A conditioner that actually earns the word "daily" - lightweight enough to use every wash without buildup, effective enough to handle frizz, dryness, and tangles without weighing hair down. The (MALIN+GOETZ) Cilantro Hair Conditioner synthesizes coriander seed extract and oil with sunflower oil, shea butter, and amodimethicone to hydrate, condition, and detangle all hair types cleanly and residue-free. It's also one of the most versatile products in the lineup - working equally well as a rinse-out conditioner, a leave-in treatment, a cleansing rinse, or a frizz-smoothing styling aid. Vegan and cruelty-free.
Who's It For
For all hair types and textures - fine, thick, curly, straight, colour-treated, or chemically-processed. The lightweight formula makes it particularly well-suited to anyone who finds standard conditioners too heavy or who deals with an oily scalp, but it delivers enough moisture to satisfy drier hair types too. Pairs perfectly with both the Peppermint and Moisturizing Shampoos.
Key Benefits
-
Conditions without weighing hair down. A lightweight formula that hydrates and smooths without the heavy coating that makes some conditioners feel like a commitment - hair moves, has volume, and doesn't feel coated after rinsing.
-
Cilantro extract calms the scalp. Coriandrum sativum seed extract has soothing and antioxidant properties that calm the scalp and help maintain a balanced, comfortable environment - particularly useful after cleansing.
- Sunflower oil and shea butter nourish. These fatty acid-rich ingredients deliver genuine moisture to the hair shaft and cuticle without the heaviness of heavier conditioning agents, leaving hair soft and manageable.
- Amodimethicone smooths and detangles intelligently. Unlike standard silicones that coat indiscriminately, amodimethicone is attracted to damaged areas of the hair shaft specifically - smoothing where it's needed, adding shine, and improving combability without buildup.
-
Reduces frizz durably - The combination of fatty alcohols, shea butter, and amodimethicone smooths the hair cuticle effectively, taming frizz that persists even after the shower.
- Four uses, one product. Works as a daily rinse-out conditioner, a leave-in treatment, a scalp-soothing cleansing rinse, or a styling aid for smoothing and softening on wet or dry hair - genuinely earning its bathroom shelf space.
Scent Profile
Fresh, green, and gently herbal - cilantro is a polarising scent in cooking but works beautifully in hair care, bringing a clean brightness that's neither floral nor overly sharp. It's light and quietly refreshing rather than bold, fading softly after rinsing and leaving hair smelling clean without announcing itself all day.
Key Ingredients
-
Coriander Seed Extract (Coriandrum Sativum Seed Extract) - A soothing, antioxidant-rich botanical extract that calms the scalp, supports a healthy hair environment, and provides the formula's signature fresh herbal character.
-
Coriander Seed Oil (Coriandrum Sativum Seed Oil) - Rich in fatty acids, this lightweight oil nourishes the hair shaft, adds shine, and improves overall softness and manageability.
-
Sunflower Seed Oil (Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil) - A lightweight, emollient oil high in linoleic acid that conditions the hair without heaviness, supporting shine and smoothness.
-
Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter) - Rich in fatty acids, shea butter provides deeper conditioning for the mid-lengths and ends, helping to restore suppleness and reduce breakage in drier or more damaged hair.
-
Amodimethicone - A targeted conditioning silicone that preferentially bonds to damaged sections of the hair shaft, smoothing roughness, reducing frizz, and improving combability without the uniform coating and buildup of conventional silicones.
-
Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) - An antioxidant that protects the hair from environmental stressors and helps maintain the health and integrity of the hair cuticle over time.
How To Use
As a daily conditioner: apply a small amount to clean, wet hair, focusing on the ends. Leave for 3 minutes, then rinse clean. As a leave-in treatment: apply a small amount to damp hair and comb through - do not rinse. As a cleansing rinse: apply to wet hair, massage into scalp, and rinse clean. As a styling aid: use on wet or dry hair to smooth, soften, and tame frizz. Tip from Matthew + Andrew: mix a pea-sized amount with any (MALIN+GOETZ) styling aid for added lightweight hydration.
Why MASC Recommends This
The Cilantro Conditioner is one of those products that seems almost too simple until you actually use it - and then it quietly becomes the thing you can't wash your hair without. The multi-use versatility alone sets it apart from standard conditioners, and the lightweight formula means it works for the full range of hair types without compromise. Pair it with the Peppermint Shampoo for an iconic (MALIN+GOETZ) wash routine, or with the Moisturizing Shampoo for a more nourishing combination. Either way, the refill gallon starts making a lot of sense very quickly.
