8.5
/ 10
Pureology Hydrate ConditionerSulfate-free shea color-care conditioner
Why ours wins — This sulfate-free conditioner still coats hair in amodimethicone silicone and fragrance, while our Alpine Rose formula conditions silicone-free with botanical care for color-treated hair.
8.6
/ 10
Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance ConditionerBond-repair strengthening hair conditioner
Why ours wins — A patented bond-building conditioner, but it relies on dimethicone silicone and added fragrance, where our Alpine Rose conditioner stays silicone-free and lighter for color-care.
8.7
/ 10
OliveYoung best sellers
UNOVE Deep Damage Treatment EXProtein damage treatment
Why ours wins — A category-leading keratin-and-protein damage-repair treatment for colored, permed hair, a strong rival, but it contains dimethicone and amodimethicone, where ours is silicone-free.
8.8
/ 10
Mise en scene Perfect Serum Original ConditionerSeven-oil argan serum conditioner
Why ours wins — A multi-oil conditioner, but it carries dimethicone, fragrance and several synthetic dyes, whereas our silicone-free Alpine Rose formula skips dyes for gentler color-care.
8.4
/ 10
Moremo Water Treatment Miracle 10Leave-in protein damage-care treatment
Why ours wins — A quick rinse-out treatment, but it is built on drying alcohol denat and a heavy load of fragrance allergens, where our silicone-free Alpine Rose conditioner stays gentler.

Our take
A silicone-free conditioner that repairs by nourishing, not coating. Swiss alpine rose, a five-rose blend and hydrolyzed barley and rice proteins smooth and strengthen colored or damaged hair, while a tara-fruit film-former and grape and apple stem-cell antioxidants help protect color from heat, UV and fading, all scented naturally with rose essential oils and no synthetic fragrance. Best for color-treated, permed or heat-damaged hair, and for anyone avoiding silicones; the natural oils carry allergens so patch test, and because it is silicone-light, use enough and leave it a few minutes. A top-ranked damage-care conditioner on Hwahae.
Worth knowing
- Natural essential oilsIts scent comes from rose, clove, geranium and chamomile oils, which carry natural allergens, patch test if you are sensitive.
- Light finish, can feel dryBeing silicone-free it is lighter than a silicone conditioner and a few users find hair drier, use enough and leave it on a few minutes.
