Formulation Deep Dive

The Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil is formulated as a high-performance anhydrous silicone-based treatment designed for lipid replenishment and cuticle smoothing. The carrier system utilizes a sophisticated volatile and non-volatile silicone matrix of Dimethicone, Dimethiconol, and Trisiloxane to provide immediate refractive shine and a lightweight, non-greasy film. Active performance is driven by a synergistic lipid complex including Mel (Honey), Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, and Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil, which work in tandem to restore the hair's hydrophobic barrier and improve tensile elasticity. The formulation is stabilized through the inherent compatibility of the silicone-lipid blend and fortified with Tocopherol (Vitamin E) and Tocopheryl Acetate to prevent oxidative rancidity of the botanical triglycerides.
