Acids, and some interesting natural extracts. I am highly allergic to many fragrances and I didn't see any fragrance listed and assumed this product relied on its natural extracts for its scent. Boy was I wrong... as soon as I popped the bottle BAM I was hit with a very strong, artificial-seeming citrus scent. Bad news for me, since strong citrus scents notoriously cause allergies and irritation. See that Limonene listed up there? High up in the ingredients list? I referred to some references for cosmetic ingredients and found a bunch of red flags about how it causes allergies, sensitizes skin and can cause contact dermatitis. Yikes. I am having mild allergies flaring up after using this product and I know if I use it frequently and regularly the allergies will only get worse, and quickly. It is a shame because my hair does feel very nice after using this product. I will be returning this in the morning. So, I gave it more than one star because yes, it is nice on my hair, however I am cutting the rating substantially because this product contains a potentially very irritating and allergenic ingredient that has no benefit to the hair aside from providing the product with a certain scent..
