Moroccanoil · $32Kristin Ess · $11.25 $15

Shared: Four of the first five ingredients sit in the same places: HFC-152a as the main propellant, denatured alcohol, VP/VA copolymer for hold and zeolite, the mineral that soaks up oil for the gritty finish; Moroccanoil's second propellant is butane where Kristin Ess uses dimethyl ether.
The trade-off: Moroccanoil promises a firmer hold and adds its argan oil and a hydrolyzed wheat protein, while Kristin Ess, sold as light hold with a soft matte finish, adds sunflower, avocado and castor oils, mango butter and seaweed extracts, and smells of pear.
