Kerastase Elixir Ultime Oil Serum vs. L'Oreal Paris Elseve Extraordinary Oil Coconut
Position 1
Both products have the same component on this position.

#1Cyclopentasiloxane

Origin: chemical
Role: Skin conditioning agent, Emollient, Hair conditioning, Solvent
Protection
Silicones
EWG Rating [ 3 ]
CIR Rating [ A ]

Cyclopentasiloxane is a fluid silicone. It’s non-greasy and doesn’t have any scent or color. It evaporates pretty fast which makes this ingredient essential when it comes to making products that have to dry quickly. It also gives a nice silky feeling when you apply the product to the skin and hair. It leaves a thin film that protects the skin after evaporation.

Cyclopentasiloxane is chemically neutral, meaning it doesn’t react with other components.

Position 2
Both products have the same component on this position.

Bad for oily skin
Bad for oily skin

Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil protects the skin from dryness. It’s a very effective organic moisturizer. In hair care, it creates a protective film around hair protecting it. It has slight comedogenic activity, meaning the product may clog pores if there is too much Coconut oil in it.

Position 4

#4Argania Spinosa Oil/​argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

Origin: No information
Role: No information
-- versus --

#4Linalool

Origin: natural
Role: Deodorant, Fragrance ingredient, Masking
Allergens
EWG Rating [ 3 ]

Linalool gives the product a nice and fresh lavender scent. It can be found in many essential oils. It oxidizes during air exposure and becomes allergenic. It can lead to irritation causing problems for people with sensitive skin. The threat is even higher if the product was opened several months ago. In such products, more Linalool is oxidized.

Position 5

#5Camellia Kissi/​camellia Kissi Seed Oil
