Dove Beauty Bond Strength Peptide Complex Conditioner - 12 fl oz: Sulfate-Free, Paraben-Free, Vegan Formula for All Hair Types
Analysis updated June 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This conditioner is sulfate-free and paraben-free, which are positive attributes for hair health. However, it contains dimethiconol, a non-water-soluble silicone, which can build up on hair over time and may require clarifying shampoos to remove. The presence of PEG compounds also indicates a moderate level of processing, which slightly impacts the overall score.
