Ingredients:
Glycerin, Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Behentrimonium Chloride, Steartrimonium Chloride, Aloe, Soy, Shea


At first glance — nothing "criminal." No microplastics, no acrylates. But if you look deeper, the picture is not so green anymore 👇

❗️Main nuance #1 — volatile silicone Cyclopentasiloxane (D5), which provides the claimed effect of the product (smoothness, shine, anti-frizz)

But for the environment:
— poorly biodegradable
— accumulates in nature
— already restricted in the EU for rinse-off products

👉 That is, it is a persistent pollutant

❗️Nuance #2 — cationic surfactants (quats)

• Behentrimonium Chloride
• Steartrimonium Chloride

On one hand, they provide easy combing, softness, "silkiness"

But:
— toxic to aquatic organisms
— poorly biodegradable
— enter wastewater after each wash

👉 This is a common "hidden" environmental risk in conditioners

🌿 What is good in the composition?
— glycerin (biodegradable humectant)
— fatty alcohols (safe)
— plant extracts (aloe, soy, shea)

But their contribution is secondary

📊 Summary

✔ no microplastics
❌ silicones with bioaccumulation present
❌ substances harmful to aquatic environment present

Overall eco-friendliness: average (approximately 4–5/10)

💡 Important conclusion:
If you want a more eco-friendly alternative, look for:
— without silicones (especially D5/D6)
— without quats or with minimal amounts
— with biodegradable polymers

But the "cleaner" the composition — the milder the effect
