This product contains a combination of ingredients that provide a range of benefits for hair, including dimethicone, which is a friendly silicone, and sunflower oil, which is a sealing oil with larger lipids and complex fatty acid chains that do not easily get absorbed by the hair cuticles. It also contains a high concentration of Moringa oleifera seed oil, which has a high monounsaturated fatty acid and can act as a penetrating oil. In addition to its sealing and penetrating properties, this product also functions as a delivery system for transporting reconstructing ingredients into the strand, offers heat protection, and adds shine. Whether or not this product is suitable for a particular user may depend on their hair porosity and specific needs. It may be more suitable for damaged, porous hair, but it is important to consider the specific properties of the oils in the product and how they may interact with the user's hair. It may not be suitable for those with low porosity because it is designed for damaged and porous hair. Please note that it contains fragrance, which is a blacklisted ingredient that we recommend avoiding. In general, using sealing oils on high-porosity hair is not a problem, but using penetrating oils on low-porosity hair may not be as effective.
