Frequently asked questions
Does Baby Wash & Shampoo With Organic Calendula contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 1 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Baby Wash & Shampoo With Organic Calendula with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Baby Wash & Shampoo With Organic Calendula paraben-free?
