Frequently asked questions

Does Fructis Color Shield Shampoo contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 6 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, hexyl cinnamal, amyl cinnamal, benzyl salicylate, citronellol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Fructis Color Shield Shampoo with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Fructis Color Shield Shampoo paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Fructis Color Shield 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 Fructis Color Shield Shampoo suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Fructis Color Shield Shampoo contains 11 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 Fructis Color Shield Shampoo against your own profile.
