Frequently asked questions

Does Colour Protect+ Blackberry & Quinoa Conditioner contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 3 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, benzyl alcohol, limonene. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Colour Protect+ Blackberry & Quinoa Conditioner with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Colour Protect+ Blackberry & Quinoa Conditioner paraben-free?

It depends on your specific triggers. Colour Protect+ Blackberry & Quinoa Conditioner contains 5 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (listed in the analysis above).
