FunctionConditioning

What it is — Phytantriol (INCI: Phytantriol) is a plant-derived triol used mainly as a conditioning ingredient in skin and hair care.

What it does — In hair care it is used to help smooth the cuticle and improve manageability and shine; in skincare it supports a conditioned, comfortable surface feel.

Typical use — It appears in conditioners, hair treatments, leave-ins and some skin moisturisers, usually as a supporting conditioning agent.

Who it suits / good to know — Broadly suitable across skin and hair types. It is a supporting texture-and-feel ingredient rather than a headline active.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: an inert, well-tolerated conditioning agent. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk - silicone/conditioning agent, inert and well tolerated.
