Defining Cream

WHO IS IT FOR.

Curls that want definition and frizz control. Blowouts that want soft control. Every texture. A cream you leave in.

WHAT DOES IT DO.

Feels light in the hands. Defines curls. Helps calm frizz. Softens and smooths for a blowout. Flexible hold. Hair stays touchable. All-natural ingredients create a soft note of almond, cocoa, and vanilla. Leave it in.

HOW IT DOES THAT.

Base: Aloe is the liquid the cream is built in.

Performance: Hydrolyzed quinoa is a peptide, protein broken down small enough to hold onto the hair. It strengthens hair, helps it keep moisture, and keeps it smooth. Maltodextrin/VP copolymer and hydroxypropyl starch phosphate are the hold. They form a light structure that defines curls, softens a blowout, and helps calm frizz while hair stays flexible.

Condition: Avocado and camellia oils moisturize and add shine. Avocado oil is rich and nourishing. Camellia seed oil is lighter, so the cream stays soft on the hair. Ethylhexyl olivate is an olive-derived emollient that adds smoothness. Plant-derived cationic conditioners, behentrimonium methosulfate and cetrimonium chloride, carry a positive charge, so they cling to hair. That is why wet hair is easy to work through, and why softness stays. Stearyl alcohol and cetearyl alcohol are fatty alcohols from plant oils. They thicken the cream and keep the water and oils together. Cetyl esters help the cream feel smooth. Polyquaternium-10 helps hair feel smooth and easy to work through. Glycerin helps hair hold water.

Aroma: Benzaldehyde (apricot kernel oil extract) is the almond note. Cocoa distillate is the cocoa note. Vanillin is the vanilla note.

Keep it fresh: A coconut-derived preservative system. Caprylhydroxamic acid (CHA) is made from coconut fatty acids. Caprylyl glyceryl ether helps stop microbes. Propanediol is a plant-derived solvent that helps that system work. Together they keep the cream safe in the bottle without parabens.

WHAT ELEVATES THIS.

The base is aloe, not water. Hair-restoring quinoa peptides. Rich avocado oil with lighter camellia oil, so definition stays soft. Ethylhexyl olivate for olive-derived smoothness. Flexible hold from a starch and maltodextrin/VP structure.
