Boticário Match Science Crescimento Conditioner – Scalp-Care Conditioning with Baicapil and Red Cedar Oil – 9.47 fl oz (280 ml)

Boticário Match Science Crescimento Conditioner – 9.47 fl oz (280 ml) is a rinse-off conditioner made in Brazil by O Boticário, one of the country’s most loved beauty houses. "Match Science Crescimento" is the Brazilian name of the line and is kept in Portuguese exactly as it appears on the bottle.

The cream melts through wet hair and coats the lengths with slip, so knots come undone with your fingers instead of a fight. Behentrimonium Chloride and cetearyl alcohol smooth the cuticle, silicones add glide and shine, and castor oil, red cedar oil and the Baicapil® botanical blend named on the pack help condition the hair surface so strands look and feel stronger, softer and easier to manage.

Brazilian haircare is built for humidity, heat and frequent washing, and this conditioner follows that tradition: generous slip, a light and comfortable finish on the scalp, and the fresh signature scent O Boticário is known for. It is the conditioner partner to the Match Science Crescimento shampoo.

Key Features:

• Immediate detangling: a rich, creamy cream coats wet hair with slip so knots release easily and combing is gentler on the lengths.
• Soft, smooth finish: Behentrimonium Chloride, cetearyl alcohol and amodimethicone smooth the cuticle so hair feels silky and looks glossier.
• Stronger-looking fiber: conditioning agents and the Baicapil® botanical blend help improve the appearance of weakened, brittle-looking strands.
• Scalp comfort: a lightweight rinse-off formula that leaves the scalp area feeling clean and comfortable rather than coated.
• Castor oil and red cedar oil: two signatures of the line, included here to help soften and condition the hair surface.
• Brazilian origin: formulated and manufactured in Brazil by O Boticário, Cruelty Free certified and never tested on animals.
• Family-size tube: 280 ml (9.47 fl oz) for the shower, sized to last through a full routine.

How To Use

1. After shampooing, squeeze excess water out of the hair.
2. Spread the conditioner along the lengths, from mid-shaft to ends.
3. Detangle gently with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb and leave it on for a few minutes.
4. Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water.
5. Use after every wash, and follow with your usual leave-in or styling products.

Expert Tip: keep the cream on the lengths and ends where the damage lives, not on the roots, and detangle while it is still in the hair — that is when the slip is highest and breakage from combing is lowest.

Ingredients (Highlights)

• Baicapil® blend (Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Triticum Vulgare Germ Extract, Glycine Soja Germ Extract): the botanical complex named on the Brazilian packaging, included in this formula as a conditioning plant-extract blend.
• Behentrimonium Chloride: the main conditioning agent, which clings to the hair surface to neutralize static and make wet detangling far easier.
• Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil: a classic Brazilian haircare oil that helps soften the fiber and adds richness to the cream.
• Juniperus Virginiana (Red Cedar) Oil: the aromatic woody oil named on the pack, part of the line’s signature scent and finish.
• Dimethiconol, Dimethicone and Amodimethicone: silicones that smooth the cuticle, add glide and leave the lengths looking shinier.

FAQ

Can I use it on color-treated or chemically straightened hair?

Yes. It is a standard cosmetic rinse-off conditioner and can be used on colored, relaxed or keratin-treated hair. Rinse with cool water to keep color looking fresh for longer.

I have a soy, wheat or gluten allergy. Can I use it?

We would not recommend it without medical advice. The formula contains Glycine Soja (Soybean) Germ Extract and Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Extract. Please read the full INCI above and talk to your healthcare professional.

Does it contain silicones? Will it weigh my hair down?

Yes, it contains Dimethiconol, Dimethicone and Amodimethicone. They are what give the glide and shine. Applied from mid-lengths to ends and rinsed well, fine hair usually stays light; apply less if your hair is very fine.

Do I have to use the matching shampoo?

No. It works with any shampoo, but it was designed as the partner to the Match Science Crescimento shampoo and the two share the same fresh signature scent.

Will my tube be labeled in Portuguese?

Yes. This is the authentic Brazilian product shipped from its original market, so the packaging is printed in Portuguese. The full English ingredient list and directions are on this page. Packaging artwork may vary while older stock lasts; the formula is the same.
