Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner
Not sure. We can't tell if Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner is alcohol-free.
The label claims alcohol-free, but the ingredient list on file shows Isopropyl Alcohol. One of them is out of date, and we don't guess.
- Isopropyl Alcohol
Why
Alcohol-free means no drying alcohol: Alcohol Denat, Ethanol, SD Alcohol, Isopropyl Alcohol. Fatty alcohols like Cetearyl Alcohol are waxes and never count, and Benzyl Alcohol is a preservative.
We can't tell if Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner is alcohol-free. The label claims alcohol-free, but the ingredient list on file shows Isopropyl Alcohol. One of them is out of date, and we don't guess. We show both pieces of evidence rather than pick a side; the fix is a fresh photo of the ingredient list.
Cetearyl Alcohol and Cetyl Alcohol are fatty alcohols: waxy, softening, and never counted as alcohol.
This is not a safety warning. It is a label fact, useful if you avoid this group on purpose.
