Not a spray that leaves a powdery trace, not a powder that requires brushing out, but a paste that you apply with your fingertips to absorb excess oil at the roots, add matte texture through the lengths, and style into a fresh, second-day look in one step. Oil absorption and texture styling simultaneously, with Zeolite mineral absorption and a nourishing oil complex that leaves hair feeling refreshed and conditioned rather than stripped. The product that makes wash day less urgent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eDry Shampoo Paste N°205 is an anhydrous-base paste — the oil-absorption and styling system operates in an almost entirely oil-phase formula with mineral actives rather than the water-and-alcohol base of aerosol dry shampoos. This is what gives the paste its characteristic texture and its multi-functional performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZeolite\u003c\/strong\u003e is the primary oil-absorbing active and the ingredient that defines this product's performance advantage over starch-based dry shampoos. Zeolite is a naturally occurring aluminosilicate mineral with an exceptionally high surface area and porous, cage-like molecular structure. This structure acts like a molecular sponge — each cage traps and holds sebum and oil molecules within its framework rather than simply coating them, as starch does. The result is more thorough, longer-lasting oil absorption per gram of active than starch-based formulas can provide, and no white cast on dark or brunette hair (because the mineral is transparent rather than white). \u003cstrong\u003eSilica\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eMagnesium Sulfate\u003c\/strong\u003e reinforce the oil-absorption system — hydrated silica provides additional surface-area-based sebum absorption, and magnesium sulfate (the same sea mineral in REF's Ocean Mist N°303) provides texture-building bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStearalkonium Hectorite\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clay-based thickener — a surface-treated hectorite clay that gives the paste its smooth, malleable texture and provides the grip and micro-texture that creates the styling control. Clay-based texturisers deposit at the hair shaft surface and create the micro-friction between strands that makes them feel thicker and more substantial, supporting the styling capacity of the formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCocos Nucifera (Organic Coconut) Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e is the formula's primary emollient — the same hero ingredient that appears in REF Stockholm's Signature Collection Leave In Serum. Here it serves a different function: in a dry shampoo paste, the Coconut Oil counteracts the drying tendency of the mineral absorption complex, keeping hair feeling soft and conditioned while the zeolite is absorbing oil. \u003cstrong\u003eSclerocarya Birrea (Marula) Seed Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e provides additional emollient conditioning — rich in Oleic acid with rapid absorption and a characteristic silky, non-greasy feel. \u003cstrong\u003eHelianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e provides lightweight emollient and antioxidant support. \u003cstrong\u003eGlycine Soja (Soybean) Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes additional emollient fatty acids. \u003cstrong\u003eTrihydroxystearin\u003c\/strong\u003e is a hydrogenated castor oil-derived emollient that contributes to the paste's smooth body and texture stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers the REF Stockholm care signature protein and amino acid support. \u003cstrong\u003eTocopherol (Vitamin E)\u003c\/strong\u003e provides antioxidant protection and oil-phase stabilisation. \u003cstrong\u003eHelianthus Annuus Seed Extract\u003c\/strong\u003e provides UV and antioxidant protection including the REF Colour Preserve System.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eREF Colour Preserve System\u003c\/strong\u003e is active in this formula — protecting colour-treated hair from UV-driven fade even on days when you're refreshing rather than washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFragrance: fresh citrus (Citrus Aurantium \/ bitter orange) with warm floral base notes — light and clean for a dry shampoo context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e100% vegan.

Particularly effective for colour-treated hair (the Colour Preserve System works even between washes), and for hair types that accumulate oil quickly but find aerosol dry shampoos too drying, powdery, or difficult to distribute. The paste format is especially useful on day-two or day-three hair where both oil absorption and texture styling are needed simultaneously. Apply to dry or towel-dried hair at the roots for oil absorption, or through mid-lengths and ends for texture and matte finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Ingredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZeolite\u003c\/strong\u003e — Naturally occurring volcanic aluminosilicate mineral with cage-like molecular structure; absorbs and traps sebum molecules more thoroughly and lastingly than starch-based dry shampoos; no white cast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilica \u0026amp; Magnesium Sulfate\u003c\/strong\u003e — Supporting mineral oil-absorption complex; adds texture-building bulk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStearalkonium Hectorite\u003c\/strong\u003e — Clay-based thickener; creates the paste's malleable texture and the micro-friction between strands that supports grip and styling control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCocos Nucifera (Organic Coconut) Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e — Penetrating emollient; counteracts the drying tendency of the mineral absorption complex and conditions the hair shaft during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSclerocarya Birrea (Marula) Seed Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e — Rapidly absorbing emollient rich in Oleic acid; silky, non-greasy conditioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract\u003c\/strong\u003e — Protein and amino acid reinforcement at the hair surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTocopherol (Vitamin E)\u003c\/strong\u003e — Antioxidant protection and oil-phase stabilisation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e Apply a small amount to dry or towel-dried hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor oil absorption (roots):\u003c\/strong\u003e Work a pea-sized amount between palms to warm, then work into the roots and scalp area with fingertips.
