BioSilk Silk Therapy

I use it occasionally when my hair looks dull and it immediately improves the texture and look of it, appearing shinier and such. Pretty good product.

As previously pointed out, it doesn’t have the best formulation, I give it a 6/10. Contains alcohol, parabens, and fragrances that cause dryness and irritation. There are some beneficial ingredients like Panthenol, Hydrolized Silk, and a proprietary UV protection blend that together help moisturize, strengthen, and protect the hair. Due to the silicones, it provides a shiny finish. Still, I wouldn’t recommend it.

If I could change its formulation, I would replace Cyclomethicone, a silicone, with Dimethicone or Cetearyl Alcohol for smoother, longer-lasting results without buildup. Preservation-wise, I’d remove the Methylparaben and Propylparaben and add Ethylhexylglycerin, which is often paired with the present ingredient Phenoxyethanol. For hydration and strength, I’d consider adding Keratin or Argan Oil. I would also switch the C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, an emollient and conditioner, for Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, or Coconut Oil. And instead of the harsh fragrances, such as Benzyl Benzoate, Linalool, Gamma Methyl Ionone, and Citronellol, I’d opt for more skin-friendly natural alternatives, such as Lavender, Rosemary, or Citrus oils. In regards to UV protection, Tinosorb S or Uvinul A Plus would be ideal. Current formulation is unspecified. Ethyl Ester of Hydrolyzed Silk is currently used as an emollient and moisturizer, which I would swap with Hydrolyzed Silk Protein or Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein. And, as an alcohol alternative to the current SD Alcohol 40-B, I’d choose Butylene Glycol or Cetearyl Alcohol.

Why settle for a product full of mediocre ingredients, when you can find better alternatives? There are healthier and safer ones such as No Frizz Smooth Styling Cream by Living Proof, Super Skinny Serum by Paul Mitchell, 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Daily Hydration Shampoo by SheaMoisture, or Resistance Bain Force Architecte Shampoo by Kerastase. There are definitely even better alternatives if you take the time to research.
