Benefits of Key Ingredients

Argan Oil

When it comes to cosmetic oils and hype, argan oil is for sure leading the way. So, argan oil comes from the kernel of the argan fruit that comes from the argan tree that grows only in Morocco. The tree is slow growing and getting the oil is a hard job.

As for skincare, argan oil is loaded with lots of skin goodies (but so are many other plant oils): it contains 80% nourishing and moisturizing unsaturated fatty acids, mainly oleic (38-50%), linoleic (28-38%) and palmitic (10-18%). Thanks to all the above goodness in argan oil, it can greatly nourish and moisturize the skin and hair. It's also claimed to be able to neutralize collagen-damaging free radicals, help reduce scars, and revitalize and improve skin elasticity.

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)

An easy-to-formulate, commonly used, nice to have ingredient that’s also called pro-vitamin B5. Its main job in skincare products is to moisturise the skin. It’s a humectant meaning that it can help the skin to attract water and then hold onto it. Another great thing about panthenol is that it has anti-inflammatory and skin protecting abilities.

Dimethicone

Probably the most common silicone of all. As for skincare, it makes the skin silky smooth, creates a subtle gloss and forms a protective barrier (aka occlusive). Also, works well to fill in fine lines and wrinkles and give skin a plump look (of course that is only temporary, but still, it's nice). There are also scar treatment gels out there using dimethicone as their base ingredient. It helps to soften scars and increase their elasticity. As for hair care, it is a non-volatile silicone meaning that it stays on the hair rather than evaporates from it and smoothes the hair like no other thing.

Fragrance Components

The shampoo contains several fragrance ingredients to provide a pleasant scent. Some of these include:

Linalool: A super common fragrance ingredient, but it oxidizes on air exposure and becomes allergenic.
Limonene: A super common and cheap fragrance ingredient, but it oxidizes on air exposure and the resulting stuff is not good for the skin.
Benzyl Salicylate: A common fragrance ingredient that has a faint sweet balsamic smell.
Hexyl Cinnamal: It’s a common fragrance ingredient that has a light floral smell.
Butylphenyl Methylpropional: A common fragrance ingredient that has a nice floral scent and also goes by the name Lilial.
Jasminum Officinale (Jasmine) Oil: A common fragrance ingredient that smells like jasmine.

It's important to note that fragrance ingredients can be potential allergens, especially for those with sensitive skin.
