Summary

Aussie Miracle Moist Conditioner scores 30/100 -- the cleanest conventional drugstore conditioner in Batch 1 by a wide margin. Uses the cleaner Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine cationic (same as Native Conditioner) instead of the petroleum-derived Behentrimonium Chloride / Cetrimonium Chloride dirty quats that Pantene, TRESemmé, and Elvive use. Carries only ONE silicone (Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, an amine-modified variant) instead of stacking two silicones. No phenoxyethanol, no PEGs, no synthetic dyes. The genuine plant payload is unusually strong for the price tier: Aloe Vera Leaf Extract, Ecklonia Radiata (sea kelp) Extract, and Jojoba Seed Oil. Three demerits hold the score below the 50-line: (1) Methylchloroisothiazolinone + Methylisothiazolinone (Contact Allergen of the Year 2013, EU-restricted), (2) undisclosed Fragrance with no itemized allergens, (3) EDTA chelator. Compares directly to the Native Conditioners (63/100) -- same cationic, no PEGs in either, but Native is silicone-free and uses Sodium Benzoate as preservative instead of MCI/MIT. Owned by Procter & Gamble.
