Frequently asked questions

Does Dercos Anti-Dandruff Shampoo For Sensitive Scalp contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 2 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, farnesol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Dercos Anti-Dandruff Shampoo For Sensitive Scalp with caution and patch test before full use.
