Expert note
BETTER than Dove/TRESemme! Uses NATURAL ABSORBENTS: Rice Starch + BARLEY FLOUR (unique - contains natural protein!). Still basic with just 9 ingredients - no added peptides, botanicals, or vitamins. But natural starches are gentler than aluminum starch. Good BUDGET option if you want natural absorbents. NO MI/MCI, no specific fragrance allergens listed. Best drugstore dry shampoo value for clean ingredients.
