Frequently asked questions
Does Fructis Strength & Shine Conditioner contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 8 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, hexyl cinnamal, limonene, benzyl salicylate, geraniol, citronellol, citrus grandis peel oil. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Fructis Strength & Shine Conditioner with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Fructis Strength & Shine Conditioner paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Fructis Strength & Shine 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 Fructis Strength & Shine Conditioner suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Fructis Strength & Shine Conditioner contains 11 flagged allergens and 2 irritants (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 Strength & Shine Conditioner against your own profile.
