Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 9 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, coumarin, citral, benzyl cinnamate, geraniol, limonene, citronellol, benzyl salicylate. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Ultimate Blends Coconut & Macadamia Hair Food 3-In-1 Mask with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Ultimate Blends Coconut & Macadamia Hair Food 3-In-1 Mask paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Ultimate Blends Coconut & Macadamia Hair Food 3-In-1 Mask'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.
