GROWUS Damage Therapy Travel Kit (Shampoo 50ml +Treatment 45g+No Wash Treatment 28ml)

Values You Can Trust: Halal-Friendly* / Not Vegan (see Section 26) / Cruelty-Free* (brand-stated) / 100% Authentic Guarantee

Pros: genuinely complementary 3-step system, not a single dominant product with filler; travel-legal sizes; shared formulation family means consistent scent and texture across steps.

Caveats: none of the three is vegan; no full-size continuation of the shampoo or treatment formula currently exists in this store's catalog (see Section 36); leave-in spray is not CGM-friendly.

1. Shampoo EX — Wet hair, work into a lather at the scalp and lengths, rinse.
2. Treatment EX — Apply to damp mid-lengths and ends, leave 5-10 minutes, rinse thoroughly.
3. No-Wash Treatment EX — Shake well, spray onto towel-dried hair from 10-15cm away, comb through. Do not rinse.

The one rule: Introduce this kit as the only new hair product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else, so you can tell whether any reaction belongs to this kit specifically.

Hands vs. product distribution: for the rinse-off treatment, use fingers to work the cream through — this ensures full, even coverage compared to a quick single-handed swipe.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

Haircare and skincare run on separate ladders, but the same core layering logic applies: thinnest-to-thickest, cleanse before treat, treat before seal. In this kit specifically: Shampoo (cleanse) → Treatment EX (rinse-off deep condition) → towel-dry → No-Wash Treatment EX (leave-in seal). If you also run a facial skincare routine on the same day, there is no interaction between the two systems — shower-step hair products and leave-on facial actives do not conflict, since they are applied to different surfaces at different times.

Wait-time defaults for this kit: Treatment EX needs 5-10 minutes of dwell time on damp hair before rinsing for the cationic conditioning agents to adsorb properly; the No-Wash Treatment EX needs no wait — style immediately after application.

If you also use a separate finishing hair oil, apply it after the No-Wash Treatment EX has been combed through and hair is nearly dry — oil goes on top of, not underneath, a silicone leave-in, or it will slide off rather than seal in.

Proceed if: your hair damage is cosmetic/mechanical (heat, color, bleach, mechanical friction) rather than a diagnosed scalp or dermatological condition; you have no known allergy to fragrance, collagen/dairy-derived proteins, or crustacean-derived ingredients (see the Cross-Reactivity section below for the Treatment EX's Chitosan).

Pause if: you are mid-way through a separate intensive hair treatment (a salon keratin/protein treatment, or a strong bleach/perm) — wait for your stylist's recommended reintroduction window before layering a new protein-heavy system on top.

Consult a professional if: you suspect a scalp condition (persistent flaking, itching, hair thinning) rather than fiber damage — this kit is not formulated to address those and using it instead of an appropriate scalp treatment may delay getting the right care.

MYTH: "A deep conditioner permanently repairs split ends." REALITY: Conditioning agents smooth the cuticle and temporarily "glue" split fibers together for a smoother look and feel, but they do not permanently reverse a structural split — only trimming removes it.

MYTH: "More product means faster repair." REALITY: Over-applying the leave-in spray or rinse-off cream mainly adds greasiness and silicone buildup, not extra repair — correct dosage, used consistently, outperforms overdosing.

MYTH: "If it has 'therapy' or 'repair' in the name, it must also fix scalp problems." REALITY: This kit's actives (collagen, keratin, ceramide, niacinamide, salicylic acid) target the hair fiber and general scalp comfort, not diagnosed hair loss or dandruff — those need a purpose-built product.

Humid season (Dec-Mar): the No-Wash Treatment EX's silicone film is genuinely useful here — it helps block ambient humidity from re-frizzing hair after styling. Use a light hand to avoid a heavy feel in the heat.

Drier winter/AC exposure (Jun-Sep): extended air-conditioning can dry hair out between washes; the Treatment EX's emollient/humectant blend (Glycerin, Butylene Glycol) can be used slightly more generously during this period.

Hard water note: Mauritius tap water hardness varies by region; hard water can leave a mineral film on hair that makes it feel dull or straw-like even after using a good shampoo. If you notice this, an occasional clarifying rinse (or a chelating shampoo) before this kit's shampoo step can help the treatment and leave-in products perform as intended.

