Frequently asked questions

Does Fructis Cucumber Freshness Shampoo contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 7 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, geraniol, alpha-isomethyl ionone, hydroxycitronellal, hexyl cinnamal, benzyl alcohol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Fructis Cucumber Freshness Shampoo with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Fructis Cucumber Freshness Shampoo paraben-free?

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

It depends on your specific triggers. Fructis Cucumber Freshness Shampoo 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 Fructis Cucumber Freshness Shampoo against your own profile.
