🤔 Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — this is the first conditioner purposely formulated to be SebDerm Safe™, without esters, oils, or fatty alcohols that feed Malassezia or cause barrier imbalance.
Yes, 100%. It is completely understandable to be cautious when you see the word “alcohol” or “fatty” on an ingredient list, but Cetyl Alcohol is scientifically proven to be entirely non-feeding and safe for yeast-prone skin.
Here is the breakdown of why it will never cause a flare-up:
- The Science of Malassezia: The yeast responsible for Seborrheic Dermatitis and fungal acne (Malassezia) thrives by feeding on specific lipids, oils, and fatty acids. However, research shows it can only break down and metabolize carbon chain lengths between 11 and 24 carbons (C_{11} – C_{24}) when they are in the form of traditional oils, esters, or polysorbates.
- Why Cetyl Alcohol is Different: Cetyl Alcohol is a single-chain fatty alcohol (C_{16}H_{33}OH). Because of its specific molecular structure as a pure fatty alcohol—rather than a lipid or a true fatty acid—the Malassezia yeast lacks the enzymes required to digest or break it down.
- Zero Food Source: Because the yeast cannot metabolize the molecular bond of Cetyl Alcohol, it cannot use it as food to multiply. It remains completely inert on your scalp and skin.
Why We Use It:
Most mainstream conditioners use heavy oils (like shea butter or olive oil) or esters that act like an all-you-can-eat buffet for fungal acne and SD. We use Cetyl Alcohol because it provides that luxurious, silky slip and locks in deep moisture to soften the hair shaft perfectly—giving you smooth, healthy hair with zero risk of feeding a flare-up.
Absolutely. It was designed to be lightweight and non-coating, making it perfect as a daily leave-in without clogging pores or irritating the scalp.
No. This formula adds moisture to the hair without weighing down the roots or leaving buildup behind.
Use it in the shower for a smooth, soft finish — or apply a pea-sized amount as a leave-in treatment for extra hydration and frizz control.
Formulated for real humans with real scalps.
Made small-batch with love. 💚

Ingredients
Ingredients
Purified water, behentrimonium methosulfate (the positively charged magnet 🧲), cetyl alcohol, butylene glycol, coco caprylate, squalane oil, vegetable glycerin, hydrolyzed wheat protein, panthenol, clean & carefree scent (if scented), radish root extract, xanthan gum, benzoic acid, citric acid
✨ We enhanced our formula! We dialed in the pH to 5.0—the exact sweet spot of a healthy scalp barrier—to eliminate the stripping and drying caused by ultra-acidic formulas. To enhance hair softness and because your hair has a negative charge, we added Behentrimonium Methosulfate, a 100% fungal acne safe and seb derm safe, plant-derived extract that’s magnetic! It binds to the hair to provide immediate silkiness and detangling without using heavy oils or lipids that trigger Malassezia yeast flare-ups. Same powerful results, much happier hair!