Sun/beach exposure: none of the three components carries a UV-filter or water-resistance claim; reapply the No-Wash Treatment EX after swimming or heavy sweating rather than expecting the first application to last all day.

This kit contains three distinct formulas. Each has its own full ingredient list below — they are never combined into one list.

1. Shampoo EX (50ml) — Full INCI:

Water/Aqua/Eau, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Glycerin, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Lauryl Hydroxysultaine, Sodium Chloride, Cocamide MIPA, Glycol Distearate, Polyquaternium-10, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Caprylyl Glycol, Panthenol, Carbomer, Arginine, Salicylic Acid, Hexylene Glycol, Sea Water, Disodium EDTA, [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] Niacinamide, Dipropylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Glyceryl Caprylate, Bifida Ferment Lysate, Collagen Extract, Milk Protein Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract, Dextrin, Lactobacillus/Eriodictyon Californicum Ferment Extract, Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, Saccharomyces/Coix Lacryma-Jobi Ma-Yuen Seed Ferment Filtrate, Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate, Hizikia Fusiforme Extract, Pearl Extract, Ceratonia Siliqua (Carob) Fruit Extract, Camellia Japonica Leaf Extract, Diospyros Kaki Fruit Extract, Spirulina Platensis Extract, and other minor ingredients.

*This ingredient list was retrieved via aggregated search of third-party INCI-listing sites rather than a direct primary-source fetch (a network restriction blocked direct access to INCIDecoder and major retailer pages during this research pass), and the source itself flagged the list as possibly incomplete past this point. Treat the tail end of this list as indicative, not exhaustive, until verified against packaging.

2. Treatment EX (45g, rinse-off cream) — Full INCI:

Water, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, Behentrimonium Chloride, 1,2-Hexanediol, Fragrance, Cetrimonium Chloride, Isopropyl Alcohol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Dexpanthenol, Salicylic Acid, [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] Niacinamide, Disodium EDTA, Eclipta Prostrata Extract, Dipropylene Glycol, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Glycerin, Camellia Japonica Seed Extract, Dunaliella Salina Extract, Maltodextrin, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Chlorella Ferment, Ceramide NP, Gelidium Cartilagineum Extract, Gracilaria Verrucosa Extract, Caulerpa Lentillifera Extract, Spirulina Platensis Extract, Chondrus Crispus Extract, Pearl Extract, Chlorella Vulgaris Extract, Chitosan, Collagen Amino Acids, Citronellol, Geraniol, Linalool.

*Retrieved via aggregated third-party search, not a direct primary fetch (same access restriction as above). This list was returned identically whether searched as "Treatment" or "Treatment EX" — it was not possible this pass to confirm whether the EX version is a genuine reformulation or the same formula under a renewed name.

3. No-Wash Treatment EX (28ml, leave-in spray) — Full INCI:

Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane, Isopropyl Myristate, Alcohol Denat., Fragrance, Caprylyl Glycol, Dimer Dilinoleyl Dimer Dilinoleate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Water, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Titanium Dioxide, Eclipta Prostrata Extract, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Menthol, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Butylene Glycol, Biotin, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Sea Water, Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate, Glycerin, Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, 1,2-Hexanediol, [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Bifida Ferment Lysate, Hydrolyzed Elastin, Spirulina Platensis Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Milk Protein Extract, Pearl Extract, Lecithin, Ceramide NP, Diospyros Kaki Fruit Extract, Camellia Japonica Leaf Extract, Ceratonia Siliqua (Carob) Fruit Extract, Tropolone, Ecklonia Cava Extract, Gelidium Cartilagineum Extract, Laminaria Japonica Extract, Lactobacillus Ferment, Lactococcus Ferment, Undaria Pinnatifida Extract, Bacillus Ferment, Soluble Collagen, Citric Acid, Aspergillus Ferment, Hizikia Fusiforme Extract, Polysorbate 20, Hydrolyzed Pearl, Aureobasidium Pullulans Ferment, Ethylhexylglycerin, Collagen, Glutamic Acid, Aspartic Acid, Glucose, Mannose, Collagen Amino Acids, Lysine, Arginine, Methionine, Cysteine, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Hydrolyzed Rice Bran Protein, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Hydrolyzed Corn Protein, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Disodium EDTA, Maltodextrin, Sorbitol, Fructan, Fructooligosaccharides, Oligopeptide-3, Oligopeptide-1, Citronellol, Geraniol, Linalool, Eugenol, Limonene.

