Frequently asked questions

Does Colour Protect+ Blackberry & Quinoa Shampoo 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 Shampoo with caution and patch test before full use.

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

No parabens were detected in Colour Protect+ Blackberry & Quinoa Shampoo's listed ingredients. Worth keeping in perspective: parabens are among the least common cosmetic allergens, so "paraben-free" matters far less for reactive skin than avoiding fragrance or the preservative MI/MCI.

It depends on your specific triggers. Colour Protect+ Blackberry & Quinoa Shampoo contains 5 flagged allergens and 3 irritants (listed in the analysis above).
