What this product is
Written from the ingredient list. Where it describes how a formula behaves, that is inferred from what the ingredients are and where they sit in the list, not measured.
Overview
Grapefruit Conditioner is a conditioner from Cocoon, aimed at wavy hair, curly hair and medium hair. On the evidence of its ingredient list, the formula works on moisture, frizz control and shine. The ingredients doing most of that work are Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol and Cocos Nucifera Oil. The list runs to 51 ingredients, 19 of which carry a role we recognise for hair.
How it cleanses
It is sulfate-free: the cleansing is done by Xylitylglucoside, milder surfactants that leave more of the hair's own oil behind.
How it feels on hair
By the balance of its ingredients the formula reads as neither especially rich nor especially light. It contains Dimethicone and Amodimethicone. Silicones smooth the cuticle and cut frizz on contact; they are also what a clarifying wash is for, because they do not rinse out with a mild shampoo. The formula leans to moisture rather than protein.
Protein
There is a small amount of protein in the list: Arginine.
On the scalp
For the scalp itself the formula carries Panthenol. On an oily scalp the richer ingredients here can read as greasy at the roots.
Build-up and porosity
A few ingredients here stay on the hair between washes (Dimethicone, Amodimethicone and Polyquaternium-10), which is worth knowing if you wash rarely or use a mild shampoo.
Where it goes
It goes on after shampooing, on the lengths rather than the roots. Apply the product to wet hair, massage it gently into your hair, and then rinse thoroughly for beautifully clean hair. Use daily for the best results. Avoid contact with eyes. Amount of usage 2-3 pumps
What it is not for
Nothing in this formula is aimed at protein & strength, oil control, volume / lightweight and color protection — not a fault, just the shape of what is in the bottle, and the reason one product rarely covers a whole routine. No ingredient here is one we recognise as supporting hair growth. Reducing breakage and growing hair are different things, and this formula's evidence is for the first.
