Frequently asked questions
Does Curl Nourish Moisturizing Conditioner contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 9 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, hexyl cinnamal, linalool, benzyl alcohol, benzyl cinnamate, coumarin, limonene, geraniol, benzyl salicylate. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Curl Nourish Moisturizing Conditioner with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Curl Nourish Moisturizing Conditioner paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Curl Nourish Moisturizing Conditioner'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 Curl Nourish Moisturizing Conditioner suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Curl Nourish Moisturizing Conditioner contains 10 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 Curl Nourish Moisturizing Conditioner against your own profile.
