Frequently asked questions
Does Whole Blends Hair Remedy Honey Treasures Shampoo contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 5 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, benzyl alcohol, coumarin, limonene, benzyl salicylate.

Is Whole Blends Hair Remedy Honey Treasures Shampoo paraben-free?
