The science

Enzymes do the work gently.

Knox gelatin is a protein. KnoxAway® uses naturally derived enzymes to break the protein bonds holding it together, so the gel slides away under warm water instead of clinging to your hair.

Enzymatic hydrolysis

Targeted enzymes cleave the peptide bonds in gelatin, dissolving the hardened helmet without abrasives or alcohols.

pH-balanced for hair

Formulated near the natural pH of healthy hair (4.5–5.5) so the cuticle stays smooth and shiny.

Pro-Vitamin B5 (Panthenol)

Penetrates the hair shaft to lock in moisture and improve elasticity after chlorine exposure.

Hyaluronic Acid

Holds up to 1,000× its weight in water, rehydrating scalp and strands post-routine.

Consumer-friendly formulation

KnoxAway® is formulated to meet personal-care cosmetic standards in the U.S. and follows FDA labeling guidance for rinse-off cosmetic products. We avoid sulfates, parabens, phthalates, and harsh dyes in favor of plant-derived and skin-safe alternatives.