*This full list is sourced directly from this exact SKU's own previously verified, already-published Adilsons product description (the standalone 250ml version of this same formula), not re-derived from memory.

Preservative systems: Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA appear across the line — a modern glycol/glycerin-based preservative approach rather than traditional parabens.

*Based on brand-declared and aggregated third-party INCI. The term "Fragrance" or "Parfum" may contain undisclosed allergens beyond the declared EU 26 list. Patch test advised for sensitive individuals, especially before the leave-in spray, which sits on hair (and can contact skin at the hairline/neck) longer than the rinse-off steps.

Cumulative fragrance load: using all three products in one wash day means at least two, likely three, fragranced formulas layered together — noticeably more scent than a single-product routine. If you are fragrance-sensitive, patch test each component individually rather than trying all three at once.

The Treatment EX contains Chitosan, a sugar derived from crustacean shells. Individuals with a diagnosed shellfish allergy have, in rare cases, reported cross-reactivity to topically applied chitosan-containing products. If you have a known shellfish allergy, patch test the Treatment EX behind the ear or on the inner forearm before applying it to your scalp or hairline.

No other ingredient across the three components matches this store's standard cross-reactivity watch-list (dust mite/snail mucin, bee/propolis, latex/papain, ragweed/chamomile, aspirin/salicylic-acid-sensitivity — note the last one: if you have a diagnosed aspirin/salicylate sensitivity, be aware the Shampoo EX and Treatment EX both contain Salicylic Acid, albeit at rinse-off, undisclosed low concentration).

Halal status: Halal-Friendly* across all three components. No haram (e.g. porcine) animal-derived ingredients were identified in any declared INCI. The Treatment EX contains Isopropyl Alcohol and the No-Wash Treatment EX contains Alcohol Denat. — both are topical, evaporating, non-consumable uses, which many scholars consider permissible; the Shampoo EX's retrieved INCI did not show a denatured alcohol ingredient.

*Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available ingredient data. This is NOT a formal Halal certification. Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars.

Vegan status: Not Vegan — for all three components. The Shampoo EX declares Milk Protein Extract and Collagen Extract; the Treatment EX declares Hydrolyzed Collagen and Collagen Amino Acids; the No-Wash Treatment EX declares Milk Protein Extract, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Pearl Extract, and Collagen. At least one third-party retailer summary described the Shampoo EX as a "vegan formula," which directly conflicts with its own declared Milk Protein Extract and Collagen Extract — that marketing claim appears to be inaccurate or refers to a different product, and is not reflected here.

Cruelty-free status: Cruelty-Free* (brand-stated across the GROWUS line) — not independently certified by Leaping Bunny, PETA, or an equivalent third-party audit.

*Brand-stated policy. Not independently certified by Leaping Bunny, PETA, or equivalent third-party audit.

Microplastic status: Not microplastic-free — the No-Wash Treatment EX contains non-biodegradable silicone polymers (Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane), which persist in wastewater similarly to microplastics even though they are not solid microbeads. The Shampoo EX and Treatment EX do not show this type of polymer in their retrieved ingredient lists.

MFDS classification: General Cosmetic for all three components — no confirmed MFDS Functional Cosmetic designation was found for any of the three specific SKUs, despite the Niacinamide/Salicylic Acid pairing that sometimes appears in functional anti-hair-loss-symptom formulas elsewhere in K-beauty.

Clinical evidence: a brand-commissioned trial (OATC Skin Clinical Trial Centre, 20 adults, January 2024) is cited for the No-Wash Treatment EX specifically — a 20.14% improvement in damaged-cuticle appearance and an 11.43% reduction in breakage after use, with 100% of a satisfaction survey reporting visible repair.* This trial has not been confirmed to also cover the Shampoo EX or Treatment EX, so it is not extended to them here.

*Brand claim — no public dataset available for independent verification.

Evidence confidence: Medium for the No-Wash Treatment EX (a named, dated, brand-commissioned trial exists, even if not independently published); Marketing-Only* for the Shampoo EX's and Treatment EX's general "repair" and "7 collagens / 5 proteins" claims, since no trial data was found for either.

*Marketing-only claim, no independent dataset found.

PAO: Check individual unit packaging for Period-After-Opening; typically 12 months for this category of hair product once opened.

