Frequently asked questions

Does Hair Restore Triple Action Scalp Detox Cleanser contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 1 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Hair Restore Triple Action Scalp Detox Cleanser with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Hair Restore Triple Action Scalp Detox Cleanser paraben-free?
