Frequently asked questions

Does Ultra Doux Castor & Almond Healing Shampoo contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 5 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, hexyl cinnamal, benzyl alcohol, benzyl salicylate. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Ultra Doux Castor & Almond Healing Shampoo with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Ultra Doux Castor & Almond Healing Shampoo paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Ultra Doux Castor & Almond Healing Shampoo'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 Ultra Doux Castor & Almond Healing Shampoo suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Ultra Doux Castor & Almond Healing Shampoo contains 8 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 Ultra Doux Castor & Almond Healing Shampoo against your own profile.
