Frequently asked questions

Does Nourishing Body Wash With Shea Butter 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 Nourishing Body Wash With Shea Butter with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Nourishing Body Wash With Shea Butter paraben-free?