Assessment: Low-to-Medium. The main risk in this kit is not pilling (a skincare-specific term) but silicone/product buildup from the No-Wash Treatment EX if it is used daily without an occasional clarifying wash, and a weighed-down feel if the Treatment EX is applied too close to the roots.

Mitigation: apply the Treatment EX only from mid-lengths down; use a clarifying or chelating shampoo every 1-2 weeks if using the No-Wash Treatment EX daily, to prevent silicone film buildup that can eventually make hair feel dull or resistant to future conditioning.

Storage: keep all three components in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and away from bathroom humidity extremes where possible, to preserve the ferment filtrates and marine extracts common to all three formulas.

Separation note (No-Wash Treatment EX only): this is a bi-phase formula — shake well before every use. Separation is by design, not spoilage.

Spoilage signs: a sour or rancid smell replacing the floral scent, a change in color, or visible separation in the shampoo/treatment (which should not naturally separate) all mean discard. When in doubt, discard.

Patch test: apply a small amount of each component separately to the inner forearm or behind the ear, wait 24 hours, before full use — especially important here since three separate fragranced formulas are involved.

Introduce components separately where possible in the first two weeks, even though all three are designed to be used together, so that if any reaction occurs you can identify which of the three is responsible rather than discontinuing the whole kit unnecessarily.

Pregnancy and nursing: none of the three components contains a high-concentration leave-on active considered a standard pregnancy exclusion in skincare (no retinoids, no high-dose salicylic acid facial treatment). The Shampoo EX and Treatment EX contain Salicylic Acid at an undisclosed, rinse-off, scalp-care concentration, and the No-Wash Treatment EX is a leave-on spray without salicylic acid. If you are pregnant or nursing and prefer to be cautious with any salicylic-acid-containing product, mention this kit to your care provider — this is a general caution, not a specific contraindication identified in this research.

Emergency stop signals: hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, or breathing difficulty — discontinue immediately and seek care.

• Using the Treatment EX as a leave-in (it is a rinse-off formula) — leaving it in will build up and feel heavy.
• Applying the No-Wash Treatment EX directly to the scalp — it is designed for mid-lengths and ends, not roots.
• Stacking a separate leave-in conditioner or hair oil on top of the No-Wash Treatment EX in the same session — this doubles the film-forming layer and usually looks greasy rather than shinier.
• Treating this travel kit as a full-size supply — at 50ml/45g/28ml, this is sized for a trip or a short trial, not months of daily use (see Usage Economics below).
• Expecting scalp or hair-loss benefits from a kit built for fiber repair, not follicle health.

Reorder note (important honesty disclosure): as of this writing, Adilsons does not carry a full-size standalone Shampoo EX or Treatment EX from GROWUS at any volume, and the one related standalone SKU — the GROWUS Damage Therapy No-Wash Treatment EX 250ml — is currently out of stock. This kit's mini sizes will run out well before most damage-repair routines are complete; see the Complete Your Routine section below for verified, currently-in-stock alternatives to bridge that gap rather than assuming an easy full-size reorder of the exact same formula.

Full routine using this kit: (1) Shampoo EX at the scalp and lengths, rinse. (2) Treatment EX from mid-lengths to ends, wait 5-10 minutes, rinse. (3) Towel-dry, then No-Wash Treatment EX (2-4 sprays) on damp mid-lengths and ends, comb through, style.

If your hair is fine or gets weighed down easily: use fewer sprays of the No-Wash Treatment EX (1-2) and keep the Treatment EX strictly to the ends.

If you are in daily air conditioning: the Treatment EX's humectants can be used slightly more generously to counter AC-related dryness between washes.

If you plan to heat-style the same day: apply the No-Wash Treatment EX before blow-drying or hot tools — its silicone film offers heat protection when applied first, not after styling.

When this kit runs out — scalp-care completion (a role not covered by this kit at all):

• Primary: SOME BY MI Cica Peptide Anti Hair Loss Derma Scalp Tonic 150ml — a leave-on scalp spray to pair alongside this kit's hair-fiber focus, applied to the scalp after the No-Wash Treatment EX is applied to the lengths.
• Alternative 1: GROWUS Sea Salt Therapy Scalp Scaler 250g — same brand family, a pre-shampoo scalp exfoliant for oily or humid-weather scalps (limited stock).
• Alternative 2: seapuri Scalpy Root Vital Treatment 150ml — a scalp-purifying treatment for clogged follicles and sweat-related irritation, usable alongside the Shampoo EX if scalp health becomes the priority.
• Alternative 3: SOME BY MI Cica Peptide Anti Hair Loss Derma Scalp Shampoo 285ml — a Centella-based scalp shampoo alternative.

