Kristin Ess Extra Gentle Conditioner for Sensitive Skin & Scalp — Sulfate-Free, Vegan Hydration (Color + Keratin Safe)

Kristin Ess Hair Extra Gentle Conditioner is a mild, hydrating conditioner formulated for sensitive skin and scalps that nourishes, soothes, and helps restore softness without harsh ingredients.

Designed as part of a clean haircare routine, this sulfate-free, vegan conditioner delivers lightweight moisture and calming care while remaining safe for color-treated and keratin-treated hair. The formula focuses on gentle hydration, subtle fragrance, and ingredient transparency so people with reactive skin can condition confidently every day. It pairs with a gentle cleanser to leave hair smooth, manageable, and shiny from root to tip.

How does this conditioner help sensitive skin and scalp?

The Extra Gentle Conditioner uses simple, non-irritating ingredients to provide moisture and reduce friction without heavy perfumes or harsh sulfates. It supports a calmer scalp environment by avoiding common irritants and by supplying conditioning agents that soften hair cuticles.

• Sulfate-free and silicone-free base to limit irritation and buildup.
• Subtle, low-impact fragrance formulated for sensitive noses.
• Nourishing emollients that smooth hair without weighing it down.
• Cruelty-free and vegan formulation for clean beauty preferences.

Will it work on color-treated or keratin-treated hair?

Yes — this conditioner is safe for both color-treated and keratin-treated hair, providing hydration that preserves vibrancy and smoothness. The lightweight formula helps maintain salon results without stripping treatments or accelerating color fade.

• Free of sulfates and parabens that can strip color.
• Gentle conditioning preserves keratin smoothing benefits.
• Adds shine and manageability to treated hair types.

How do I use it for best results on different hair lengths and textures?

Dispense a dime- to quarter-sized amount depending on thickness; apply to wet hair from mid-lengths to ends and work upward. Leave for about three minutes before rinsing to let moisturizing agents absorb without weighing fine hair down.

• Fine hair: use smaller amount and rinse sooner to avoid heaviness.
• Thick or curly hair: use a quarter-sized amount, focus on ends, and detangle gently with fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
• Daily users: safe for everyday conditioning to maintain softness and manageability.
