Ingredient

Amodimethicone

A modified silicone that conditions hair and provides heat protection while resisting buildup.

Amodimethicone is an amine-functionalized silicone polymer that provides superior conditioning to hair compared to standard silicones. It forms a selective film on damaged areas of hair, reducing frizz and improving manageability. Unlike some silicones, it resists accumulation through electrostatic repulsion, making it ideal for leave-in products.
