Frequently asked questions
Does Oil Repair 3 Butter Strengthening Conditioner contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 8 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, limonene, linalool, benzyl alcohol, benzyl cinnamate, coumarin, hexyl cinnamal, benzyl salicylate. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Oil Repair 3 Butter Strengthening Conditioner with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Oil Repair 3 Butter Strengthening Conditioner paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Oil Repair 3 Butter Strengthening 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.

It depends on your specific triggers. Oil Repair 3 Butter Strengthening Conditioner 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 Oil Repair 3 Butter Strengthening Conditioner against your own profile.
