Safety & Allergens

Fragrance allergens (linalool, geraniol, coumarin) may be present if fragrance is listed.

Colorants are aesthetic only — skip if you react to synthetic dyes.

Strong surfactants and fragrance can bother very sensitive scalps.

Patch test before full use if you have fragrance allergies or reactive skin.

Summary
