Summary
L'Oréal Paris Elvive Hyaluron + Plump 72H Hydrating Conditioner scores 14/100 -- a conventional drugstore conditioner that combines both 'dirty quat' petroleum-derived cationic conditioners (Behentrimonium Chloride + Cetrimonium Chloride, both EWG 4-5) with a heavy silicone load (Dimethicone + Amodimethicone) and -- unusually for a conditioner -- Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Also includes drying Isopropyl Alcohol (not the conditioning fatty alcohols cetyl/stearyl), undisclosed Fragrance plus Limonene fragrance allergen, Phenoxyethanol, and two synthetic dyes (Red 33 / CI 17200 and Blue 1 / CI 42090) used purely to color the bottle's contents. Red 33 is FDA-prohibited in lip products due to staining concerns. The marketed Sodium Hyaluronate again appears at the very bottom of the INCI -- performative concentration. Owned by L'Oréal. Sold as a hydrating conditioner in L'Oréal's Elvive line.
Key ingredients 9
Behentrimonium ChlorideVery Bad
Petroleum-derived 'dirty quat' cationic conditioner. EWG 4-5. The compound that clean-beauty brands deliberately replace with guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride or behenamidopropyl dimethylamine.
