If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Fructis Curl Knot Melter Multi-Use Anti-Breakage Detangling Milk with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Fructis Curl Knot Melter Multi-Use Anti-Breakage Detangling Milk paraben-free?

It depends on your specific triggers. Fructis Curl Knot Melter Multi-Use Anti-Breakage Detangling Milk contains 13 flagged allergens and 3 irritants (listed in the analysis above).
