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
Cica No-Sebum Mild Powder is a setting powder from VT Cosmetics, aimed at wavy hair, curly hair and medium hair. On the evidence of its ingredient list, the formula works on shine, frizz control and moisture. The ingredients doing most of that work are Dimethicone/vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Methicone and Panthenol. The list runs to 23 ingredients, 6 of which carry a role we recognise for hair.
How it feels on hair
By the balance of its ingredients the formula reads as neither especially rich nor especially light. It contains Dimethicone/vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer and Methicone. 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.
On the scalp
For the scalp itself the formula carries Panthenol.
Build-up and porosity
Several ingredients here stay on the hair between washes — Dimethicone/vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer and Methicone — so on low-porosity or fine hair this is a formula that will want a clarifying wash from time to time.
What it is not for
Nothing in this formula is aimed at protein & strength, scalp soothing, oil control and volume / lightweight — 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.
In short
Working for it
