Frequently asked questions
Does Ultimate Blends Aloe Vera Hair Food Quenching Shampoo contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 4 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, geraniol, citronellol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Ultimate Blends Aloe Vera Hair Food Quenching Shampoo with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Ultimate Blends Aloe Vera Hair Food Quenching Shampoo paraben-free?
