How each score was set

Usability 7.5 /10

From published features and owner comments · not a lab test.

Published ingredients and specs8.0/10
The clarifier page gives its INCI, three bottle sizes and directions, with hair type and origin covered; certification is absent.
Price transparency10.0/10
Each Anti-Residue size is listed with its own dollar figure, and nothing suggests a never-charged list price.
Return window5.0/10
Opened but lightly used clarifier bottles qualify for the 30-day email-initiated return; heavily used ones do not.
Guarantee and defect cover5.0/10
Satisfaction cover for this cleanser rests on the general 30-day return terms, as Unwash publishes no separate guarantee.
Subscription terms9.0/10
Buying once needs no sign-up, and the site-wide auto-delivery program allows self-service cancellation but promises no reminder email.
