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.

Key ingredients 9

Behentrimonium Chloride
Very 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.

Dimethicone + Amodimethicone
Very Bad

Heavy silicone load; occlusive hair-shaft coating that requires sulfate shampoos to remove. Environmentally persistent siloxane microplastic precursors.

Fragrance (Parfum) + Limonene
Very Bad

Undisclosed fragrance blend plus an explicitly itemized IFRA-flagged fragrance allergen. Fragrance can legally hide hundreds of un-itemized compounds including phthalates and endocrine disruptors.

Cetrimonium Chloride
Bad

Second petroleum-derived dirty quat in the same formula. EWG 4-5. Stacked with behentrimonium chloride for extra conditioning at the cost of compounded irritation potential.

See more about Cetrimonium Chloride →
Sodium Laureth Sulfate
Bad

Ethoxylated sulfate cleanser in a conditioner -- unusual and unnecessary. Carries 1,4-dioxane (IARC Group 2B probable human carcinogen) contamination risk.

Phenoxyethanol
Bad

Synthetic preservative; EWG 4. EU restricted in baby products.
