American Crew Fiber replacement without parabenes or anything dodgy?

I bought this one like back in 2020 or perhaps earlier, it lasted ages. There is still some, but I probably should change it, even tho it still somehow looks and smells good, but just in case.

I have read they have changed the formula. As usual, probably they use cheaper ingredients now or who knows.

So I was wondering, is there any natural alternatives that give you a texture that is not detectable (no wet effect or anything) and makes your hair stand against wind and so on?

This Kevin Murphy stuff I've heard gets so spammed here that it looks like a dodgy marketing campaign so I want some alternatives.

I asked AI and said this:
