Silicone for beautiful hair?

We all want shiny, supple, and healthy hair. But what if that "shine" you see is actually an illusion? Silicones are found in many classic hair products, but they do less for your hair than you think.

Silicone hides, it doesn't repair

After using silicone, your hair feels soft and appears fuller. Why? Silicones are water-resistant and form a smooth layer around your hair strands. This layer adds shine and manageability, but doesn't change the actual condition of your hair. Was it dry, brittle, or lifeless? It will stay that way—you just won't see it right away.

Moreover, silicones are stubborn. They're difficult to wash out and build up, not only on your hair but also on your scalp. This prevents your skin from breathing properly, and your body's natural oils no longer reach your hair roots. The result: your scalp becomes unbalanced, your hair weakened, and you find yourself washing or changing products more often.

RainPharma chooses real care

So, no silicones at RainPharma and Clothilde in general. Instead of covering things up, we choose plant power and smart science. RainPharma shampoos and conditioners contain advanced, plant-based alternatives such as esters of natural fatty acids. These:

• nourish your hair from within,

• make it soft and smooth,

• help untangle,

• and leave no residue.

Combine that with a balanced diet and possibly supplements, and you will work towards hair that truly becomes stronger, fuller and healthier.

Why you should adjust your shampoo and conditioner

Choosing natural hair care? Top choice. But there's one pitfall: combining a natural shampoo with a conditioner loaded with silicone. That won't work.

Why not?
A plant-based shampoo is mild and doesn't contain harsh cleansers. This makes it harder to remove silicones. If you do use a conditioner with silicone, those residues build up even faster. Your hair then feels heavy, greasy, or unwashed – while your shampoo is wrongly blamed. The problem lies with the silicones that stick.

The right combination: gentle washing and real nourishment

RainPharma shampoos cleanse your hair while respecting your scalp and microbiome. They contain no sulfates, silicones, parabens, or synthetic fragrances, and foam with coconut and sugar derivatives. Your hair will be clean without becoming dry or brittle.

After washing, RainPharma conditioner provides natural care and protection. Thanks to plant-based oils, natural lipids, and probiotics, it repairs your hair without weighing it down or clogging it. No silicone film, just nourishment right down to the core.

Ready to leave the illusion behind?

Silicones might give you a temporary feeling of healthy hair, but they don't build anything. They mask what's wrong, instead of fixing it.

By choosing natural products like those from RainPharma, you're giving your hair and scalp breathing room again and allowing your own sebum production to do its job. Combine a silicone-free shampoo with a silicone-free conditioner, and you'll feel the difference within a few weeks.
