Frequently asked questions
Does Hydrating Hair Mask Aloe Extract contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 8 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, limonene, benzyl alcohol, linalool, alpha-isomethyl ionone, coumarin, hexyl cinnamal, benzyl salicylate. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Hydrating Hair Mask Aloe Extract with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Hydrating Hair Mask Aloe Extract paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Hydrating Hair Mask Aloe Extract'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 Hydrating Hair Mask Aloe Extract suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Hydrating Hair Mask Aloe Extract contains 9 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 Hydrating Hair Mask Aloe Extract against your own profile.
