How it works

The product utilizes several key ingredients to achieve its effects. Petrolatum and Mineral Oil act as emollients and conditioning agents to help soften and smooth the hair. Kaolin works as an absorbent, giving the product its matte finish by absorbing excess oils. Beeswax is a structuring agent that provides the paste its shape and allows it to offer medium control and hold. PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate serves as an emollient that helps with the distribution of the paste through the hair. C18-38 Alkyl Hydroxystearoyl Stearate acts as a thickening agent, contributing to the paste's consistency. The inclusion of fragrance components such as Benzyl Benzoate and Hexyl Cinnamal adds a pleasant scent to the product. Together, these ingredients allow the paste to shape and separate the hair, providing texture while helping to tame unruly ends for a smooth and healthy-looking finish.
