Frequently asked questions
Does Wachstum + Stärke Shampoo contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 2 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Wachstum + Stärke Shampoo with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Wachstum + Stärke Shampoo paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Wachstum + Stärke 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 Wachstum + Stärke Shampoo suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Wachstum + Stärke Shampoo contains 4 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (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 Wachstum + Stärke Shampoo against your own profile.
