Cantu Moisturizing Rinse Out Conditioner vs. HASK Argan Oil Repairing Conditioner

Position 1

Both products have the same component on this position.

#1Water

Origin: natural

Role: Solvent

EWG Rating [ 1 ]

Water is a great solvent. It’s neutral and doesn’t provide any strong positive or negative effects. It just helps components to mix better and to transport active components.

Position 2

#2Cetearyl Alcohol

Origin: chemical

Role: Emollient, Emulsifying agent, Emulsion stabilizer, Foam booster, Surfactant, Viscosity controlling agent

Comedogenic rating [ 2 ]

EWG Rating [ 1 ]

CIR Rating [ A ]

Cetearyl Alcohol is used mostly for formulation purposes. It’s a very good emulsifier and emulsion stabilizer. It helps the ingredients mix better and it makes the product spread on your skin evenly. It also makes the product thicker. It doesn’t belong to harmful alcohols and it will not dry your skin.

-- versus --

#2Cetyl Alcohol

Origin: natural

Role: Emollient, Emulsifying agent, Emulsion stabilizer, Foam booster, Fragrance ingredient, Masking, Surfactant, Viscosity controlling agent

Softening

Comedogenic rating [ 2 ]

EWG Rating [ 1 ]

CIR Rating [ A ]

Cetyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol. It’s responsible for making your skin soft and improving product thickness. It makes the product easier to apply and feel richer. Though it contains the word “Alcohol” in its title, the component doesn’t belong to harmful alcohols. That’s why a product with this component can still be marked as Alcohol-free. Usually, manufacturers receive this component from coconut or palm oil.

EWG Rating [ 1 ]

Shea Butter is a great natural moisturizer everybody knows about. And it’s popular for a reason. It contains 5 essential fatty acids (palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and arachidonic), vitamins (A, D, E, F), and catechins, which are antioxidants. It moisturizes the skin and protects it from UV, cold, and other negative factors. It can be used on its own and will not harm your skin even in very high concentrations.

Regeneration

EWG Rating [ 1 ]

This oil consists of Olein and Linoleic acids mostly. It also contains a lot of Tocopherol. That's why it's a great component to counter ageing. It soaks into the skin pretty fast without leaving an oily film. It makes the skin feel silky and helps to recover hydro-lipid layer, increases its firmness and elasticity.