When the Shampoo EX or Treatment EX run out — full-size rinse-off continuation (since GROWUS does not sell either standalone at Adilsons):

• Primary shampoo: CP-1 Bright Complex Intense Nourishing Shampoo (Protein Shampoo) — a similarly protein-forward, sulfate-free shampoo, well-stocked.
• Alternative shampoo: COSRX PEPTIDE-132 Ultra Perfect Hair Bonding Shampoo 200ml.
• Primary treatment/mask: COSRX PEPTIDE-132 Ultra Perfect Hair Bonding Treatment 120ml — a rinse-off 10-minute intensive mask built on the same bonding-peptide logic.
• Alternative treatment/mask: Medicube Rosemary PDRN Damage Care Hair Mask 200ML.

When the No-Wash Treatment EX runs out (its own 250ml size is currently out of stock):

• Primary: d'Alba Professional Repairing Hair Perfume Serum 50ml — a leave-in finishing serum for smoothing ends and adding shine.
• Alternative 1: COSRX PEPTIDE-132 Ultra Perfect Hair Bonding Oil Serum 28ml — same 28ml travel-friendly size as this kit's own leave-in.
• Alternative 2: CP-1 3Seconds Hair Fill-Up Ampoule 170ml.
• Alternative 3: KUNDAL Macadamia Hair Serum English Rose 100ml — same-brand leave-in silicone/oil finishing serum (limited stock).

The recommendations above are based on formulation and routine-role fit with this kit, not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

If you are unsure whether you'll like the GROWUS Damage Therapy line at all, this travel kit is genuinely the lower-commitment way to trial it compared to buying a full-size shampoo or treatment sight-unseen — since neither is sold standalone at Adilsons regardless, the kit is currently the only way to try the Shampoo EX or Treatment EX formulas here at all.

If you already own a rinse-off protein or collagen hair mask you like, consider buying only a leave-in equivalent (see the No-Wash Treatment EX alternatives above) rather than this full 3-piece kit, to avoid redundancy with what you already have.

Mindful-use: if you already have a comparable 3-step hair system at home, finish it first before starting this one — running two full systems in parallel wastes product and makes it hard to tell which one is responsible for any change you see.

This kit's primary function is: cleanse, deep-condition, and leave-in-protect damaged hair. You do not need this kit if you already own a rinse-off protein shampoo, a rinse-off conditioning mask, AND a leave-in silicone or protein spray that you like and are currently using through — finish those first.

Stacking assessment: if you already own only one of the three roles (for example, a shampoo you like but no rinse-off mask or leave-in), this kit still has Significant Benefit for the two missing roles, though you may end up with a spare shampoo you don't need. If you own all three roles already in similar formulas, this kit offers No Benefit beyond variety/travel convenience.

Quick verification tips for this kit: genuine units carry bilingual Korean/English packaging text and a visible batch/manufacturing date on each of the three individual bottles/tubes, not just the outer box.

GROWUS is a Korean cosmeceutical haircare brand built around thalassotherapy (sea-water therapy) — using ocean-derived ingredients such as pearl extract, seaweed complexes, and marine collagen, combined with salon-grade formulation technology, to address hair damage and scalp concerns. The Damage Therapy line is the brand's flagship, and Korean press coverage (Hankyung, October 2024) reported that the shampoo, hair cream treatment, and no-wash treatment in this line each reached the #1 category ranking on Olive Young at points during 2024 — a press-reported and brand-cited claim that Adilsons has not independently re-verified against a live Olive Young snapshot.

No independently confirmed founding date or parent-company structure was found in available sources for this research pass; the brand's own materials position it as a dedicated, direct-to-consumer haircare line rather than a sub-brand of a larger, separately named skincare group.

