Frequently asked questions
Does Whole Blends Honey Treasures Repairing Shampoo contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 5 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, coumarin, limonene, benzyl alcohol, benzyl salicylate. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Whole Blends Honey Treasures Repairing Shampoo with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Whole Blends Honey Treasures Repairing Shampoo paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Whole Blends Honey Treasures Repairing 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.

It depends on your specific triggers. Whole Blends Honey Treasures Repairing Shampoo contains 8 flagged allergens and 2 irritants (listed in the analysis above).
