What the brand says it does
Its product page describes a medium-hold mousse for a voluminous look that stays without stiffness, and reports that it:
- Gives instant fullness and lift, with touchable body and bounce as soon as you work it through damp strands
- Weightlessly hydrates, with an airy texture that never weighs hair down
- Protects hair against heat up to 450°F, with no test detail given
On the ingredients behind it:
- Styling polymer (VP/Acrylates/Lauryl Methacrylate Copolymer): provides long-lasting, movable, flexible hold and anti-humidity benefits.

What should I know about the aerosol? It is an extremely flammable aerosol in a pressurized container that may burst if heated. Keep it away from heat, sparks, open flames and hot surfaces, protect it from sunlight, and do not store it above 120°F (49°C), even after use. Do not puncture or incinerate it. Keep it out of reach of children. Deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents can be harmful or fatal.
Does it contain silicones or fragrance? PEG-8 dimethicone, a silicone, is on the ingredient list. Fragrance is listed too; the scent notes shown are the brand's signature blend of apricot, lily of the valley, sandalwood, pink grapefruit and vanilla.
Can the ingredient list change? It can. To confirm the formula suits you, check the list printed on your can.