Shampoo EX: reviewers on retailer platforms describe it as leaving hair smooth, frizz-free, and shiny, with some noting it suits curly or wavy textures well. A recurring complaint theme is that it doesn't clean very oily scalps thoroughly enough, and a minority of long-term, exclusive users reported increased flaking, suggesting alternation with a dedicated scalp shampoo for anyone with an oily or flake-prone scalp.

Treatment EX: reviewers describe visibly restored, softer, smoother hair with less breakage and fewer split ends after use, and an instantly nourished feel on application. One reviewer specifically noted they liked it as part of the shampoo pairing but weren't certain they'd buy it as a standalone product — a fair, mixed data point rather than universal praise.

No-Wash Treatment EX: a YesStyle reviewer with bleached, damaged hair reported it was "surprisingly very lightweight," made hair "so soft and less frizzy," and noted less hair fallout with regular use. A Hwahae reviewer confirmed the softening effect but cautioned "be careful not to spray too much or your hair might get sticky." A longer-term Reddit user (r/SkincareAddiction) noted that after about a year in storage, a yellow layer formed but remixed on shaking — a stability note, not a defect, if used within the product's period-after-opening.

Across all three, the consistent praise theme is smoothness/softness and a strong floral scent; the consistent caution theme is over-application leading to a heavier or greasier feel, especially on fine hair.

Sustainability: rinse the shampoo and treatment containers before recycling where local facilities accept the plastic type; the spray bottle's pump mechanism is typically not recyclable separately from the bottle body — check local guidance.

Is this kit enough for someone with severely bleached or chemically damaged hair? It's a genuine starting point, but at travel/trial sizes it will likely need to be followed by full-size products or a weekly deeper mask for severe damage — see Usage Economics and Complete Your Routine above.

Can I use just the leave-in spray without the shampoo and treatment? Yes — the No-Wash Treatment EX works as a standalone leave-in after any shampoo, though you'll miss the deep-conditioning step's cuticle-smoothing benefit.

Is this kit safe for color-treated hair? No bleaching or color-stripping agents were identified in any of the three INCI lists, but as with any new hair product on recently colored hair, a strand test is a reasonable precaution.

Why does my hair feel greasy after using all three? Most commonly over-application of the leave-in spray or applying the rinse-off treatment too close to the roots — see Troubleshooting above.

Is this the same as the full-size GROWUS products sold elsewhere? The formulas appear to be the same "EX" generation based on cross-retailer naming, but Adilsons has not independently confirmed this against packaging for the mini sizes, and none of the three is currently sold standalone at Adilsons in full size (the No-Wash Treatment EX 250ml exists but is out of stock).

No-Wash Treatment (Leave-in)

A conditioning product applied after washing that is not rinsed out, providing ongoing protection and conditioning.

Cationic conditioning agent

A positively charged conditioning ingredient (e.g. Behentrimonium Chloride) that clings to the negatively charged, damaged surface of hair to smooth it.

Ceramide NP

A lipid naturally found in the hair cuticle that helps bind cuticle layers together and reduce moisture loss.

Bi-phase formula

A product with two visibly separate layers (e.g. oil/silicone and water) that must be shaken together before use.

CGM (Curly Girl Method)

A haircare approach for curly hair that avoids sulfates, non-soluble silicones, and drying alcohols.

Hydrolyzed protein

Protein broken into smaller fragments so it can penetrate or adhere to the hair shaft more effectively than whole protein.

Chitosan

A conditioning polymer derived from crustacean shells, relevant to shellfish-allergy cross-reactivity.

Thalassotherapy

A wellness/cosmetic philosophy built around sea-water and marine-derived ingredients — GROWUS's core brand positioning.

Best for: someone with dry, damaged, frizzy, or over-processed hair who wants a genuine, complementary cleanse-condition-protect system in travel-friendly sizes — either to trial the GROWUS Damage Therapy line before committing to full-size products elsewhere, or to carry while travelling.

Key benefits: three non-redundant components covering cleanse, deep-condition, and leave-in protection; a consistent, well-documented protein/marine-collagen formulation signature across all three; a real (if brand-commissioned) clinical data point behind the leave-in step.

Keep in mind: not vegan; not a scalp-health or hair-loss product; and — most importantly for a repeat-purchase decision — neither the Shampoo EX nor the Treatment EX is currently sold in full size at Adilsons, and the matching full-size No-Wash Treatment EX is out of stock, so treat this kit as a trial or travel purchase rather than an easy-to-repeat staple for now.
