Frequently asked questions
Does Oil Repair Intensiv Shampoo contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 2 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Oil Repair Intensiv Shampoo with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Oil Repair Intensiv Shampoo paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Oil Repair Intensiv 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.
Is Oil Repair Intensiv Shampoo suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Oil Repair Intensiv Shampoo contains 4 flagged allergens and 2 irritants (listed in the analysis above). If none are on your personal allergen list it may suit you, but patch test first — add your allergens to AllerNote to check Oil Repair Intensiv Shampoo against your own profile.
