Tootilab Gentle Shampoo
- Cocamidopropyl betaine, lauryl glucoside and sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, four mild cleansers sharing the work instead of one harsh sulfate.
- Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride and polyquaternium-7, conditioning agents that stay behind after rinsing so hair is not left squeaky.
- Inulin and alpha-glucan oligosaccharide, prebiotics included to support the scalp.
- Aloe vera leaf juice powder and argan oil esters, which put softness back as the cleansers lift oil away.

Tootilab Detangling Conditioner
- Behentrimonium chloride and cetrimonium chloride, two conditioning agents that give the slip you detangle with.
- Cetearyl alcohol, a fatty alcohol rather than a drying one, which is what makes a conditioner feel creamy.
- Coconut seed butter and blackcurrant seed oil, which soften the lengths without a heavy coating.
- Niacinamide and panthenol, included for the scalp and to hold water in the strand.

Tootilab Soft Leave-in Cream
- Chickpea seed extract, third on the list, which is unusual and is used here for softness and body.
- Flaxseed oil, the ingredient that gives a leave-in cream any real curl clumping.
- Murumuru and shea butters with jojoba oil, which soften a dry strand enough for it to bend into a curl.
- Polyquaternium-37, a light film former, which is why this cream holds a shape as well as moisturising it.
Full ingredient list

Tootilab All Weather Styling Gel
- Hydrolysed corn starch, second on the list. It is a starch rather than a protein, and it is what gives the gel its hold.
- Sodium hyaluronate, a humectant that holds water in the strand so the cast stays flexible rather than going brittle.
- Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, which keeps the gel from leaving hair grabby as it dries.
- Salicylic acid and mushroom extract, both included for the scalp.
Full ingredient list
Water (Aqua), Hydrolyzed Corn Starch, Glycerin, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Citric Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Benzyl Alcohol, Fragrance (Parfum), Fructose, Hydroxyacetophenone, Sodium Hydroxide, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Salicylic Acid, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Polyporus Umbellatus (Mushroom) Extract, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Linalool.
Protein free. The hydrolysed corn starch is a carbohydrate, not a protein. Contains fragrance.
Across all four
Every product in this set is completely protein free, which makes it one of the few full routines a protein-sensitive curl can use end to end. All four are sulfate free and silicone free, and all four are fragranced. The conditioner and the leave-in cream contain propylene glycol, which some curly girl method followers avoid. The brush in this set has no formula of its own.
